Your thoughts are appreciated and inspire me to want to do more writing to augment the artwork. I would post responses directly on the library page, but unfortunately I forgot all my login info.

I've not seen either of these movies, so I can't vouch that they actually contain what they advertise, but I'm always intrigued that they even went down this road back then, even if it was just for a lobby card promo.
