Mad Hettie showed up in Sandman #3, I think. The John Constantine issue.
The Preview has her reading the intestines of a pigeon. Seers useed to use
goats or chickens, but I suppose pigeons work OK.

(Mild Spoilers)

She's more or less immortal because she has hidden her heart. Unfortunately,
she's forgotten where she has hidden it. She is interested in finding Death 
because she wants Death to help her find her heart so that she can hide it
again. 

The threat to Death comes from another source. I'm not telling.

Oh, Death talks about Disney films at least once.

(Spoilers over)

The art is done by Chris Bachalo with inking by Buckingham. The color is
Steve Oliff and the amazing Olioptics(?). Through different sources I've seen
the three phases of the art. The Bachalo pencils that I saw were great, but 
when I saw the Bucky inks, I thought he had used too heavy a hand in his
inking. Seeing the finished product, however, it really looks like the
coloring works with how it was inked. You do get some nice subtle shading
with the Oliff coloring.

Ever wonder just who some of the people who post who aren't from around here
are like? Well, here's a chance to find out as due to the holiday season
Paul Estin (UMichigan), Michael Rawdon (UWisconsin), and Bill Sherman (UCLA) are
in the Boston area and will be at an r.a.c. dinner this coming Monday, the 28th.

Details are:
Time: 7 p.m. Monday December 28th
Place: Crystal restaurant (chinese) on Mass Ave. in Central Square in
       Cambridge (across the street from the McDonalds), within walking
       distance of Tosci's for dessert.

I'd like to emphasize that all readers of r.a.c. are welcome; doesn't matter
whether you post a lot or lurk. I do request that you send me email if
you're planning on attending though, so I know how big a table to ask for
at the restaurant. I'll be out of town from soon after I post this through
Sunday night, so don't expect a response until Monday morning if one's
needed for some reason.

What Paleolithic Luddite still uses phones?  The communication media of
choice is e-mail!  In keeping with which I've set up 3 aliases at KPC
so we can conduct a proper vote on the matter:

moriarty-lives@kpc.com		If you want Moriarty to live
moriarty-dies@kpc.com		If you want Moriarity to die in a double-bagged
				hologram multiple-cover card-included
				collector's mini-series crossover Xtravaganza
moriarty-who@kpc.com		If you have no idea who Moriarty is and what
				all the fuss is about

If you wish to include a brief and witty plea, eulogy, or statement of
confusion (respectively) please feel free to do so.  In keeping with
net.tradition, Subject lines will be ignored.

When I return from my well-deserved vacation in a week or two I'll
tally and report the results, along with anything really funny from the
included text.  If one vote receives at least 100 more votes than the
others and at least 2/3 of all votes cast, Moriarty will be
created/destroyed/explained.  (Although being a criminal mastermind,
who knows if he'll cooperate?)

There's no need to thank me for providing this service to the net free
of charge; the havoc I create shall be my reward.

The owners and operators of my local comic book store don't see any new comics 
for Superman coming out for the next couple of months and probably longer.

They said the last time this happened, the comic was cancelled.  They have 
commented that DC may not be bringing back Superman at all.

Sad news for some and good news for others who want the dead to remain dead.

Don't make mine DC though.

	Does anyone know if there are any plans (or rumors about plans) to 
move any other current titles over to the Vertigo imprint in the future?  
I'm sort of perplexed as to why the new Spectre series is not going to be 
among the first Vertigo titles--  it seems like it would belong there. Could

Silly rabbit.  I'd have thought you could have figured out to not waste your
time and money on it after just *one* issue.  I did.

To me, the first issue had no feeling of being "part" of the Batman mythos;
admittedly, I've avoided the Robin mini-series like the Bat-plague, but I
would expect them to "feel" Batman-sh, which this did not.

I'm informed by someone who speaks to Craig Russell on occassion that the story
was not conceived as a Robin vehicle; rather, the Robin stuff was inserted
(yea, hammered!) into the story to sell it to DC as an Elseworlds book.  Maybe
it would have better without the Robin/Batman preconceptions people brought
to the work?

I wouldn't be quite so specific on it being the Hardy Boys. There's certainly
an element of Tom Swift in there as well, and there used to be a lot of
"boy's books" of the same format. See the 40s Warner Bros. cartoon with
the Dover Boys for another spoof of such.

Well, since they are going to have to add another hero to replace Supes in

Of course; I would probably feel the same with my stories and my 
creations.  Gaiman wants control of the characters.  He wouldn't 
necessarily feel any better if, say, Todd MacFarlane was writing a 
Sandman story and *didn't* contradict what Gaiman had done. The odds

In comics, I'd start with the complete Jim Twilley Grimjack series, and
follow that with the Graphic Novel set in Hell.  I'd like to see Alan Moore's
Batman as well.

In novels, I'd like to read Sheridan LaFanue's 'Carmilla's Return,' and the
'Return of Edmund Drood' by Dickens.  

And I'd really love to see what he has in poetry by Sappho.
