From JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #197
Dear Len and Ted,

I just finished reading issue #192 of Justice League of America. Stunning. This month's tale was the best of all my DCs I picked up. Centering around one member of the group (Red Tornado) and at the same time involving the other heroes was an excellent idea. Even though there were 25 pages, I thought that my reading ended too soon.

Red Tornado has fast become one of my favorite heroes. It is about time that he starts acting like the hero I know he can be.

As for the art, what can I say? Welcome back, George. Your pencils have been missed (although Buckler did a very admirable job in your absence.) besides being my favorite artist, you draw the best Red Tornado this side of the border (and the other side, too!)

From Todd McFarlane ("Spawning Ground" via SPAWN 101)
I would like to give a big thank you to George Perez for coming onboard and doing a special cover for issue #101. What makes his participation of special note is if you go back to the beginning, George did a pin-up at the end of my story in the first issue of Spawn back in 1992. So I thought it was apropos that he join us on issue #1 and is now back to lend his artistic talents to issue #101. I'll make sure I lasso him into giving us yet another piece when we get to issue #201 in another eight years. Again, a hearty thanks to George for being around and hanging tough between assignments. I wish him the best of luck.
