Acme E-Mail Update #12: New Ways to Buy Backstock Sale

Last week Argentinian comic artist Carlos Meglia passed away.   Many  aspiring artists would come in over the years specifically looking for art by Carlos because of his almost anime style of work.  Some of his American work includes the Superman Infinite City original graphic novel, Peter David's Spyboy, Tarzan/ Superman from Dark Horse Comics, and more. Carlos Meglia was 50 years old.
