Great work, I learned a lot about this character, that I too wondered about.

Thanks! I hope to keep making more of these, but life lately doesn't give me as much time as I used to have. The next one to get made should be about The Avenger.

I always wondered about the spider, I never knew why he was so popular, but now I know why! It sounds like a great read!

Same here. I always wondered why what seemed like a Shadow rip-off was so big... then I read one of his stories. It's a lot of fun (violent fun).

Another excellent choice in music, I'm loving these essays.

@yoshi3329 cause he was one mean s.o.b. One famous moment in the series was his need for a human head apparently for a sting operation; he simply searched til he found a criminal in the midst of a crime...and then casually decapitated him!

It's about halfway done, and I never realized just how crazy G8's concepts are. It should be up sometime this weekend.
