From: [dor 1] at [quads.uchicago.edu] (thad a doria) Newsgroups: rec.arts.comics.info Subject: PREVIEWS-O-RAMA I. Aardvark-Dark Horse for 1996 July (spoilers) Date: Mon, 13 May 96 06:28:42 GMT Oy, I just read the *** ******, and it's about twice as long as the actual *********, which at this point only mentions ** anyway and was completely wrong in announcing Batman/Spawn II. It was just a resolicitation for a poster. There is no Batman/Spawn II. I have this mental image of folks keeping the *** ****** beside them as they read ********, so they know which pages not to look at. "Whoa, it says there's a **** **** on page 14! Better turn over 2 pages at once so I don't see it!" *********************************************************** P R E V I E W S - O - R A M A. I.
