Holly Stewart was the fangirl. Holly watched Doctor Who and Battlestar Galactica and went to conventions in costume. Gail allowed herself to be dragged along, because people were stupid and sucked, and Gail just liked to laugh at them on reality TV; no one would call her a fan of the nerdy things, not even Holly who knew her best. But those complete collections of Hellblazer and Shade The Changing Man, boxed and bagged carefully in their office, belonged to Gail Peck, who loved those classic, dark and twisty, comic books set in worlds where her humor was perfectly normal.
