This issue features a special introduction by Publishers Weekly editor Calvin Reid and brandishes new yarns "Aim to Dazzle," " Little by Small," "Ice Man," and the two-color mute tale "Pinata." A2D also includes the rarely seen 4-color "Closet Shut-In," "No Matter What," and anthology favorites "The Big To Do," and "The Y2-401-Special-K Problem."
