Alan Rankin Jul 1, 2021, 11:39 PM (5 days ago) to Buddy, me Hi Buddy and Steve, I hope you all are well. Here are my write-ups for June, including some titles from Ribage, Youthful, Trojan, Mad Magazine and Harvey Comics. As usual, I divided the write-ups into two batches, just to make the files more manageable. The first batch is below. The second batch, cover scans, and an invoice will follow shortly. As always, feel free to contact me if you have any questions, or if something doesnt show up. Take care of yourselves, and thanks as always.
