compiled by Christopher Day ([c h risday] at [aol.com])

This is an attempt at compiling the Comic Book work either written by or
adapted from the work of Harlan Ellison, as well as other Comic Book
related Ellison-paraphernalia. This is a working document, as you can see
it is already version 5.0, that has been in existence for almost two years
now. It is incomplete, and in some cases I have not physically confirmed
details of an item. If you have any questions, comments, corrections, or
additions, please, do not hesitate to contact me.  Also, let me know if
you download this, reprint it elsewhere, or anything.  I would be quite
interested in anything you have to say about it.

-- According to Rabbit Hole 18 (The Newsletter of the Harlan Ellison
    Recording Collection) Dream Corridor ended with issue 5:
   "Harlan Ellison's Dream Corridor from Dark Horse comics is a big
    success.  If you're looking for issues past #5 then I'm afraid you'll
    have to wait until next year.  Dark Horse wanted to expand the market
    to the bookstores, so HE and his co-editor Anina Bennett are revamping

    the format.  Square-bound, "perfect bound" format [like the Special]
to
    be published quarterly; at 64 pages per issue.  It means a larger
    market, a bigger audience, serious attention."

----------------------------------------Notes-----------------------------
--------
[1]  According to Mike Conrad ([m--e--o] at [aol.com]) "The story is set at the
      annual Rutland Hallowe'en parade and involves ex-Nazis.  From
      comments by O'Neil about the story in that issue's letter column,
      Harlan's contribution basically consisted of a suggestion to O'Neil
      that he should do a story about Nazi war criminals, mated with a
      creepy suggestion from Wrightson during the aforementioned
      Hallowe'en parade and party."

[2]  Volume of DC Graphic Novel adaptations of Science Fiction.  Other
      volumes included Ray Bradbury's "Fire & Ice", Robert Bloch's
      "Hell On Earth", and stories by George Martin & Robert Silverberg.

[3]  re: "I Have No Mouth" - "John Byrne wanted to adapt "I Have No
      Mouth" and he did, but being John Byrne, instead of treating the
story
      with ... not exactly a reverence, but a certain fidelity to the
material-
      because it's such a well-known story-John decides to do a John.  If
      you remember the story, it takes place inside this giant computer,
and
      the caverns are hundreds of miles in diameter.  Well, John made it
      look like it took place in your kitchen.  What I decided to do was
run
      the actual story, the parallel amount of story for the amount of
pages
       in each issue. John's done it in four parts and with each part,
there's
      the original story as it was published.  The story appears on one
side,
      on one page, and then there's five or six pages of John's art, with
      balloons and the whole thing ... The text that text that precedes it
is
      the section of the original story that parallels what John has done.
      It's sequential art, the way he does Next Men, only you've got two
      versions of it:  You've got my version and his version"
           -- Harlan Ellison, _Hero Illustrated_ #22, April 1995, pp 24,
26

[4]  "If I had to pick an issue of Dream Corridor that is my favorite, so
far,
      I guess I might pick this one . . . issue number six. It is, beating
here
      in my bosom, as pure a flame as we've put alight so far. The spread
of
      subject matter is really nice: a contemporary drama-cum-comedy
      that is purely offbeat; a touching and personally meaningful fantasy

      that takes place in my own past, when I was a kid growing up in
      Painesville, Ohio; a cover story I've written around a superlative
      painting by the award-winning and renowned California artist, Kent
      Bash (based on a weird image that popped into my head one day); the
      farthest-out Shanower interstitial pages so far; and work by a lot
of
      my friends --
      Jan Strand, Paul Chadwick, Rags Morales, Tony Isabella, and Kent
      Bash hisself.
      "Opposites Attract" is about a mad bomber. It's a story I wrote back
in
      the late '50s when George Peter Metesky's name was infamous in
      America. He was called "the most dangerous man in New York City"
      because of the bombs he planted, and the people he crippled and
killed,
      at Penn Station, Radio City Music Hall, Grand Central, and
elsewhere.
      He's still in a NY hospital for the criminally insane, under guard,
to
      this day (unless he died when I wasn't paying attention). This story
is
      a wry twist on the mad bomber thing ... and we had it in the works
      long before the demented Oklahoma City nightmare of recent events.
      "And Jan -- who brought back The Atom for DC, and is one of the best

      damned writers in the game -- and my friend Paul Chadwick -- whose
      Concrete has become a genuine comics legend in its own time -- have
      combined to re-tell "One Life, Furnished in Early Poverty" that I
wrote
      because my heart compelled me, that we did as a segment on "The
      Twilight Zone" when I was working that series for CBS, that I've
      always fancied as one of my best tales, in a way that I think you'll

      admire greatly."
            -- from Dark Horse press release

[5]  There was also a quote from Ellison on early Fish Police ads, which
      was actually not from Ellison, but someone who had appeared in a
      California Comic Shop pretending to be him and praised the book.
The
      praise got back to Moncuse and the quote was included in the ads.

[6]  Lawsuit came from comments made by Ellison during Comics Journal
      interview.  On being asked if he, Ellison, followed any comics at
the
      moment he mentioned that he enjoyed Michael Fleisher's work on the
      Spectre, making a comment to the effective that he though Fleisher
      was crazy.  Fleisher sued Ellison & the Journal for $2 million for
      defamation of character.  Although the case was eventually decided
in
      favor of Ellison & the Journal, it was during the course of this
case
      that Ellison & Gary Groth, publisher of the Journal, began their
      intense feud.  This feud has continued to this day with Groth's
      reprinting of "The Book On The Edge of Forever" by Christopher
Priest
      and with his association with Charles Platt and the "Enemies/Victims

      of Ellison" Society.  For more details on the lawsuit see issue 53
of
      the Comics Journal.  For more details on the feud see issue 9 of
      Gauntlet, a magazine detailing issues of Free Speech and Censorship.

Special Thanks to John Leavitt for hosting this list at

Once again, any corrections or additions can be mailed to me, if you
want.

This Bibliography is dedicated to my Father, John Day, who grew up
in Painseville, OH (Ellison's home town), escaped it (Like Ellison),
and turned me on to his writings.  Now, thanks to Dark Horse and these
other publishers, I have another way to connect back to him.
