Dan DiDio Does His Thing – The Daily LITG 11th June 2020
The world seems like a terrible and strange place sometimes, but fandom still brings us together. Or at least gives us someone to unite against. These are strange times, but The Daily LITG is becoming a valuable way to quantify just what comic book geek culture is up to in this time of trial. As comic book creator Tee Franklin really got under the skin of Stephen Amell, Dan DiDio took to the stage. Welcome all, to the daily Lying In The Gutters, a long-running run around the day before and the day ahead. You can sign up to receive it as an e-mail here.
