It reads like pre-Buffy Buffy, it even has it's own Zeppo in the mould of Rik Jones. That run was fantastic! It's quite a remarkable body of work (not collected yet, but I understand his run is being put together. quite specifically, Gary Frank drew it)I. N. J.

I recommend people read "I Am Legend" right now. That's a book I recommended (along "Something wicked this way comes" by Ray Bradbury) to Mister and Mrs Bling and they both loved 'em so don't just take my word for it... (and Curt's not been shy on recommendations either... if you can track it down, get a short story by George RR Martin called Skin Trade... and while you're at it, get "The Wolf's Hour" By Robert McCammon... Awesome book). <BR/><BR/>Matheson's written a lot of books, but stores don't stock that many so you have to track them down, order them in, whatever. He's my favourite and his episodes for TZ are great. Charles Baumont likewise.I. N. J.

But fear not, it wasn't really me. I was jokin'. <BR/><BR/>Whilst on the subject of identity, you should have a t-shirt printed saying "I didn't create Bob the builder, I just drawed them pretty pikchures what them television people made into morph folk with hats on."<BR/><BR/>Also thought you did rather well with the greywater question too. I'd have just shrugged my shoulders and said "dunno, I just drawed them pictures". Like I said, Johnny on the spot you're not.
