Wish I could answer that, but while I'm a Hendrix fan now, I wasn't in the
late 60's. And I really only know him through his music, so I have no idea
how the story matches up with the man.

That's the biz, sweetheart.

If it's any consolation, I never did write a letter to the comic, so someone
else will probably get the glory.

Well, maybe if you're extra special nice, I'll let you be the first to mention
that they also show up in the latest THOR (oooops...) :-)

Dark Claremont?? You must have read Heidi McDonald's excellent article in
THE COMICS JOURNAL.

Aww, you're no fun...	:-)

Fiend! I almost died laughing from that line. Do that again and I'll recite
my favorite Ung poem.
