Comment:	Great work, and thanks to all concerned. It is perhaps ironic that in a forum dedicated to preserving old comics, the first story includes burning old nitrate movie film as a plot element. As I was reading, I couldn't stop wondering what movies they made have been burning!

Comment:	A great addition Len! Thanks. --- Movies to burn. I'd suggest "Transylvania 6-5000" and "Three Amigos". But that's just me.
