"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

#s 5 through 7 make sense to me, as the first two are a seminal two-parter with major repercussions for the Faith and Wesley characters, and #7 is a hugely popular comedic stand-alone. But I'd have thought "In the Dark," "Rm w/a Vu," "Somnambulist," "Eternity," "Blind Date," and any number of Season 2 episodes would be better choices than #s2 through 4.

"Five by Five" is the only one Whedon didn't write, or co-write. I suspect that's why.

I thought SMILE TIME was Ben Edlund, or was he co-writer?

We got the hardcover New Frontier book. Even though we have the individual issues and TPB, the book was so pretty we had to have it. Darwyn rocks!

Huh, I know this doesn't get a ton of traffic, but there's just over a hundred posts left before the thread's dead.

At the rate that this thread moves, it won't be done until 2007.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dave Cockrum has died.

And the story's sadder than all that--I'm still reading on it.

Neil Gaiman on Dave Cockrum.

Another Dave Cockrum story:

Dave and I did a couple of Blackhawk stories together. I thought he did a fine job but Dave was never satisfied with anything he'd done. We were at some San Diego Con, coming back from lunch when an attendee pounced upon us — and "pounced" isn't a bad way to describe what this guy did. "I've been waiting to get you both to sign this," he exclaimed, thrusting an issue at us. I scribbled my name but Dave took a few minutes with his inscription. He signed the first page of the story and then he flipped to page four or five and drew something in the margin. I couldn't see exactly what it was but it looked like a hand. As we walked off, I asked him what it was he'd drawn.

He said, "I decided I drew Blackhawk's hand wrong in that panel so every time I sign a copy, I draw it right in the margin. I've done that about thirteen times now."

I said, "You can't fix 'em all, Dave. They printed 150,000 copies of that issue."

Dave grinned through that beard of his and said, "Okay, so I've got 149,987 to go." How do you not like a guy like that?
