   "Is...THIS...the work of a madman?" -- Necross HA HAHA the Mad


 Now that direct-only comics are running 28 pages with no ads, some
 readers have expressed concern about back-ups not being reprinted
 when the direct-only "hardcover" is published for newsstand distri-
 bution.  The entire comic will be reprinted when the newsstand is-
 sue is published.  For instance, the full story text (including 
 back-up) of THE OUTSIDERS #1 will appear one year later in ADVEN-
 TURES OF THE OUTSIDERS #39.  This applies also to THE NEW TEEN  
 TITANS, and TALES OF THE TEEN TITANS; and THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES
 and TALES OF THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES.

 Beginning with issue #6, the format of SECRET ORIGINS will change.  
 The book will inclue a minimum of two character origins per issue, 
 one Silver or Modern Age and the other Golden Age.  The first double-
 header issue features Halo by Mike W. Barr, illustrated by Dick 
 Giordano; and the original Batman, by Roy Thomas and illustrated by
 Marshall Rogers and Terry Austin.

 TEEN TITANS SPOTLIGHT is scheduled to debut in May of this year.  In
 the series, written by Marv Wolfman and illustrated by various artists,
 one Teen Titans character will be spotlighted in each story.  Stories
 will run from one to several monthly issues.

 Senior Editor Julius Schwartz has been nominated to receive the First
 Fandom Hall of Fame Award for 1986.  The election will be held at the 
 45th World Science Fiction Convention at the end of August in Atlanta,
 Georgia.  First Fandom is composed of professionals and fans who were
 involved in science fiction prior to World War II.  Among the celeb-
 rities on First Fandom's roster are:  Isaac Asimov, Robert Bloch, Ray
 Bradbury, and Frederik Pohl.
