So that was Monday November 10th 2025. Crikey. Another day done, another day (more or less) here. So it goes.
(Out this very month in 1989, “Crime & Punishment: Marshal Law Takes Manhattan”, with its cover by Kevin O’Neill.)
And so to bed. Sleep well, gentle sentients of Planet Earth.

Whatever else might be said about Funko Pops, I’m glad I’ve got this take on The Spectre. The dead eyes suit the character perfectly. I’ve never seen another figure from the vast number produced by the company that I’ve liked, but this is a splendid exception to the rule.
