Digital-CAPtionS – “Kill the Revisionist!”

I’ve been reading Chad Lambert’s work for several years– both as a fan and as his letterer on both “Point Pleasant” and “Return to Point Pleasant” –which is why I was reluctant to write this review. Especially for the first installment of Digital-CAPtionS. I was afraid it would be construed as bias. I [...]
