I've never even heard of Firearm! It sounds intriguing! Tell
us more about
Firearm! Who published them, how many, who drew 'em, etc. And
who cares,
anyway, how you got here, you're here now. I got here through
Roy Rogers
myself!
The whole comic thing has, in fact, been discussed a bit here
before, and
probably will again. In fact, I think comic book P.I.s might
be the next
topic for a poll or guestbook on my site. I'll let you guys
know in a few
days...I'm re-compiling the list of cheese (damn free
Guestbook crashed!)
and I'll have it up soon...
By the way, speaking of comics, Stray Bullets #15 just came
out (at last!).
It's on my TBR comics pile, along with a few other
hardboiled-type comics,
including Hitman, Jonny Double, Sandman Mystery Theatre, and
The Detective
(which seems to be an English reprint or update of Max
Faccione, which was
originally done in Belgium, I think, in the early
eighties...does anyone
know anymore about Faccione?)
