Ssalefish GSO First Look #249 for 2.9.21

Joe A Real American Hero #21 Newsstand Edition groundbreaking Snake Eyes silent issue!
If you were in the shop earlier this week (Monday, Tuesday, before lunchtime on Wednesday) you might have noticed things were looking a little dimmer than normal with a bank of our overhead lights out. Contrary to popular belief, we were not invoking a coffee shop ambiance (though we didn’t hate it), the lights were just the next thing to show their age as we roll towards our 5th anniversary this spring. Fortunately, my dad is best and can figure anything out, going straight from buying me breakfast at Waffle House to spending four hours getting to the bottom of our little problem!
Now we’re shining bright!
