When I’m not updating the Crawlspace, my other job is working for a local NBC affiliate as a reporter. I have a nightly segment called “Brad’s Beat” and today I did a story about comic books. The man I interviewed has a large collection of Native American comics on display at our local library.So check it out.
I worked in a Spidey reference in the opening line. Also thanks to Michael Bailey for helping me find the cover to the Superman issue in the story. I texted him and he came through in a pinch!
