"Similarly, Lucas and Mark's new homestead was burned to the ground in the first episode of The Rifleman. It was supposed to have been rebuilt (in-story) on the same spot, but it is obviously not the same location as the rest of the series.

This is the third volume to feature the work of Denny O'Neil & Luke McDonnell, and the third to feature an introduction written by McDonnell. I've said this before, but Luke McDonnell strikes me as a really nice guy. Did you know that, in…

Jeff, I want to thank you and Tracy for the well-wishes you have given me, just to let you know how touching and thoughtful I think it was. I'm happy to tell you that I'm doing much better and I feel about 99% back to normal. Of course, it's easy to recuperate when all I have to think about is getting better while Adam takes every other burden upon himself. Here on Earth-B he has the reputation of being rather a cranky old cuss, but I know he's as sweet as a puppy! Tell him I said that and I'll blame it on the stroke.
Thank you again, Jeff, for thinking of me and do, please, pass my thanks and best wishes on to Tracy.
Happy new year!
Cheryl
