It’s [...] [...] By Marc Arsenault | October 29th, 2010 | Leave a comment

Is a porno comic. Yes, Brandon Graham’s 56 page smut comic from 2003 Perverts of the Unknown is that most rarest and sought after of things. Impossible to find in a reasonable condition for less than One Thousand US Dollars! As the sole reviewer on Amazon attests (in box, below), it is not the most [...] [...] By Marc Arsenault | December 17th, 2009 | 5 comments
