  2. Well, the cover had to be cleaned and re-jigged a few times -again just before publishing. I think 9 times in total! Having written that I remember I was working on it at 0100 hrs one morning. Krakos is the main, if only, character Ward is known for since Disney sites appear to have expunged his name. Take care and watch out as with all the isolation going on Hibagon have been seen on the outskirts of cities and towns!

  3. I'll put an order in for this one. The mere mention of Steve Dowling, plus Bob Monkhouse in this issue. My old friend Bib Edwards would say Sockamagee, it's a must!
