Getting back to our ocassional look at MSU's additions to the library, we turn to December 2009.
Hey! I bought this at an early SPX, back when they fit in one room.

ill. ; 26 cm. -- Began with no. 1 (Jan. 1995). -- Superhero
genre. -- LIBRARY HAS: no. 1. -- Call no.: PN6728.6.S609P7
I hope the Library isn't really worrying about whether their comics have UPC symbols or not...

different colors. -- Superhero genre. -- LIBRARY HAS: no.

...although I like "begging" for the last one, and "hangover" for the one above that. For those that are wondering, these clipped strips are filed in envelopes under that topic.
