OK, dig out your copy of Lobo's Back #2.  Look at Lobo/Bimbo's left arm.
If you look carefully at the area around/above the elbow, you might
be able to make it out.  It may be rather abstract, so if you don't
see it right away, don't worry.  Keep looking.

Is it just me, or does this post sound rather depraved?

Hey.  I'm a big fan of Rick Veitch's BRAT PACK and MAXIMORTAL, and I was
wondering if his earlier series, THE ONE, is worth checking out.  I've seen
copies of all six issues at a couple of shops for cover price, so, I'm

I was looking through my collection.
Action Comics #468 was still National Periodical Publicatinos
Action Comics #469 was DC Comics, Inc.

So, according to the dates on the mags, it
would be between Feb 1977 and Mar 1977.
(But, you know that the date on the mags is never
quite correct.  So, figure whatever amount of time you

I was not pleased with the Golden Age TPB. I was going to buy it, nut
looked at it and thought that it looked really awful. I have the other
TPB's and they were okay, but these were just not up to snuff. I can
understand why Neil was not pleased. And to think, I have to go through
all of this just because I missed one issue of The Golden Age. Arrgh.

Why do I get the feeling Neil doen't think to much of Eclipse right now?

So that means that in issue 300, when Cerebus dies, Cerebus will die in
Cerebus' presence, thus meaning that Cerebus will resurrected. Now we
know what Dave Sim plans to do when he's done with issue 300: CEREBUS II:

I almost am beginning to believe that these guys must be hard up for
money. I know Alan Moore hasn't had much published lately and perhaps
Cerebus isn't paying the bills, but this is really strange.

The only thing I can think of is that this is some kind of shot at
Marvel and DC or something.

However, I think we can quite probably count out PAD doing an issue in
the near future. Call it a hunch.

Subject: REBEL YELL's latest gripe
Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder
Distribution: na
Date: Sat, 5 Sep 1992 04:55:33 GMT

I, Rebel Yell, decided to take a break from the rescue of the LNH to do my
self apointed duty.
The subject: The latest issue of NOMAD.

Gambit's doppleganger(see inf.war) guest stars as the villian.  Now it's never
mentioned that it is a doppleganger but if you read the prevews you knew it was

The Problem:  THe story is that Dark Gambit (DG) is in Las Angelas(?) because 
he got on the wrong plane.  He thaught the L.A. on the ticket ment Louisiana.
(Isn't Los Angelas airport abreviated LAX, New Orleans is MSY). When Nomad is 
told this he reponds with:

"Louisiana?  You mean where David Duke's from?"

My questian is why.  How many Louisianas are there?  Was Nomad not sure if they
ment the state or the country? More to the point Why not "You mean where (New 
Orleans, Baton Rouge, Mardi Gras, Captain Marvel, Cinder and Ashe, Cat and Mouse
, Ronald Mann, John Dell, Swamp Thing, or Rebel Yell) is from?

I want to know what Niceza's reason's for mentioning Duke is.  Other than the
La govenor's race from last year, and a very brief (and now quite defunct)
presidential bid, Duke has gone on to be nothing more than another white
supremecist yelling in the street (perferably being runover in the street).
Nomad, as a character, probably wouldn't have even heard of Duke. He doesn't
strike me as the type who keeps up on political races.  I wonder if Niceza is
making some comment about Louisiana being a breeding ground for nazis.

As a Southerner and a Jew (not to mention a human being) I am greatly offended
by his implication.

-----REBEL YELL aka SCAVENGER aka Todd Kogutt

P.S. With that possible implication in mind, it puts his depiction of La's 
policemen in the XMen/Ghost Rider story in quite a new frame of mind.

P.P.S. Didn't Niceza write that SuperPro story that really pissed off a large 
group of Native Americans.  Hmmmm.

The other thing I find so laughable is that value is almost always related
 to availability in collectibles of ANY kind. There are, what, a few *million*
 copies of Youngblood #1 running around, and a *huge* number of those are,
 apparently, bagged in mylar and stored in a cool, dry place. Meaning that
 in fifty years, there will *still* be a few million copies of Youngblood #1
 in the world. And after everyone begins to realize how bad Image's work
 is, basically (and it WILL happen-- just like it's hard to find anyone who
 was highly impressed by McFarlane's writing on SPIDERMAN, for example), those
 books will stop gaining value and pretty soon you'll be seeing them in
 50-cent racks all over America.

I posted the original message but didn't get many replies. It
was `Legion of the night' by the way. This was a pretty 
forgettable story with decent art. Whilce pencilled the best
story in X-Factor. I hope Punisher 6-11 gets reprinted just so
I can take a look at his earlier art.

I think McFarlane would fill them in on what his future

do whatever they wanted with that in mind.

The writers were never there. Does anybody know why all
the writers are doing an issue of Spawn rather than
some other title? I realise none of them would want to
do Youngblood.
