The Secret Lair
Now is this guy the titular “Green Mask”, or just another guy from the comic, because he doesn’t appear to be wearing any green at all…
@Gero: Maybe the mask is green on the front?

They have a guy who writes, a guy who draws, and another guy who inks, and can’t do 20 pages a month, but Japanese mangaka do it all themselves (i.e. one guy does both the writing and the drawing, and any color pages that issue may have), and churn out 20 pages a WEEK…
