I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed
the dream I dreamed.

From Les Miz could easily be turned into

I had a life this Dream would be
So different from this Hell he was given
So different now than what he seemed
Now Dream has killed the life I dreamed

(not to mention bat wings).  Whee!

You are wrong, no-life-breath! I specifically covered this above, as Michael
Collins is both writing and drawing Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt and our Michael
Collins says that's not him (although given that both are from England, this
is really getting strange.

However, perhaps it would work via symmetry for one writer/artist to be on
r.a.c. while the other is not. Thus we can assume that Ben would be on in
his writer persona, while Michael is not in the other Michael's artist
persona.

	I thought the scoop was that P. Craig Russell would be doing
the 50th issue, and Mignola would be doing the final Sandman arc (info
gleaned from a Mignola interview in Advance Comics.)

	BTW, when Gaiman was at the Cartoon Art Museum, he was talking
about the story he doing with Russell.  To get his creative juices
flowing, he put the issue in story form before going to full script.
Russell called for the script and when told Gaiman didn't have it yet,
basically said "Great!  Give me the story - I love adapting stories to
comics!"  Much hemming and hawing from Gaiman ensued, but he gave
Russell the first half of the story, looked over the resulting artwork
and was so pleased he let Russell do the whole issue just from the
story.  So whatever issue of Sandman Russell is doing will probably be
the only one not done from full script.

	(Gaiman also mentioned that he would love to get Michael
Dalton Allred to do an issue, but Karen Berger said no.)

After the end of the Demonicus Island thingie, she wound up in Australia, where

Well, considering Stark's attitude during the Galactic Storm mess, I'd say
that's pretty much right.  If (when) Tony (I got a .357 with your name on it)
Stark does come back, he'll probably be acting about the same as he did then.
He really needs to be taken out of the supertype business for awhile; I think
it's more stressful than the life of a millionaire  playboy. :)

Heck, why limit ourselves? Gustaf Durer, for any Endless story set back a

me of his sketches for some reason). Van Gogh for Delirium at Home.

Actually, the preview was held in Teen Titans #16.  It was just sort of
stuck in the middle of the issue and had no bearing on the Teen Titans at
all.

I really miss Capt. Carrot and the Zoo Crew.  I absoutely loved it and was
in a state of shock for quite a while when they cancelled it.  *sigh*
I was really interested in where they were going to go when they added
Little Cheese to the Zoo Crew line-up.  I think I am going to have to
go back and reread this great series and relive some old memories.  I wish
they would bring it back.

Ouch!

In the case that Malibu were to fold and Image was not picked up by
another publisher, it would be interesting to see where everybody goes.

I believe Jim Lee would be able to easily go back to Marvel as they left
on good terms. I don't know much about Larson's departure, so I don't
know if he'd go back to Marvel. If McFarlane went back he would be worse
off then if he hadn't left. I don't believe Marvel would want Liefield
back, since he had problems with the editors. The contracts would be
interesting.

Image does seem to be in the "first and only" issue business...

Here's something else to put in the annotation: That's an
anachronism. That scene (from issue #10, I believe) is the one
where Desire and Despair hatch their plan to embarass Dream by
maiking the Vortex a blood relative. They do this by having
Desire impregnate the (then sleeping) Vortex, Unity Kincaid. I
may be mistaken (I'll have to check issue #1), but I believe
Unity was impregnated *before* 1948, when _1984_ was written.
How, then, would Desire know to say "Big Brother, I'm watching
you"?

Another interesting note: If she really *was* watching her
brother, she could see that he was imprisoned in the crystal
sphere. Did she have something to do with that? She could have
made Burgess desire eternal life so greatly that he'd keep Dream
imprisoned, just on the off chance Dream could get it for him.
In any event, she could easily have freed him (but of course she
wouldn't).

Summary: graduate student looking for information on early Supes history
Keywords: DC, Superman
Date: 13 Oct 92 14:15:58 GMT
Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J.

I am currently working on a paper involvong comics and literary criticism, and
I need some information on the early history of Superman. I know that the 
knowledge contained in this group is vast, so I thought I would ask for the
assistance of anybody who can answer any of my 3 (and a half) questions.

The premise of my paper is that the three versions of Superman thus far 
(Gold, Silver, Byrne [bronze]) are cultural relics which were influenced by
and influenced the period that they arose from. For instance, the Golden Age
Superman appeared in 1938 as the first hero who was more than human. Until 
then, heroes were normal men who went out and disguised themselves to fight
injustice (like the Spider) or were ordinary men placed into extraordinary
circumstances (like Flash Gordon or Buck Rogers). Superman was an answer to
the continuing Depression that ordinary men, no matter the costume or the 
circumstances, could not combat. So, I have three questions:

1) What actually happens in Action 1, and where can I find a reprint of that
story?
2) When was it clear that the Silver Age Superman was not the same character 
as the Golden Age? I know that this is a little ambiguous, but at some point,
there had to be a marked difference. Was it the first JLA-JSA crossover?
Perhaps another way to ask this is, what is the understood first appearance of
SA Superman? 
3) When was Suprman's origin first told? The early stories had about a page
of synopsis, but the Jor-el wasn't introduced until sometime in the late 40s. 

If you can, answer two and three with issue numbers and dates, please.

Finally, my half question. There was some discussion of having access to DC
via e-mail. Is this true? What is the address for them? (I need to to talk to
them about such things as sales figures and the like)

Thanks very much in advance. And to save space on the bulletin board, please
respond via e-mail to me at fperry@gandalf.rutgers.edu. Unless , of course, 
you think that your answer to one of my question will have universal appeal.

The Watchmen tribute starts on the cover (check the

we see Lex picketting MyxCorp(?) with a sign (ala

sitting at home, eating a can of Heinz beans, and
someone breaks into his place and throws him out
the window in perfect mimicry of the art, panel

I think there were a few other tributes, but I
