When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

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.

Starts pondering new names

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?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Some more Cockrum stuff, this time about his work on LoSH. One thing I never knew about was that Nightcrawler was originally developed for the Legion.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

Four preview images from the "Season Eight" Buffy comic.

Not much there, but the feel seems right. Also, I'm vastly amused that, four pages in, he's already Jossed a thumping majority of the post-S7 fic out there.

Heh, that's pretty funny.
