They’re really fun, dated obviously, but the Rom book has some great stuff, along with a whole Invasion of the Body Snatchers vibe

I know how fondly ROM is thought of by many 80s comics fans. Perhaps a few folks haven’t seen Jean Frisano’s covers for the ROM reprints in France’s Strange magazine. Clearly familiar, and sometimes, er, very familiar, & yet different enough in their own fun way.

Also, Red to Kill, and Run and Kill. Ebola Syndrome (though that one is not as actually good)

I’ve been teasing a lot but holy shit do I love this panel from Joe Sinnott - this sweaty eyeball closeup is so unhinged and wild.

I LOVE Platoon, I’ve watched it so many times. Insanely good ensemble cast, terrific script and performances, I can rewatch it infinitely the same way I can rewatch Boogie Nights.
