Here, let me  look through it again. Hey, there&#8217;s no Devildoll in this Dragonface and  Devildoll story by Des McElroy. Too bad it&#8217;s still a great story without  her. Yep, liked the short from Bob Byrne. And the one with the  pictures, and I can (sadly enough) relate to the one from Brendan Byrne.

I&#8217;ve been kind of unconvinced about  Kick the Cat until now, that one was fantastic. Christ, the Monster  Truck Bonanza story&#8230; Sorry folks, nothing to complain about here. I  think you should send them $5 or so immediately (it&#8217;s a big anthology  and it looks great, don&#8217;t worry, it&#8217;s worth it), but I&#8217;m insanely biased  towards good comics. OK, here&#8217;s another sample.
