A Post in Praise of Pete
« on: July 10, 2009, 02:46:00 PM »
Thnaks to Pete, I now have about five to ten punds of really great comics.  I assume the rest of you got yours today, too.  Among the really neat finds in mine were a Lenore comic (I love Roman Dirge), an issue of Daredevil that I had as a kid, and a nice set of Joss Whedon's run on Astonishing X-Men, which I have not had a chance to read yet.  Quite a few other things that always looked intriguing bu I had never picked up, too.  Anyway, thanks, Pete.  You are great, and this was such a nice thing to do.

That's a nice thing you did, Pete.

FOT are good people.

I haven't got mine yet but 3 cheers for Pete anyway.
You look like a really healthy Arthy Lang.

Pete's getting something back from me if he puts a return address on the pack. I don't know what yet, and he may hate it, but he's getting SOMETHING.

Holy moly thanks pete! Yesterday, I got the slip in my mailbox that a package had arrived for me. I ordered a book online so I was expecting a small package. Going through the pile of mail in the manager's office, I notice a gigantic lump of manilla staring up at me with my name on it and suddenly it dawns on me what it is. I opened it up. I got a Michael Kuperman comic! I got some Concrete (which I've heard some great things about)! I got some free comic book day comics! I got a Looney Tunes comic! I got a Star Trek comic!

Thank you so much, pete.

oh, nice, one other lucky fella got the other issue of Tales Designed to Thrizzle I had laying around.  It does NOT get funnier than Kupperman's stuff, I love it.

Concrete *is* really good, sometimes incredibly preachy, but generally very well done and interesting.  Glad you're psyched, man.
