- Radiskull & Devil Doll Kick It Some More
Pretty cool article! One correction... they start it with "More
than 10,000 viewers since 1999.." Actually, it is more than 10,000
LETTERS from fans (at the time. Now, over 50,000 letters received
by Joe Sparks as of May 2002). Millions of unique viewers have seen
Radiskull & Devil Doll by now. Radiskull can easily get 10k viewers
in a single day.

A long time ago, a great big story on the making of Spaceship Warlock
appeared in the 5th issue of New Media Magazine. Nearly 10 years later,
the Magazine has been replaced by NewMedia.com, and lucky for me,
I'm still popping up in the great NewMedia.
