Uh well-a-hell-a-hella BSBdG's go out to, up there in rock and roll heaven, the great
Buddy Holly
, who would have been 67 today if not for that ill-fated plane trip.
Rave on.

AND NOW, FOR YOUR EDIFICATION: THE JBS COMICS GRADING SYSTEM!
A+:
The cream of the crop. The tip of the top. The exception rather than the rule.
A/A-:
Solid, outstanding, excellent. Well worth your time and money. A- slightly less so.
B+/B/B-:
Very good, but not as good as the A book; missing a certain something somewhere in script or art- enjoyable, but not excessively so.
C+/C/C-:
Titles that are thoroughly average in every way. Lackluster art and/or poor script, but still somewhat readable.
D+/D/D-:
Brainless, heartless, soulless, pointless.
F:
No God. NO GOD!
