  The choice is theirs, as ever it must be."

  Remember remember the 5th of November,
  The gunpowder treason and plot,
  I know of no reason
  Why gunpowder treason
  Should ever be forgot.

  Il fumetto, in generale, non è proprio il mio linguaggio. Non sollecita l'immaginazione come un libro e non è immediato come un film.
