Apollo Smile!!!1!1!1

The roughly mid-90's and earlier (generally pre-Toonami, pre-anime boom) era of anime & manga fandom: early cons, clubs, tape trading, Nth Generation VHS fansubs, old magazines & fanzines, fandubs, ancient merchandise, rec.arts.anime, and more!

Not a curse! Though it is just a list of cons finished with, "This wrecking ball is for you-" :D

Which Mister Kitty certainly agrees with, because that's what's up at Mister Kitty's Stupid Comics! So take a trip back in time and enjoy a thorough dissection of the amazing space adventures of Apollo Smile and her spaceship which is at one point controlled by dancing.

I actually have more respect for Apollo Smile now than I did back in the day; she was a professional dancer who knew how to entertain audiences, and I think she was just a little ahead of her time, to be honest. But these comics are terrible.

thanks for the updates, those old dot org Mister Kitty links are all over the internets and they're tough to find and replace sometimes.
