DetailsI WILL TELL YOU #65: No More Walks Despite her age, declining mental state, and increasing reliance on others, she remained physically healthy and as active as the aforementioned conditions would allow.

Actually it then became Heroines Showcase, but I’ll leave those issues for another edition of Fabulous Finds! That version…

DetailsHowdy and welcome to Black Friday!

And that character? It’s The Spectre, from D C C0mics and the…
