The names in french are:
Title "Tintin"
Main character - Tintin
Dog - Milou
Captain - Haddock
Detectives - Dupond & Dupont (I don't know which has the curly mustach and
             which has the straight one, used to though)
Professor - Tryphon Tournesol (Tournesol = Sunflower{in french})



Also missing in the list are the two (photograph) books made from the
the two live movies of Tintin (I don't know any english title)

Tintin et la toison d'or (All about Haddock's boat, or something of the sort)
Tintin et les oranges bleues (The professor creates blue oranges that can 
                              grow in the desert, or something of the sort) 

The first one only had Tintin, Haddock, and Milou while the other one
had the Detectives and the Professor also. I don't know where they
fit in the sequence of the books though.

BTY, where any of these two films translated into other languages?
Just curious.

Hey, finally a posting about GR, well, actually, the 2nd I've seen tonight.

The book may be taking bold new directions, but just give me a couple of
issues to warm up to the new penciller (his name excapes me at the moment,
but he did do work on an X-Book).  I will say that GR does seem to have a
better and more independent personality (and diologue) since the "death"
and "rebirth" of Dan.  Can't think of too much else to say at the moment,
other than Spirits of Vengence is the only "Rise of the Midnight Sons"
spinoff that I will continue to read.  When I have something new to add about
flame-brain, I'll be back :^).

Depends on where you get your comics.  They're supposed to leave the
major distributors on Tuesdays, arrive at some stores/local
distributors on Wednesday or Thursday, and in nearly all stores by
Friday.  (I get mine on Thursday.)  CBG, when they were running
"Comics in your Future" used to publish shipping dates -- they were
Tuesdays.

Given that, supposedly, D.C. hasn't decided how they're bringing Supes
back, any idea is fair game...

Okay, so Supes is dead.  They give him a Viking funeral, sending the
burning body (with his brain dead, the force field is off) off into the
sea.  The dead body, fire, and water combine, and he rises again,as the

That STILL leaves the Guardians of the Galaxy Phoenix whose timeline  has
stated to have diverged between Dark Phoenix and Rachel Phoenix. {This is
NOT a What If story but a CONTINUING story line so the problem STILL
remains}
Also the point of the first article {which I have rewrote and reposted}
was that the writers at Marvel do not have clear idea on the nature of
their multiverse and so make mistakes telling the difference between
Earths whose history is different{What If..., Earth 597} and Earths 
whose physical or temperal laws are too different to be simply be alternate
timelines {Kylun's Earth(148), Earth of Excalibur #16-17(Nightcrawler 
warlord of ? saga), and Otherworld itself}
A key problem with the way the 'Crosstime' caper was handled was in the fact
NONE of the Captain Britians are duplicated; they are all different. (By 
duplicated I mean more than one Captain Britian, Hauptmann Englande, Brit-Man, 
etc) If different timelines were involved, then, even with the nexi controling
the number of timelines, some if not all would be duplicated and the number 
of members would increase geometrically over time. {THIS is what I was pointing
out NOT a rehash of the Phoenix and Multiverse thread I did several weeks ago.}

Hopes this directs the thread on to the proper path{I am going to have to
more blunt about the purpose of my articles to avoid this in the future. 
How's 'There seems to be confusion about the nature of Marvel's Multiverse and 
the beings that inhabit it amoung the writers at Marvel.' sound for a
begining sentance?}

no idea what he was doing.  (sucker)?

Does everyone have a short memory?

Am I the only one who remembers 'A Death in the Family'?

There were a LOT fewer Batman 428's printed than Superman 75.  You could
unload those for about $20 a shot within the first month or so of release, and
then it started to taper off.  Now try selling one.

Nope.

Splits of newsgroups are only partly for the convenience of people interested in
that topic.  They are *at least* as much for the convenience of people *not*
interested in it.

This is a prime example.  r.a.c.x. was largely created for the benefit of those
of us who wanted to be free of the 30%-or-so of traffic which was Xbook-related,
as well as of the "X-books-are-great/X-books-suck" debates.  It was *not*
created mainly for the convenience of X-fans.  *Of course* we're disturbed when
people post X-stuff here.

Are you new to the net?  .misc groups are *not* for "ANY kind of discussion" --
they are for the things that *don't* have their own groups.  That is why groups
split.

Please learn a little about USENET before running off at the keyboard.

Not so anyone associated with the field would agree.  It is fan-fic, and fan-fic

I have vague memories of

NIGHTCRAWLER miniseries (c.1980).  This was supposed to be the FIRST
	limited series from Marvel, and would inviestigate his
	mysterious past.  The tie in with the X-Men is Kurt's first
	encounter with Mystique: when Kurt comments on their physical
	similarity, she hints that there is a link between them through
	his mother...  In the end they shelved the idea, leaving this as

At the end of Morbius: The Living Vampire #5 there was something to the 
effect of "The Steel-Man is dead?" and then Morbius states that he will makes
those responsible pay.  This was a small box on the letters page in the
lower right hand corner I believe. has anyone else noticed this in any other
Marvel issues?  I though that it was kinda strange or perhaps since
everyone knows Supes is returning sooner or later that it is simply Marvel
poking fun at DC.  Well, while I'm posting, I give a rundown of my 
purchases for this week, smaller than usual but hey it was a slow week and 
I'm glad cause I'm broke  :-)

Bloodshot #1 ......has a nifty cover that rivals DC's gimmicks, I got lost here
                   and there but I'll wait until the next issue to decide
                   whether it stays or goes.  Besides, I generally like
                   the few Valiant works I collect.  Archer & Armstrong is
                   one of my favorites.

Doom 2099 #1.......I must say that I am intrigued by this issue, though these
                   carbon copy foil-stamped covers are getting boring :-)

Superman #75.......OK so shoot me, I bought a polybagged issue, I was 
                   dissapointed that I couldn't get the first issue of A 
                   Funeral For A Friend however, my local shop did not order
                   very many and couldn't even fill there subscriptions.  Of
                   course I saw people with 5 issues of it as well as 5 plus
                   issues of Polybagged Supes. Well, enough on Supes...it
                   has literaly been beat into the ground.

Bram Stroker's Dracula #2........too bad I don't like to open polybags, the
                                 cover looks nice  *shrug*

Morbius #5.........Well as if anyone cares, but I like this comic so far, I 
                   would like to hear anyone elses thoughts on this as well.

*** also, rather than make a separate post, I agree with someone else who said
     that The Spectre should be for mature readers, I think there are more
     possibilities. At any rate, the art is pretty darn good and I've enjoyed
     the stories so far. ***

My question is: has she really evolved to become what she is now, or is it 
because her look was redesigned along her increasing appearances?

Dave,

I have the info about Bloodshot that you want already written up in
a file, but when I went to email it to you my system returned
and said "unknown host".  It did the same when I did a finger on
your email address.  The email address I used was :                      
   warriors@eb5ts4.ebay.sun.com

Contact me for the info, include your email address.
