Another note on the Season

[dewline]

Someone whose work I'd read regularly back in the late 1980's and early 1990's was Peter B. Gillis. Some of you may remember Strikeforce: Morituri. That was one of his when it started out, published through Marvel once upon a time.

He's still alive, it seems, and a while back, I stumbled across one of his short stories on his weblog.

It seemed to fit the Season, in a Twilight Zone way, and I still like it now.

So...for your reading pleasure now:

A Visit from Old Nick

Enjoy or don't, as the moment requires.

That is... pretty cool, actually.

Gillis... didn't he do a run on DOCTOR STRANGE?

Among other titles, yes, I believe so.

Interesting sidebar to point out there. Thanks for this.

When I was younger, I used to read Comics Buyer's Guide back in the days when it was a weekly publication in the not-quite-tabloid-OR-broadsheet format. One of their regular features was a column by Bob Ingersoll, entitled "The Law is a Ass" (http://www.worldfamouscomics.com/law/). He specialized in exactly those sorts of issues.

If Marvel ever revives Alpha Flight or DC ever sets up its Canadian characters - about a half-dozen second- and third-tier characters right now - with their own series, then we're going to need a column/weblog specializing in how Canadian law affects and is affected in turn in such contexts, if only to moderate the number of "Spot the Mistake" games readers end up playing.
