The issue that wasn’t Coming. Bruce Timm Art Results are IN – #296

Original Comic Art Tips #295 – June, 5 2023

Welcome! This is probably the time It took me longer to send this newsletter since the beginning, but I was in Sicily for a convention for the entire week and was not really into staying at the hotel to write this…
Walked off a plane at lunch time and I’m sending this at 10 in the evening, more than two days late than the usual Friday night. Still this is a really great issue with many cool things to see!
