I'd agree for the most part, though I think the current storyline, "England
Swings" is up to the level of the early issues.

Funny you should mention that. When the "England Swings" storyline concludes,
the next issue will be a full-length wrap-up of the "Kansas" business going
on in the current back-feature strip. I believe that it's being handled by
the Moore/Lomax team.
	While I'd prefer that Chaykin stay on as artist, I'd be willing to
accept another artist in his place so that he could go on with something
else. Willingham wouldn't be my first choice, I consider him an acceptable
substitute. Who would I pick, given my druthers? Well, I'd say (flames to
dev/null) that FLAGG! might be a good place for Sienkiewicz's outre' style.
