Spicer's "Graphic Story Magazine" mustn't be confused w/ Kyle's "Graphic Story Review" column which started in "Graphic Story Magazine" when it was called "Fantasy Illustrated" & mustn't be confused w/ "Graphic Story World" which Kyle founded before renaming it "Wonderworld." 🤔.

“I played a medley of Keith Sweat, Bell Biv Devoe, Hammer, and Public Enemy pop songs on the piano.” After reading this sentence in Along Came a Spider, I have a sudden and irresistible urge to write something about James Patterson.

Just remember, this film has nothing--not a thing--to do with class!.
First trailer for Yorgos Lanthimos’ ‘BUGONIA’, starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons. The film follows 2 conspiracy-obsessed men who kidnap a major CEO, convinced that she is an alien intent on destroying Earth. In theaters on October 31.
