The dreams are a promise. Dream certainly has the ability to do that.

Whether or not Dickon Hawksthorne actually winds up on the business end of
a rope is a prediction. Given the activities of Hawksthorne and his present
circumstances, it's not a difficult prediction. 

However, Dickon's fate is not a given. He may be killed by business 
associate or someone he attempts to steal from. He may leave the area 
and wind up hanging from another tree. He may catch any of several common
diseases and die. He may leave England, become a priest and one day become
Pope. 

Dream is very specific about how Dickon's life ends. His nature suggests
this is not an idle "fortune." Unless you wish to content that Dickon's
dreams eventually drive him to turn himself in, I think we must take 
Dream's word that he is somehow reading Dickon's future.

Actually I love PAD's Wolverine.  I feel that PAD is one of the few writers

been seeing lately.)

 Ok, let's see if I can explain this correctly. 

I have spoken personally with Steve Oliff(nice guy, by the way) about how 
they color comics digitally at OlyOptics. This conversation took place nearly 
two years ago and I know how much technology has improved since then. I don't 
know if this has changed their way of doing things. Steve said that they work 
on a DOS-based platform with a $3,000+ software package that they use to 
trace 300 dpi scanned line art. They trace with a polygon tool and apply 
PostScript fills (solids or gradients) to the selection. The PostScript files 
are color separated to CMYK negatives for printing. I dont't know if the 
black line art is composited with the black neg from the computer. It has 
been my experience that a 300 dpi b/w linescan does not produce the crisp, 
clean lines that we see in the finished product. Therefore the black neg 
composite technique may be used.

It is my educated guess that Digital Chameleon uses Macintosh computers and 
Adobe PhotoShop to color their books. Their technique is to scan in the b/w 
line art at whatever resolution (depends on whether they do black plate 
composites mentioned above). Using the variety of tools in PhotoShop, they 
paint the comic. Files are saved in E.P.S. Desktop Separation formats and 
placed into Quark Xpress for separation output to an imagesetter.

When a colorist is given credit, it is more traditionally handled. The 
colorist takes stats (b/w photoprints) of the art and, using a color chart of 
available colors, hand colors it using Dr. Martin Watercolor Dyes or 
something similar. He/she *flat colors* the art; no gradient shades. The 
color chart shows the colors the computer can reliably reproduce and the mix 
of process colors in each number-coded swatch.(e.g. aqua block#11 = 95% cyan, 
10% magenta, 45% yellow, 0% black). The colorist then uses the chart to 
indicate to the COLOR SEPARATOR what he/she wants by number codes (sort of 
paint-by-number). The color separator then goes through the processes 
explained above (scanning, coloring, output negs...) using the colorist chart 
as a guide. The separator decides on the use of graduated fills or blends.

Whew! 

An earlier post asked about the image area of comic pages. It's 10x15 inches. 
Use 11x17 bristol with .5" margins left and right and .75" margin top and 
1.25" at bottom. You can draw out of the boarders if you want a full bleed 
page. I purchased some inexpensive original art (by Sal Buscema) and learned 
a lot about the technical aspects of drawing a comic page. It's also very 
inspiring to see the art at it's original size.

I don't know if this has been mentioned, or if it's just plain obvious,
but Tyburn tree is where a lot of criminals were hanged.  (Or, at least,
I'd guess so, from the number of English folk songs that mention the place.)

	I think that the standard exaplnation in the Mighty Marvel Universe is
that their costumes are made out of unstable molecules.  This, in addition to
mimicking the powers of the wearer, insulates them from the ravages of the
outside meteorological world.  (I remember in X-Men #219 talking about how
he would have been freezing his little mutie buns off if it weren't for his
insulted mutie super-suit.)
	Some folks (like Wonder Man, Human Torch, and Sub-Mariner to name a 
few) have extraneous circumstances that allow them to be a little better
sheilded from the cold, but in general it's probably the unstable molecules.
	Reed Richards is making a killing.

I think it depends on the Endless. Dream goes to the trouble of
dressing appropriately when humans are about. (He also casts a shadow
when he remembers to.) Delirium, Death, Despair (clothes?) and Destiny
are of course no help at all as they don't respect their surrounding.
Desire is sort of iffy. Not sure about Del in the transition years.

The Prodigal, however, seems to always dress for the occasion. I can't
recall an appearance where he isn't dressed for the period. So does his
fuzzy vest and sandals give us a definite time? Dunno. 

Perhaps this is a conundrum: Do Endless dress up when there is no one in
the forest.

Date: 10 Nov 92 00:05:05 GMT
Organization: Ageless Squids of the Poor

Well, it was a nice day, so I braved a crossing of the mighty Mississippi
to visit another Gopher library. 

So here are some odds and ends about the people on Del's list.

The Lawyer. I'm still lost here. There was a Peruvian sun deity called Capac.
That's as close as I could get. Of course, Bernie's dead so he wasn't a very
good immortal anyway. Anyone want to give me a pointer?

The Alderman. Leib-olmani translates into Alder man. Leib-olmani was a
Lapp bear-man or bear-god. He protected the bear, a holy animal, and 
provided good luck to hunters that honored him. If hunters did snub
Lieb, they would often lose their prey and occasionally Lieb might help 
a bear if it were to attack the hunters.

Lieb-olmani is a bit of a male chauvinist. Lapp women were not allowed
to walk around a tent where hunting equipment is kept. An exchange between
the Alderman and Del might be entertaining.

Etain of the Second Look. There is an Etain in Celt mythology. She is
somewhat analogous to Persephone in Greek mythology. She is said
to be a summer maid and a moon goddess, her name translating into shining 
one. The legends surrounding her are quite strange and inconsistent. 
One central character is Midir who is a bit like Hades/Pluto. If Etain
is hiding out she maybe have taken refuge in the underworld. (Or she
may be on the Isle of Man, protected by three anti-social cranes.)

The Dancing Lady. OK, Ishtar isn't as bad a name as I thought. She's the
main goddess in Assyrian/Babylonian mythology. (So why does Dream tell
Pharamond that he's the last of the pantheon?) Again her role seems
unclear. At least one legend has her involved in a seasonal cycle like
Etain. In one of her roles, she appears as a lustful goddess of sex and
war, often dressing in red. As Quadishtu, Babylonian for 'harlot', she
was patroness of the temple prostitutes. So we have a connection to the 
Prodigal and also her current career choice.

A note on Del's list. In Pharamond's office when Del returns with the
list, she says, "Here. I found it. I knew it would be in the last place
I looked for it, so I looked there first." This may be an echo of what Del
said in the prologue to Season, "I lost some time once. It's always in 
the last place you look for it." Interesting, but not very significant.

FWIW, Tyburn tree was an elm near the banks of the Thames. Supposedly
there's a section of London named after it.

It should be noted that the Kipling character in Doom Patrol (who appears
in basically every third storyline, I think) is basically a running
Constantine take-off. However, not even Johnny C., whom I think is the
end-all and be-all of mystics, has ever said anything as kick-ass as
Kipling's bitch to the Candlemaker in the current issue of Doom Patrol.
(Of course, Kipling never did that classic last panel at the end of the
