Street Angel

Street Angel was a hilarious little comic that lasted a handful of issues from SLG. I picked it up by chance from Mark One Comics in Hamilton NZ, I think it was the only SLG comic they were ordering at the time. An American comic by American creators artist/co-writer Jim Rugg and co-writer Brian Maruca I mention it here as the first issue was adapted into a student short film by Lucas Testro at the Australian Film and Radio School a few years back and it's now available to watch online here.
