Quote Of The Week
"I spent every dime I had as a kid on comic books; I read the Sunday Comics and I worshiped MAD Magazine as well. This was the world my parents were not privy to and did not understand; the comics were where I went to be left the fuck alone. I was happy there and everything was possible, and in the Marvel Comics, good didn't always trump over evil. It was a more complicated and believable world. Life wasn't fair, and the guys who were "different" were Heroes. Special abilities were the property of the "other." Special powers were gifted to the suffering, alienated child, and via conferring special gifts to those who were different, the mutants, geeks and outcasts became powerful. It was a compelling message for me as a child."-- Tony Fitzpatrick
