"HACK QUEST" (#218)
About The Cover
This month’s cover by the Fraim Brothers is a parody of the
classic animated tv series, Jonny
Quest. This was by personal request of Jolly Blackburn
himself. “Jonny was one of my favorite tv shows as a kid,” says, Jolly.
“I have fond memories of it coming on during primetime and being
riveted to it. The imagery, music and stories still move me to this
day.”
