Summary: questions and comments on above subjects


     It was recently mentioned in the new Amazing Heroes Preview that
Zot will be having an issue #10 1/2.  Does anybody have that article, and
could they post the information?  Something about an 8 1/2" x 11"
piece of paper folded twice and stapled? Sheesh.

     Eclipse named the artist for Grendel, in its .little giveaway what's coming
flyers, but I couldn't remember the name. (sorry. I know.) What I wanted to
know if anybody but me has heard Wagner say that Grendel will be a woman?!
I have this weird supposition that this upcoming Grendel is not the same
Grendel backing up Mage, and is in fact, said story's narrator.  Anybody
know anything concrete?
     
     For anybody who likes Alan Moore, but doesn't know where to find his
stuff, take heart.  2000 AD is back in monthly format.  "D.R. and Quinch
Go to Hollywood" graces the first issue of this now-regular title.  (If 
you remember the "D.R. and Quinch Get Drafted" stories, you've seen the
limited series).  If you haven't HEARD of D.R. and Quinch, you're in for a 
treat. Moore does Valley/mindless violence/humor. (approximate quotes: "There
are awesome places, and then there are totally awesome places, and then there
is Hollywood." "By some amazing coincidence, there was a Hollywood on this
totally scumball planet called Earth that Quinch and I destroyed one time.
This isn't that Hollywood.  This is a different Hollywood.") 
     One of the other stories is also by Moore: "Skizz". I think it's a 
kangaroo. Weird.
     Also, the British magazine Warrior has numerous Moore works: V for
Vendetta, Big Ben, Marvelman (reprinted as Miracleman) and a few others.
All the Warrior Marvelmans will be printed in Miracleman 1-6, and DC has
picked up V for Vendetta (it's being colored!--and Alan Moore says it's
being done well! I'll believe it when I see it.) so you don't HAVE to
rush out and buy a complete run.  
     The 2000 AD is also thinking of running Moore's Halo Jones stuff.
     If you're wondering about getting the 3-D Miracleman, it's a reprint of
the Marvelman Special (in 3-D, of course), which has only about three pages
scripted by Moore.  A good three pages, but only three pages, so if it's
not worth it to you, I wouldn't suggest getting it.

      Last item:  I heard a rumor (REPEAT RUMOR!!!!) entirely unsubstantiated,
that Byrne left the Fantastic Four two weeks ago.  Anybody know if it's 
not just a rumor?
