Poe’s Point > A little perspective for DCUC collectors
Where is everyone? Two new posts since Friday and not a word of comment.

Old school haulage and a rare Poe custom
I’m on a little mini-vacation right now, using up my vacation days at work before they expire on July 1. I took yesterday off, as well as the first two days of next week. So rather than do anything even mildly constructive yesterday, I headed off to a local comic shop, Comicazi. Comicazi has two [...]
