Subject: CGW Database Beta Version
Date: 3 Nov 1994 23:11:46 -0800
Howdy, and welcome to my little Comics' Greatest World database-thing. This is
a basic rough version, w/o all the little extras I plan to put in it in the
future, such as plot summaries, full appearance lists, and my ratings of each
issue. I'm posting this now, because, well, I've been saying I would for a
while now, and I thought I should post _something_. Also, now that Dark Horse
has an official rep. here, it'll be much easier to get confirmations and/or
corrections on some of the information contained within. Well, enough talk,
let's get this show on the road.
Oh yeah, at the end of all this stuff is a short section dealing with what
little I know about upcoming projects in CGW. Mr. Dark Horse Rep(Aargh, I've
forgotten your name already. Oh, well. I'm hard-pressed to remember my own some
nights.), could you please, please, _please_ add more information to that
section.

only list any changes.

And finally, a Motorhead on-going monthly series has been hinted at, as well as
another book in the Arcadia setting. Both of these are based entirely on
semi-vague(?) comments in various lettercols. Oh, and reportedly there's going
to be an on-going monthly anthology book a la Dark Horse Comics(in fact, to
replace DHC), featuring CGW characters. Nothing further is known about this
project, either.
Any further information anyone can provide about any of the information
contained in this document would be greatly appreciated, especially
confirmation and/or further information about the upcoming projects.
That's all for now. I am...
