The best laid plans… I sent HEROES NOW: PATRIOT and STRANGE TIMES #1 off to the printer last week and received the digital proofs on Friday. STRANGE TIMES looks great. Totally ready to roll. PATRIOT, however, caused me to pause. The grey-tones that Tony Lorenz used were showing up as plaid on my screen. (AsContinue reading “Production snags”
