Still at it...
I've been asked to submit a few representative images for an upcoming coffee table book on Black Comix... most may be familiar to regular visitors of this blog, others not... but here's my two cents worth. (click to enlarge) Thanks to John Jennings and Damian Duffy for including me once again in another of their fine projects. Lance Tooks
