Granted, the Lower Feldan *language* maps onto French, but I'm not sure the
geography does.  Mind you, I'm posting this at work without access to the
map, so I'm somewhat talking thru my hat here :-)

That should be "The Trickster".  He was great as the voice of the Joker on

Subject: Re: Marvel bashing

Well, I knew Chris would come up with a valid defense of his theories on
Marvel comics as a whole.  Indeed, I feel much  the same  about the fucking
tripe such as Iron Man (die you fucking playboy bastard, and I'll keep writing
this after I type Iron Man until he is fucking gone), Captain Amerikka (only
two K's, Cap's trying not to be obvious), Bloodaxe the Executioner, the
Infinity War, the Infinity Gauntlet, and now the INFINITY CRUSADE????
But the company, and those who work for it should not be harmed.
However, Stan Lee, Jim Shooter, Bob Harras, and most of all Tom DeFalco should
be gathered together and flogged lifeless until they're nothing but bare
skeletons, ground into the earth by a nuclear explosion, urinated on  by
seventy  five  sterno drinkers, and have the soil fucked by two hundred bulls
on LSD!

But despite the fact that I fucking hate De Falco, Harras, and all their ass
licking  boys who turn Wonder Man into the Herb Trimpe Hulk and make Hercules
a major character in the Avengers again when perfectly good characters such as
Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeu), She Hulk, Beta Ray Bill, and the Wasp are
dragged off by the wayside and forgotten as integral members of a team I other
wise used to respect, especially when Cap had a personality, and Tony Stark
(die you fucking playboy bastard) wasn't cheating deadly illnesses every
fucking month, it will not keep me, nor ever stop me from picking up the
series that I enjoy.  So what if a few pennies from my purchases of Daredevil,
TASM, Hulk or X-Factor (the only four titles I regularly collect now that
DeFalco realized that he couldn't complete a storyline to save his soul,
and despite the fact that he writes better than Bill Mantlo, is beating a horse
to death that I only started reading seven issues ago after a drop when
Engleheart and Butler left the book, never liked that much either) go to feed
current travesties of what I used to believe in?  I care?  Not really, because
I know I'm placing four votes for stuff I like, than not even voting and
instead of justing reading good stuff in a comic book in a store, rather than
owning it (I'm not a collector, I'm just a good re-reader).

So I do hate Marvel's editorial policies.  I just don't extend that hatred
to certain books.

Nuff sed.  Flame wars begin now.  I await thee.

There is currently an adaptation of the movie (Now or Innovation?, one of
those)  and another movie on the way.  The Quality heroes I'm sure DC is still
holding onto include Plastic Man, the Ray, Uncle Sam, and the Black Condor, 
and I think Phantom Lady (how long ago was Action Weekly?), but her I'm not
sure of.  They own Manhunter, but he bears no resemblance to the original.
Doesn't even have a dog.  Although the Secret Origins issue where they put all
of them together is a real treasure, and proof of the existence and power
of the Ring of the Retcon.  It's been a very long time since we've seen the
Doll Man or the Human Bomb, but I don't know whether they've lost the 
copyright.  I think the recent appearance of the Ray and the Black Condor
must mean that these particular properties were up for renewal, but it doesn't
necessarily mean they dropped Doll Man.  I would assume that DC would put up
a fuss if they had held on to the Doll Man, but I don't know that to be the 
case.  It can't be selling that well.  I'm sure you don't care about the other
Quality guys & dolls, but I'm an addict, I pick up every Police issue I can,
I'd pay crazy prices for Crack Comics as well, if I could *find* any of them.
Doll Man had his own comic throughout the 40's into the early 50's and started
out in Feature Comics in 1939.  His first appearance was written and drawn
by Will Eisner and sells for about $1000, but subsequent stories were by Lou
Fine, another famous comics artist.

As to the idea that we should carve up RAC* even more:

WHY?  The only reason I've heard to do that is 'cause some people don't want
to read about Marvel or Image or this or that.  
That's why most news readers have a kill command and kill files. I'm sick of 
the Death of Superman posts, *i mean nothing new has been added in the past
week, but I don't think we should institute r.a.c.death.of.superman

Why don't we split down publisher lines? Because of cross-posting making the
whole thing moot.  Say we want to talk about the moral values expressed in
PAD's work?  We'd have to x-post it to rac.Xbooks (for X-Factor), rac.marvel
(for Hulk and SP.MAN2099), rac.dc (for Atlan.Cron., Aquaman, and Blasters)
and rac.DarkHorse (for Creepy). As well as for inter-company cross-overs.

Why not super-heroes/not superheroes?  Where do you put discussions about 
Watchmen? Or anything in the Vertigo line?

We already have xbooks. Why not every other sub-universe? We could do:
rac.NewTitans
rac.Lsh
rac.JLA/E/I/O/U
rac.BigGuns
rac.MidnightSons
rac.Spiderman
rac.DarkKnight
rac.ManofSteel
rac.2099futureverse

It gets ridiculous.  

We haven't even started with the new configuration yet(w/out r.a.c.)
Let's see how it does for a month or two and then see about changing it.

The best of the LODTK stories was "Gothic" by Grant Morrison and Klaus
Janson. The best of chilling Batman story in a while. It ran from issues
6-10.

Also memorable was "Prey" which ran through issues 11-15. My apologies,
but I can't say who wrote it for certain. Blades was quite good also. As
a matter of fact, most of the LOTDK stories are quite good. It is easily
the best of the monthly Bat titles right now.

No, not really.

I'm in too much shock to be scared.

Wow.  I'm really impressed by this.  And suprised.  I've become so used to 
the idea of Image being a "Lowest Common Denominator" type of company 
inhabited by a bunch of talentless, egotistical hacks that this 
announcement really surprises me - particularily the inclusion of Moore, 
who has been quoted as saying that Watchmen was his "last word" on 
superheroes.  (Then again, as evidenced by BRAT PACK and MAXIMORTAL, any 
book in which Vietch is involved will be FAR from a typical superhero 
comic!)

And there's the fact that all three of these creators have their own 
imprints (Mad Love, King Hell and SpiderBaby) which were *all* affiliated 
with Tundra.  Perhaps Image is going to take up the "creator owned" 
gauntlet that Tundra has fumbled (I've been hearing some pretty nasty 
things about Tundra lately).

Whatever the situation behind this, I have no doubt that these three will 
produce something incredible.  I'm quite looking forward to it.

As a fan of Masamune Shirow, are you ever in for a treat!  The name of
the book is 'Intron Depot 1' and it is a collection of his color
artwork from 1981-1991.  It has 226 illustrations, 193 in full color,
148 pages, and measures 210 x 285mm.  The book, although produced and
printed in Japan, has the notes both in japanese and english.  The
artwork is a real knockout, and you are treated to the history of some 
of the pics as well as how he produced it. 

How much is it? Prices vary...It goes for 2400 yen if you can find someone 
in Japan to get it for you, 30.66 from Books Kinokinuya, 35.00 from
Nikaku Animart in San Jose (they do mail order), and I understand Dark
Horse Comics will be distributing also, I am not sure on the price though.

Bret Halford who usually posts in rec.arts.anime, lives in Japan and has also
offered to get the book for those who want it. I believe his price is $28
plus $2 shipping and he has delivered.

If you are a Shirow fanatic, California's the place to be...I have not only
gotten Intron Depot, but also Ghost in the Shell, and Comic Relief in
Berkeley carries both the Viz translations and Japanese editions of Appleseed.

While this may be true, G'nort's ring (at that time) was not of

Well, in the intro to the Megaton Man TPB, Valentino points out that while his 
normalman series was more of a gentle poke at the industry, Simpson's Megaton 
Man was a whole-hearted attack on it, intent on destruction.  What I find 
antithstical about it is how someone so dedicated to bringing down the Babylon 
that is modern comics would ally himself with Image, a company that epitomizes 
the worst side of the industry.
     Do you have documentation that Drek is Simpson?  I know the styles are 
remarkably similar, but I've seen enough differences that it could be that one 
learned from the other.  I would appreciate yea/nay confirmation on whether 
Drek is Simpson.

(No spoilers enclosed...)

I was pretty psyched yesterday to see that my comic shop already
had this week's new titles...Guy Gardner #1 exceeded my expectations
in that it wasn't *all* mindless violence.  Quite comical, and 
shows lots of promise.  The letter column (Guy Talk) features, at
least this month, letters answered by "Guy himself"....BTW (I'm thinking
about sending in a letter about this--maybe I'll get a Baldy) did 
anyone else notice in the heading for "Guy Talk" that Guy has two
right feet?

Also picked up (and read) Lobo's Back #3--sucks.  This story is really
going nowhere and if I didn't have #1-3, I'd stay away from the forthcoming
#4.   

Finally saw a copy of Sam and Max:  Freelance Police, The Color Collection
so I picked that up as well.  All I can say at this point is BWAHHHHHHHHH-
HAH-HAH-HAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Thanks to everyone who drummed this up

It was the "Trickster", not the Jester....

Also the pilot was released on LD as a Japanese disc before the recent
release here. Chances are the Trickster episodes will get an American
release too. Also a review I read in Laser Disc Newsletter says the
American release of the pilot was cleaner, with better color than the
Japanese pressing. I would wait before trying to get the Trickster

>Where did Bisley draw this penis?  (e-mail or post, your choice)

He drew it on Bimbo's left arm (the big one)

On the side of your head. :)

That doesn't really matter -- the Image titles are generally $1.95 each
and DC has plenty of books that cost nearly that much or more.  The fact
that Image can bring in more cash with four or five titles than DC can
with several dozen should give you an idea of just how many books Image is
moving.
