Pure Spec 2007/Comic Talks III was a load of fun, and now I feel like crap. I think I've contracted the cold all PS's organizers had over the weekend.

Much to mull over, possibly in public, when I'm capable of thoughts that don't involve painkillers and the sweet release of death.

Tony Lee and Dan Boultwood's pulp superhero send-up THE GLOOM joins The Chemistry Set (chemsetcomics.com) October 19.
