DC Comics. Cover C. Card stock variant.

“The Nolan” is the name for “highly sought-after, exotic” lizard-skin cowboy boots … You can’t make this stuff up.

A reporter friend of mine passed this along. Life is so weird.

The Internet tells me that “The Nolan is a highly sought-after exotic boot known for its unique scale pattern, natural sheen, and supple feel.” They’re handmade in Mexico. Uh … thanks, Tecovas.

Hey, man, I’ll take it. (Coulda been urinal cakes or something.) Maybe they’ll pay me to be their spokesman.
