SPOTLIGHT ON LEN WEIN
I've known LEN WEIN for 41 years.  That's long enough.  The co-creator of Swamp Thing, Wolverine, The Human Target and many others has foolishly consented to what he thinks will be a friendly interview and what I see as my chance to finally nail him to the wall.  Come see the bloodshed.
