Thank you for the perspective. My father died from cancer as well so I certainly understand how grief and nostalgia can flow together. I’ll have to read again with that in mind. He raised me on noir and certainly helped inform my abiding love for your work!

Hey Ed! The Last of the Innocent was an amazing riff on Archie comics. Where did that idea come from and/or are there any other properties you’d like to give the same twist?
