Dr. Feel Nothing

Strange days indeed
great window, grim Mordo
more characteristic window, more grim Mordo
clamp got your tongue?
Ditko gropes for the psychology
the moment of Ditkonian decision

the conspirators
"I'm a good girl"
the sorority
a bright idea
manufacturing a third wheel
weirdest boss ever
precarious conviviality
