Blogiversary!

Sometime between 9 and 10 pm last night, I had my 50,000th visitor since I started this blog exactly one year ago today. That's pretty good timing. Thanks to Google Analytics for the free cool stats, but most importantly thanks to the comics blogosphere for coming back.

For my one year blog anniversary (my blogiversary), I'm giving away a free copy of Adventure 247, the original appearance of the Legion from 1958. See this post for the details. I am still figuring out the details but it should be by the end of the month.

You have to scroll all the way down to #121 for "Dude where's my pants", #192 for "Jessica Alba Nude", and #268 is "Tinya got her groove back". Everything else is a (relatively) normal search.
