"I am reading Swamp Thing 1989, and picked up issue #3 today but haven't cracked it open yet.
I haven't read the original run since those issues were published. I well remember the controversy that led Rick Veitch to leave the book, which was…"

"..aaannnd it looks as if I've lost Rob. (I really thought there'd be more interest in this series.) I've still got the notes I took on #2, but I'm not going to type them up if no one cares. If anyone is interested, #3 shipped today."
"JUNE TALLY / JULY TALLY:
I started keeping a tally for the month of June because I was expecting six pre-orders in four weeks. Two of them were pushed back, though, and four in four weeks isn't really that impressive. But today held two surprises:…"
I've sworn off leading "long form" discussions (for the most part), but if there was ever anything that was draw me back in, it would be this series.
ASIDE: I haven't seen a recent picture of John Byrne in a while; I wouldn't have…"
We were speaking recently about titles that aren't numbered chronologically. We were using Hellboy as an example, but it could have been anything. Take Spider-Man. Spider-Man began with #1 in 1963 and was able to maintain…"
""Amazon lists the Steve Ditko Spider-Man Artist's Edition as shipping on July 21. I will be quite surprised if it ships next week."

"Having read all of Kirby's Demon now, I think the plunge starts a little later than Vance pins it -- I like the Phantom of the Sewers storyline quite a bit -- though Kirby changes horses in midstream, shifting the character Glenda resembles from the…"
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
