CLIP AND SAVE!
--------------------
MAXIMUM PRESS:
==============
Warchild v2. #1 (A. Moore & Liefeld). Yes, that Alan Moore.
Rob said that Alan called him one morning and said, "Rob, I've
just had this idea for a Warchild story."

T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents #1 (Valentino/Liefeld/Yaep/Fraga). New
tales of T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Line-up is Dynamo (looking even more 
massive than Badrock), Raven, NoMan, Lightning (a rather well-
endowed woman), and Menthor (also female).

MERIDIAN:
=========
El Bizzaro #1 (R. Leung). Wacky escapades of 4 sprites in a 
computer. This looks quite dandy, I must say.

PLANET LUCY PRESS:
===================
Ragmop #5 (R. Walton). Previews gave this zany humor/adventure
comic a *big* push.

Tekno has moved. They are solicited under "B.I.G. Entertain-
ment." See part I.

=======
Duckman #0 (Peck). Reprints the hard to find one-shot original-
ly published by Dark Horse  a few years ago.
