Hi!

I got this friend of mine doing her LL.M. in Washington D.C. and I thought
that she could bring me a huge bunch of comics. BUT she can't find a decent
comics shop over there. Surely there's one in Washington? Could you please
help me out and recommend a shop or two in Washington with widest possible
range of comics from mainstream to independents, from comic books to 
graphic novels or just a place with very inexpensive comics. If you got
adresses to these shops even better.

Mx 1 and Mx 3 cannot both be lying.  So one of them must be telling the 
truth.  Since there are two liars, Mx 2 must be lying.  Lever 2 is safe.

Heck, Desire's never balked at interference before...  Remember, though,
at the end of Part I she's trying to convince Despair to help her stop
Delirium from going to find the prodigal.  Why it's so imperative that
no one finds him, though, is still maddeningly unclear.

I really like the interpretation of Delirium that we're seeing in Brief
Lives, both in terms of rendering and character.  I had to stifle
giggles at the "Is there a word for...?" questions.  That and the "She's
creating small frogs."

>I wonder whether we'll see that little girl again.  She has a good head

The little girl almost frighteningly reminds me of Raina, the very
spiritually-aware little girl at the end of DeMatteis' Dr. Fate (before
the subsequent massacre by Messner-Loebs -- grrrr).  I got an almost
eerie feeling when her mother asked her what Dream was talking to her
about, and she said matter-of-factly, "True things."

Think we'll ever find out about Pharamond (does this have any
significance?  Doesn't sound like any Babylonian gods that I can think
of).  All that we know is that Dream saved his life once...

Anyone notice the Cats poster on the fence that the fifteen-thousand
year-old guy was walking by?  A subtle plug for the Endless poster,
perhaps?

Now that there is actually an advaning plot, I can live with most
of the writing.  For exmple, the team of InvisiDee and InvisiDum
was well done.  And I could actually see hints of Jacques hero worship
of the original Invisible Kid later on.  It's nice to see that SOMEONE
told the teen legion that Jacques wea a Legionnaire.

But the artwork still leaves me completely cold.

If a dream vortex attracts dreams, do friends of destruction somehow
cause the odd collapsing wall and exploding building?  Remember, Bernie
said something like "Again!" after the wall fell on him, and Etain thought
something along the lines of "That was close." after her apartment
blew up at her.  Sounds like they were accustomed to that sort of thing.

	For a list of post-Crisis powers, see _Who's Who #1_ (Aug. 1990).  It
has it, along with some other stuff on him.

	As for a revival, I've been thinking (I know, that's dangerous, but...)
lately.  I'm wondering if there mightn't be some retreat (gasp! ;) from 
Crisis here.  If y'all remember, in the last issue of Crisis, Kal-L and 
Superboy from Earth-Prime ended up on an "Earth" inside Alex Luthor (I'm kinda
fuzzy here - it's been a while).  I wonder if DC mightn't resurrect either 
or both of these 2 incarnations as a replacement...

	Either that or it's all Lois Lane's bad dream like in "Dallas".  ;)

Yeah.  Right.  Starman's dead.  Uh-huh.  Guess he's chattin' with
those other famous dead people, like Magneto, right now.

In other words, Starman #35 CAN occur after Eclipso: The Darkness
Within.  And this solution won't, I'm sure, ruin any of DC's
plans for the characters involved (i.e. Valor and Starman).

Is posting follow-ups to your own posts a sure sign that you're spending too
much time on the network?

To answer my own question, Yes even Stanley and his Monster will be observing
the new order in Hell left over from Season of Mists. 

(Small spoilers follow.)

In the b&w preview of Stanley that DC has sent out, the story starts with the
angels taking inventory in Hell. ("Hell [tm] the worst place you can imagine.
Now under new management which means it can only get worse." Loosely para-
phrased.) Yes, one of the angels speaks with an empty word balloon. They note
that one of the pit demons is still missing from the previous management.

Stanley is scheduled for release in December. (December 15th shipping date, to
be exact.) It looks like Foglio has gone out of his way to fit as many small 
jokes into the background as is possible. Mrs. Murphy's Fried Stoats?

I believe this will be a four part miniseries.

Other works of his include:

Bad Company (Fleetway, originally in 2000AD)
Animal Man (between Morrison and Veitch)
Skreemer (6-issue DC ltd series)
probably loads of other stuff for 2000AD
and, most recently, Skin, a one-off from Tundra UK.
He's also scheduled to write 'Enigma' for the new Vertigo line in 1993.

Those are the ones I can think of right now.  I should add that I think he
certainly deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as the 3 you mention above
, I've certainly been very impressed with what I've read. He seems to aim for
more weird, 'alternative' stories (from the designer violence of Skreemer to
the psychedelia of Shade to the grimey social realsim of Skin), and has a
very good grasp on characterisation (possibly better than the 3 you mention).
Shade is definitely worth a look, as is Skreemer for the not-so-faint-hearted
and Skin (for those with a strong stomach).

While I'm on the subject, has anyone else out there read Skin? Has it reached
the US yet? If so what are people's reactions to it? I personally found it a
very moving story, probably one of the most true-to-life 'comics' I have 
ever read. But then, maybe that's because I grew up in London in the 70s and
so I have a feel for what he's writing about. Anyway, I'm interested in what
other people think, because I think this is one of the best comics (or GNs or 
whatever) of 1992.

Dave McKean does the Sandman covers.  You're right; his artwork,
especially the combo of painting /photography is terrific.
Unfortunately, the artwork inside the book rarely measures up.

Other projects McKean has done are Arkham Asylum with Grant Morrison,
Violent Cases with Gaiman, and he is also drawing and scripting Cages 
for Tundra.  He also did one issue of Hellblazer.  You might want to 
look for them in the back issue bins next time you visit your comics
store.

I'd be amused to see a little girl's tea party between Delirium and the

Don't you mean T-shirts? There's the Dream shirt (in Gaiman approved black)
and there's the Death and Dream shirt in grayish white. You can still find
the Dream shirt, but the D&D shirt seems to have been limited to a single
release. 

Let's see, time for a Sandshit [tm] checklist:

1. T-shirt, Dream (Jones art)
2. T-shirt, Dream and Death (Dringenberg art?)
3. Sandman statue
4. Death watch
5. Dream and Death poster (Jones art)
6. Endless and Cats poster (Dringenberg art)
7. Assorted Sandman collections [4 books, with two versions of Season of Mists)
8. Decorative slip cover for first three books
9. Sandman Sunglasses (as worn by Neil Gaiman, very rare)

I'd say if you bought 6 or more of these, you can consider yourself a 
drooling sandboy. (Yes, I have six.)
