Anyway, I see nothing wrong w/ Image reaching for the highly-coveted twee cuddlefuck demo (which I may or may not be a part of).
The Spawn soundtrack better be #3, though.

one month passes...
there has already been a b&s comic strip telling the story of how they met - all the pictures on sinister list website are taken from it (and i should know - i scanned them in) (um, link to original is broken now, and after only 9 years...)
i have a Mouse single with a Ted McKeever cover, does that count?

nine months pass...
So, uhm, I got this and have read it. It's ok, cute, hit-and-miss as these anthologies are bound to be.
The first page sez "This book belongs to..." and then gives you a little space to fill your name in.
