Which I grant you is rhetorical. Nonetheless I shall perservere to inform you of what I've been up to. I've been re-organizing and cleaning the apt as well as picking up the usual computer bits and bobs; saw X with sonnyboy despite the efforts of one would-be scalper, ran into the very cool darling_effect there and talked some (which was cool)and made tentative ( Read more... )

It was considerably different that most write ups and treated Harvey more seriously and with more respect to his intelligence than many profiles I've read. The soundtrack to the AS film includes some outstanding jazz cuts, mostly bop era stuff.

This was advertised in the back of The Comics Journal as I recall in the 80s. Kaluta was definately up for it. I contacted Gary Groth and perhaps with enough critical mass Ellison will finish the script (I hope so ( ... )
