Mail Call For 8.28.23

The other day I was thinking about someone who was a bit on the odd side, and it reminded me of someone who had an entry in today’s Mail Call item.

(That memory is, of course, what led me to go online and order said Mail Call item.)

The Big Book of Weirdos

There were several big books in the Big Book series – published by a now-defunct imprint of DC Comics known as Paradox Press – and I’ve read most of them but have never actually had my own copy of any of them.

I ordered this one because I was reminded of it and because it was a personal favorite. It’s possible that I may order some of the others at some point, but given my fondness for this one in particular, I may be content with a single purchase.

At least for a little while.
