THE KID

I thought this was a gag but apparently it is for real. A woman in France fell to her death and was eaten by vultures. Terrible! http://www.examiner....1-000-foot-fall

I hope Dark Horse is going to include Conan on the next drawing contest.

Dark Horse is running a Superheroes Art Contest. Send a piece of Art Featuring Ghost, X, Captain Midnight, Black Beetle OR The Answer and you could win a large stack of Superhero books from Dark Horse Comics. We will pick one winner for each character.

The Winning Art for each respective character will also show up in the letters column of a future issue of the respective comic series. http://www.darkhorse...ero-art-contest

As I was going over some extra SSOC recently acquired a thought occured to me while reading Swords and Scolls (SAS) - letters mailed in with questions and comments.

Submit:

1. Issue #, date, and page # of SSOC SAS.

2. Type verbatim question and reply if there is one.

If commenting please be concise and on topic.

3. Name of person city, state, & country if other than USA.

Intent is to share with new REH fans what older REH fans had to say some 30 years ago in SSOC. The new SSOC reprints don't have SAS.

Thank you in advance and I'll start off SSOC with issue #26, Jan 1978, SAS page # 65 sent in by Rev. Ken Hutchinson St. Marys, Ohio The reverend says,

"Dear Mr. Thomas,
I have been an avid reader of your very fine magazine for quite some time. Please continue your excellent work. The articles, stories, and artwork are very good. I teach a stage-magic course at a local college (Wright State) and use you magazine as a teaching aid. We show how magic should look and be performed.

Several of our students have become very interested in what you have printed concerning the Society of Anachronism. We would like to know whom to contact for information and membership. We would appreciate any information which you might be able to send. If there is any member who might be able to give us information concerning joining this group, we would appreciate his address."

SSOC says:

"And mabye he'd appreciate yours, friend. Thus, we're printing your letter in the hope that some active member of the SCA will tell you how to contact the proper authorities. Meanwhile, it seems to us that we printed an address or two of that type some issues back, but we can't recall where. You might try scrounging thru the back issues...."

I found some Epics at the mom and pop comic book store. They are the Marvel Black and White editions similar to SSOC and about the same time frame. I got as many as I could afford at that time 3-5 dollars each. There are some of my favorite finds.

Issue #7 includes: Holocaust by Neal Adams, Epus by Pepe Moreno, Metamorphosis Odyssey: Requiem & Nightfire by Jim Starlin, The Egg by Tim Caldwell and Jeff Potter, The Llehs by Graham Marks and John Bolton, U.F.O. by Tim Conrad, and The Comedy by Dean Motter.

To the moderators: If there is another area that this is listed please can you connect the two? I'd like this to be Book Questions only and not comic books or comic trades please. Any additional information will be most helpful prior to purchase. I have only had to return one book to the book store on Bob because of the negative and misinformational introduction.

I saw this book but know nothing about it or the editors. Can you help? Thanks in advance. The picture of the typewriter reminds me of the cover to Two Gun Bob. On a Kindle I can Look Inside prior to purchase but not on paperbacks or Hardcover. Since this is so new I wasn't able to find anything about it or the editors. If it is just Wikipedia articles I believe I will pass on it.
