This "Cobalt Blue" #comicbook is actually a flipbook with "Justice Machine" issue 5 on the other side. In 1985, Siembieda wrote a Justice Machine supplement for #HeroesUnlimited.

The connections between #PalladiumBooks and Noble Comics are a forgotten footnote in #TTRPG history that only locals like me remember.

I bought that #HeroesUnlimited book at The Comic Gallery, one of four #comicbook stores owned by Gary Reed in the 1980s. Gary apparently worked on one #PalladiumBooks #RobotechRPG product, too.

Gary also hosted an #AMradio show about #comicbooks with one of his store managers, Chester Jacques. (My brother and I listened to the show every week!) Chester also did some work for #PalladiumBooks , believe it or not. All these guys around Detroit knew each other!

Gary and Chet went on to found Caliber Comics, best known for being the original publisher of James O'Barr's #TheCrow

My wife (who is 10 years younger), on the other hand, never stops telling me that #TheCrow soundtrack changed her life. (Like, seriously, I think it turned her #Goth for a decade.) If she was in the room with me now, she would be telling that story again, just because I've mentioned The Crow.
