Ultimately

5 out of 10 is really good. Ultimately, five out of ten is REALLY good.   I was pleasantly surprised to find this submission of mine, in which grades, that is, 2 - 9.4s, 3 - 9.6s, and 5 - 9.8s, is.. really good, I think. !Sheesh!

That was 84.   By far, this was my favorite Judge Dredd cover no word ballons, has a black cover, no Judge Dredd, him

Those are HUGE BITES!)   (I probably would have heard 'Error' instead of 'working' - computer NCC-1701).   So, THANK YOU, thank you, thank you.

...into The Best of Two Worlds. THIS IS A SIMPLE SHARE:   One evening in Berkeley long ago, I walked the tunnel to the inner sanctuum of The Best of Two Worlds.   Rory was working that night; I said something like "Hey. What's Up?", or "How's it goin'?", and it wasn't long before I saw this SPACED #1 up on the wall. I immediately said, "Can I look at that...?", knowing full well that I would buy it, and I did.
