Wow! Where were you in 1977 when they were looking for culturally significant messages to send up on the Voyager? What a thing of beauty 🥲

Any chance of Dartor stand-alone spin-off??? Dartor vs. Ciggy Stardust and the spider-Monkees from Mars

Hi Chip,

I appreciate that you MUST even though it means revealing spoilers for BATMAN and Mike Hawthorne's awesome new Bat suit. Thank you for the sharing I CAN'T, BUT I MUST writing secret a.k.a. DAMMIT! (I immediately thought of your excellent example of Matt Murdock's "Dammit, I can't but I must" towards the end of Daredevil 7.)

Hope you are well despite having to spoil Batman.

I'm gonna miss Dartor too...more than anyone can know. Thank you again for sharing this. I read it to my wife and she agrees you are the best writer out there.
