Duh, 'cuz I wrote it. CLIP AND SAVE! --------------- HUNH! Break it down now! --------------- AARDWOLF: ========= White Man Dancing #1 (Meth & Various). Short stories by author Clifford Meth, illustrated by Cockrum, Ploog, Trimpe, Marie Severin, & Gene Colan. ABSTRACT STUDIOS: ================= Strangers in Paradise #10 (T. Moore). Francine and Katchoo get evicted. SiP: I Dream of You TPB, collects the first 8 Abstract issues. ACCLAIM: ======== -Valiant- X-O Manowar #65 (Giffen & A. Smith). No details available. Turok #45 (Truman & Guice). No details available. Bloodshot #49 (Boone & Vancata). No details available. Acclaim has apparently reorganized their priorities. -Magic: The Gathering- Legend of Dakkon Blackblade (Prosser & Canard/Gomez). Dakkon vs. Sol'kanar the Swamp King. Comes with a free Dakkon card (from Chronicles). -Misc.- Sliders #1 of 2 (Chichester & Giordano). Spinning off from the short-lived FOX TV show, the comic will use concepts and characters "deemed unsuitable for the TV show because of budget restrictions." Killer Instinct #1 0f 3 (Moench & Gulacy). Based on the Nintendo game, of course. The Bad Eggs #1 of 4 (Layton & Perlin). Humor comic starring a bunch of dinosaurs. Armed & Dangerous #3 of 4 (Bob Hall). Hall's crime story contin- ues. Frank Miller's attorneys have advised me that Heavy Shadows and Negative Space are tm and (c) Frank Miller. Comment: Licensed titles from Acclaim outnumber Valiant titles. ACE COMICS: =========== Love Sucks #1 (Hynes & Juch). A comic the bills itself as being in the Strangers in Paradise or Love & Rockets vein. Hard to go wrong with a title like that one. ALL-JONH COMICS (sic): ====================== Astonishing Excitement #501 (various). Satire of 60's sci-fi and superhero comics. Looks to be fun, and gets a moderate push from Previews.

Adaptation of the Tarantino-written Rodriguez-directed George Clooney-starring vampire movie. I-BOTS/Lady Justice Crossover #1 (S. Grant & Broderick).

Stay tuned for Lisa Simpson's Joy of Soy after these messages. CALIBER: ======== Caliber will be publishing new and reprinted Moebius material starting this spring. Negative Burn: Best of Year 2 TPB. Worlds of H.P. Lovecraft: The Statement of Randolph Carter (Steve Jones & Chris Jones). COMIC BOOK LEGAL DEFENSE FUND: ============================== Chester Brown's "Fight Censorship" t-shirt, featuring Ed. DANCING ELEPHANT PRESS: ======================= Kane #13 (Grist). I know Paul Grist is great, but how the hell is he lasting 13 issues in this market? Finding his comic around here is like pulling teeth! DARK HORSE: =========== Aliens: Mondo Heat (Gilroy & del Carmen). "Freelance exterminator" Herk Mondo goes bug hunting. Creative team formerly worked on Ad- ventures of Batman & Robin and The Mask animated series. Sample art looks really nice. Sin City: That Yellow Bastard #1 of 6 (F. Miller). DHP #106 (Various). Bill Wray's Big Blown Baby strip debuts. Plus, Paul Pope and a Godzilla story by the very unlikely team of Ed Brubaker and Dave Cooper. X-Wing: The Phantom Affair (Stackpole & Macan/Biukovic). More Star Wars stuff, with art by those Croatian dudes who did Grendel last year. Jabba the Hutt: Betrayal (Woodring & Wetherell). Yep, it's that time of year--another astonishing Jim Woodring Jabba story! Walter: Campaign of Terror #1 of 4 (Arcudi & Mahnke). The Mask's arch-enemy in his own title. Monkeyman & O'Brien Special (A. Adams). Collects all previous appearances from DHP and Hellboy. Arzach TPB (Moebius). Not sure if this is the same as the Marvel TPB from about 10 years ago. to be continued.... -- Thad Doria "Wsssshhhhhhhhhhhht.

The special as I took the ad just collects the Hellboy stuff. But M&O did appear in DHP. They were on the cover. It was a short little story with a boy, a science fair, a massively evolved turtle, a talking gorilla, and a superstrong blonde. Not enough space to really get fully into the mood, but fun stuff. Before that or maybe after that, there was three pages in Dark Horse Insider. Monkeyman and Obrien vs. the Shrewmanoid. Very quick, pretty cool... -Abhay [a--o--a] at [Umich.edu]
