I had this thought, too. Funny how low-key and unassuming the mighty leviathan types can be sometimes. But if you know you're a mighty...
I'm sure we know some of the same people. The first shows I did were NCNA shows in Raleigh around the millennium. I lived much of my former...

Wow. Just... wow. 'Twas the Nero that leapt off the monitor at me the most - so glossy and gorgeous! - but that Vitellius beneath it grabbed my...
Wow, the details are so clear on that one. I am not accustomed to looking at these and actually seeing a face and human features on the horseman...
