Yes Virginia, lightning does strike twice

So, back in the ‘80s I was something of a letterhack. I wrote a bunch of letters to numerous publications (both in, and outside of comics). Lately, not so much though. That recently changed when I had a letter published in Amazing Spider-Girl #20 (I mentioned that here).

Well, recently I had not one, but two (yes two) more letters published in Amazing Spider-Man #569 Well, the really cool part of this letter is that it nets me a personal reply from Spidey-Editor, Stephen Wacker.

Well, the up-shod of the whole event is that apparently I now have not only have to bring Wacker his coffee, but I apparently owe him lunch as well.

Ain’t life grand?
