This is my first time on a net. Summary: projects ahead Just came from a signing Arthur Adams and Mike Mignola had, here in Berkeley. I know that there are a few people interested in Arthur Adams' work, so I asked about what he's going to be doing, and about some of the earlier pro stuff he's done. Aside from the Fanfare cover, and the Alien Worlds 3-D story, he also did a Defenders cover with Mike Mignola, and a Team-Up cover, the first one with Spidey's "new" costume. He also said he inked a few of the Secret Wars I pages. Upcoming projects planned/done/working on: 8 pgs. for Batman 400 a New Mutants cover (the xerox was gorgeous!) a Spiderman Annual Cloak and Dagger fill-in (#9) Longshot Graphic Novel Morlock Limited Series (tentative) X-Men Annual (next years') and, possibly, the Blue Beetle (not regularly) I'm sorry there aren't any numbers on most of this stuff, but considering that I am occasionally an airhead, I was lucky remember as much as I did. Another thing I'd like to discuss is the new magazine, "Fish Police" I know the guy who does it, Steve Moncuse, and he doesn't want a lot of fan fervor over his book, and I'm determined to see that he gets it. Please, don't pass Fish Police over just because it's got a funny title. LOOK at it!!! Judge it on its own merits. It really deserves a decent chance. The art looks professional, hell, it IS professional!!! It's clean and knows where it's going. OK, so it's black and white. Most of you know that means it's either really good, or really bad. This stuff is really good. I won't tell you the plot, because it's just the tiniest bit deranged. But it's got a good plot, good characterization, a good direction, and subplots left dangling in just the way you love/hate them to be. Personally, I'm upset with Steve for leaving so much a mystery, (the way I'm upset with Claremont for never telling me who Nightcrawler really is.) Worst of all, he offered to let me read the xeroxes for no.2, but when I thought of how long it would then be for me to wait for no. 3, I had to refuse. It's that good. Don't just take my word for it. R.A. Jones loved it. Likened it to Cerebus in quality, and said all sorts of neeato stuff about it in Amazing Heroes. He called it "the sleeper of the year" I am not putting this article on the net as a favor to Steve. I just can't bear the thought of people passing this book over, just because it doesn't sound like something they'd read. Pick it up, and give it a try. --Kathy Li p.s. Could someone who's a Japanese animation fan tell me the plot to Nausicaa? I saw the last third of the movie, and have the last three volumes of the anime. I don't understand Japanese. It's been a little frustrating.
