	Your second statement is correct. Put an alien in something and just
about anyone will buy it. However, your first statement is something I
disagree with. It appears that many people bought `NATHANIEL DUSK I' from the
sales reports and hopefully even more will buy `NATHANIEL DUSK II'. It also
seems that MS. TREE is doing reasonably good business. I enjoy a good
detective book, but there don't seem to be very man around.
	If you do want to read a good detective comic try either Nathaniel
Dusk mini series. They are 30's detective stories and are done very well.
Another good mini series was the Mike Mauser/Ms. Tree team-up which took
many well-deserved shots at the comic industry and a few a p.i.s named Mike.
