Festival of Gratitude, Part 97

Stuff I like

Have been befriended of late by Len Wein, whose name will ring so many bells with comic book readers that some of you may think the Rapture has begun. In fact Team Pudu recently visited the glamorous Wein Ranch and Pop Culture Repository, and so gratitude here for what a fine shindig it was.

If you scroll down either this blog or his, you'll see how we crossed paths. You may even notice some similarities in writing style, not least the frequent apologies for not updating the blog more often under various deadlines.

Anyhow, if you're a true baseball fan, you appreciate Greg Maddux. If you're into banjo, you probably dig Bela Fleck. And if you love comics, you've probably already read Len for years. And now you can go read more.
