The first issue I ever saw, one a trip with my dad, and was caught by it immediately. My father, chronically unimaginative unless it was about eating or watching football, pulled me away from this, for me, new wonder.

  Welcome Peter! That’s a bittersweet story. I hope you eventually got the book. It is a wild cover. I have not seen this movie either. The 72 Fearbook Reptile grabbed me in a similar fashion. Forry knew what he was doing!
  
  Looking forward to chatting with you. Enjoy the portal!
