[1]   The Bullpen by Ryan Brewster

Okay, first off, apologies for another late issue. <sigh>.  Things are
really hectic these days.

Second, the CBN WWW page (as well as the Explorer Press home page) will
be "down" for a short while, with access available to only the text and
zipped versions of the latest e-mag (as well as the back issue index).
When it resurfaces, however (heh, heh), within a week or two, it'll blow
your mind! :)

And third, Comicunications is absent this week while I make some changes
format.  The industry news portion will remain the same, as will the
editorial, but the reviews will completely change format (and, as such,
I will be completely re-reviewing some comics) and the top 5 "rated" will
become the top 10 _picks_.   In other words, my 10 favorite comics. :)

Mike Imboden's starting to churn up some traffic over in the animation
message base of CBN's conferences.  What are your favorite cartoons? And
what's the latest news in cartoons?  Log on and find out! :)

The election process has begun for the Net Admin team for CBN.  Nominations
are now being taken, and the election will be held in the middle of this
month.  Let your vote be counted!

Again, profuse apologies for a late issue, but I managed to find some
interesting stuff to put into it, so it should be worth the wait! :)

Best,

--Ry

[2] CSNsider #431 by W. Batty & C. Biggers

This is the CSNsider from CSN #431, which will be in shops on 9/21/95.
It is reproduced in its entirety with the expressed permission of
COMIC SHOP NEWS!

The exclusives war continues: Coppervale Press (formerly Taliesin Press,
publishers of James Owen's Starchild) has signed an exclusive
distribution arrangement with Capital Distributors, while Jim Shooter's
new Broadway Comics will be exclusive with Diamond Distributors from the
very beginning; while this news is important to comic shops, it should
have no impact on comic fans at all...

Mike Netzer and Arik Meir's new series Legends: The Roman Wars, described
as "a four issue excursion into the esoteric realm of legend and
mythology," is slated for release from Diamond Publishers...

Joe Pruett will edit Moebius Comics, a new ongoing series of material
by the acclaimed French writer/artist; look for it from Caliber in early '96...

Budd Root's Cavewoman is also moving to Caliber in early '96...

Jim Hudnall is self-publishing a new ESPers series, Interface,
next year -- and to coincide with that new series debut, Caliber is
reprinting some of the original issues in full color in December...

Fans of Paradox' Big Book of Conspiracies will want to keep an eye open
for  the 1996 Caliber release of Warren Ellis's X=X, described as "a
conspiracy theory that logically brings together all of the conspiracy
theories"...

And as if that isn't enough, Caliber has also announced plans to bring
Rust back in 1996, along with Baker Street and Wordsmith...

Motown Comics has signed a publishing/distribution arrangement with
Image Comics...

Jim Valentino has announced that he is taking his Image titles, formerly
produced by Shadowline Studios, to Extreme Studios (Rob Liefeld's Image
imprint); the books will continue to appear under the Image logo, naturally...

Those phenomenally high-priced Marvel/Malibu crossover books that you
may have seen advertised inside Marvel Comics this past spring and summer
will be made available in an affordably-priced trade paperback in December...

Topps Comics gets a license to kill in December, when they release their
comic book adaptation of the James Bond film GoldenEye under license from
United Artists...

Oops: several astute readers caught an error in our recent report that
Spider-Man was about to become the first Marvel hero to meet both members
of the World's Finest team; it turns out that the Hulk has also crossed
paths with both Superman and Batman in past crossover -- but since he was
still the savage Hulk back then, he doesn't remember the meeting, anyway...

Is the word Fusion going to take on major significance in the comics world
in months to come?  Could be!...

The end of an era approaches: Love and Rockets, the critically acclaimed
Los Bros. Hernandez comic published by Fantagraphics, comes to an end in
early '96 with the release of Love & Rockets #50; Gilbert and Jaime
Hernandez will replace it with their own as-yet-untitled solo series...

Here's good news: beginning this month with the release of Hate #20,
Peter Bagge's popular comic will add four additional pages of comics
material with no increase in cost...

If you're a Star Wars completists, we hope you also like Apple Jacks,
because the only way you're going to get Dark Horses exclusive Star Wars:
X-Wing -- Rogue Squadron promotional comic is by sending in proof of
purchases from the cereal box (and in a much appreciated gesture of support
for comic shops everywhere, the cereal box will carry a message urging
Star Wars fans to look at the comic book section of their local phone
directory for a listing of stores carrying Star Wars comics)...

CSN #431 features The Horrorists from DC Comics on the cover as well as
more news and the CSN Charts.

The CSNsider is now available via e-mail! In order to subscribe to CSNsider,
send a message to majordomo@redweb.com, with a single line message saying:

[3]  The 25th Hour by Mike Imboden

  So, I'm flipping through some stations on Saturday morning and I come
  across a WB station and I see an ad that catches my eye;

  The debut of KidsWB - the WB network's Saturday kids lineup. And what
  is it's highlight? A new episode of Animaniacs!

  The theme has been altered slightly though I didn't catch the changes
  since I wasn't expecting them. References to Pinky and The Brain were
  removed, but only because those loveable world conquering mice have
  their own half hour cartoon! (though P & B are still in the opening
  when all of the Animaniacs are marching along carring their contracts
  during the "We have pay fo play contracts" line of the theme. They
  also now introduce Scratchinsniff, the guard and "Hello Nurse".

  The show opened in style. A voice over said, in a very serious voice;

  "Previously, on Animaniacs..."

  and the show proceeded to run about a three minute montage of some
  actual old clips mixed with a bunch of lampoons of "serious movie"
  scenes and cliffhangers including one which was done a few times in
  different settings that involved a man doing something, looking up, a
  look of horror crossing his face, him starting to flinch and a large
  explosion blasting in his face. It was like seeing every cliffhanger
  ending you've ever seen in a short time. The opening ended with The
  Warner Brothers and Warner Sister watching in horror as their
  water tower was blown to smithereens. Yakko brought their spirits up
  again by saying they'd build another one exactly like the old one.

  The two new Warner shorts were funny, typical Warner Bro and sis
  slapstick.

  The rest of WB's kids lineup looked pretty good, especially Earthworm
  Jim which is I think based on a Sega video game. Earthworm Jim
  reminded me a bit of The Tick, so if you get a chance to watch it, do
  so.

[4]  Comic Comments by John Keady

Here is my hefty review list for the week!

Action Comics #715- Superman goes against Doc Parasite, a merging
between the maniac Parasite and a Star Labs scientist. A pretty good
issue but felt pretty much like filler in preparation of the Trial of
Superman beginning next week. Art was good and it was still a fun read!
B

Batman Chronicles #2- A trio of Bat stories, two of which stand out more
than the first one. The Gordon story was very good as was the Harold
story! I'll probably pick this one up once in a while  B

Nightwing #2- A fun issue as Dick Grayson gets a new costume and even
longer hair?!?!?! I kind of tire of the despot dictator bent on villany
storyline. It seems I've seen it one too many times! Art was still good
though!  B-

Shadow of the Bat #43- The story was good but I was distracted by the
absolutly wretched artwork. I believe this was the same artist who drove
me from reading Daredevil. Thank God that this is only a one time deal!
C-

New Gods #1- The return of this title heralds a return to the cosmic
side of DC that has been sadly missing since the GL Corps was
obliterated. The story was strong as was the artwork and I recommend
that people at least give it a chance! B+

Sovereign Seven #4- The last issue I'll be getting. I had some high
standards for this book considering the publicity & reputation of the
creative team. Needless to say, I was extremely disappointed! No
character developement, mindless action and nothing worth remembering
follows every issue I've read.  D

New Titans #126- Beginning of the end for this long running series as
they start the Meltdown story arc. I actually saw the lack of action as
a refreshing change. I am just now beginning to see these characters in
the light I think they were mean't to be shown! The art was also rather
eye catching!  B

Robin #22- Ninja Camp storyline continues as Tim Drake goes undercover
to expose a training camp for underage ninjas! I'm still getting used to
the Weiringo art on this book though the story was pretty strong.  B

Superboy Annual #2- We finally learn who our intrepid young hero is the
clone of and I woulda never guessed! I really enjoyed this issue as it
told stories about Superboy that I never knew. Many of the annuals this
year just rehashed what we already knew.  B

Guy Gardner #36- Part of the UNDERWORLD UNLEASHED storyline! The Guy
clone comes to Earth and takes over the Warriors bar as three Neron
charged villans mistake the clone for the real thing. Quite a brawl
breaks out as drinks & patrons go flying! B

Underworld Unleashed #1- The beginning of this month's mega crossover
begins as Neron offers the villans of the DCU a chance to gain revenge
over the heroes who have trashed them for years. I thought seeing it
through the eyes of one of these 2nd rate baddies was inventive and
there were some suprises I never expected! The art was eye catching and
that florescent green was pretty blinding! B+

[5]  Rich's Revelations by Rich Johnston

Here is a monthly feature posted to rec.arts.comics.misc and offered to
us for the E-mag by the author, Rich Johnston of Twist & Shout Comics.
Look for his upcoming book _X-FLies_ !  (that's not a typo)

Subject [INDUSTRY] Rich's Revelations: Lies, Damn Lies, And Statistics
Date    Tue, 05 Sep 95 02:38:00 GMT

Rich's Revelations- Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics

A monthly column collating news, rumours and other bits

Lies- (probably true. Reported as news stories, or from creator interviews)

Windsor Smith's new series Young Gods, Paradox Man and Freebooters will be
published by Dark Horse and created by Windsor-Smith Studio in New York with
in-house colourists, letterers and production assistance. Confirmed inkers
and
finishers are Alex Bailey, John Floyd and Geof Isherwood, so that all three
titles can be produced together.

Mike McKone, recently seen drawing Spartan for Image is to take over the art
on WildCATS. Apparently the scripts and plots that Alan is writing for
Travis are too much for him to handle (ie, 2 inches thick)

Babylon 5 has been saved from cancellation as of issue 11, thanks to the
concerns of creator Straczynski who wants the comics to play important parts
in
progressing the story. As a result, the licensing deal has been renegotiated
between DC and Babylon 5's owners.

As Bryan Talbot leaves Teknophage, he will be replaced by artist supreme Al
Davison (Spiral Cage, Minotaur's Tale, Tainted. Talbot will be working on
Luther Awkwright II.

Damn Lies- (rumours from rumour columns of dealer chit-chat. Take them
with as much salt as you like)

Chris Bachalo has actually left Generation X permanently and crossed over to
Wildstorm to take over Gen 13!

Tony Stark and Iron Man are the next the receive the Marvel mix up treatment.
Writer, Terry Kavanagh is to reveal that Tony Stark never was iron Man, and
we've had a life-like android posing as Stark since the very beginning in
Korea.
This Life Model Decoy with Tony's brain waves will then go up against the
real
Tony Stark coming out of suspended animation for control of his company and
the armour.

Statistics- The Capital list for July 1995 complied by reported
numbers from retailers.

[Editor's Note: The Diamond listing can be found later on in this e-mag!

[6]  Animation News by Mike Imboden

 This from the September Issue of Diamond Dialogue...

  DC Comics has announced that animated cartoons featuring many of it's
  most popular super heroes will be packaged as part of the USA
  Network's "Cartoon Express" series....

  The series - which will begin airing Sunday mornings at 7:00am on
  September 17th as "The Superman Batman Adventures" - will include 130
  half hour episodes culled from Hanna-Barbera's "Superfriends" series
  as well as Filmation's "Aquaman", "Batman and Robin" and "The New
  Adventures of Superman" cartoons.

  *********************

  Erik Larsen's "Savage Dragon" is set to debut on Saturday, October 21,
  also on the USA Network. Once the series is rolling, USA plans on
  airing episodes on both Saturdays and Sundays so if you miss it one
  week, you can catch it the next on the alternate day.
  The producers...are viewing the television adventures...as more of a
  cop show than another superhero program. They are hoping to capture
  some of the urban grit that makes "NYPD Blue" and other shows popular,
  while still maintaining the fun of a cartoon and, more importantly,
  the comic book....

  *********************

  One of the most eagerly anticipated projects for 1996 is
  Hanna-Barbera's new series, "The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest"... In
  this new series, Jonny and his pals have been updated for the 1990s in
  regards to technology, attitude, and - in some ways - looks. This time
  around, in order to maintain the sci-fi edge honed by the original
  show, the producers have developed a plot device involving a virtual
  reality worl called, appropriately enough, QuestWorld.
  The full slate of 65 episodes of the new "Jonny Quest" is scheduled to
  air on TBS, TNT and Cartoon Network in 1996.

[7] The CBN APA! by Ed Dukeshire

THE CBN APA - The APA for and by the members of the ComicBook
Network.

-+-

CENTRAL MAILER: Ed Dukeshire


WHAT IS AN APA?
---------------
APA stands for Amateur Press Alliance. It's a magazine produced for
and by members. The only way to receive a copy of the APA is to
take part in it. Unlike most APAs, the CBN APA has no central
subject, any type of comic related subject matter can be used.
Members are the only ones that will receive the completed
publication. I am playing around with the idea of sending copies to
some of the most popular comic company editors and reviewers in the
comic industry.

THIS SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD WAY TO MINGLE WITH OTHER CREATIVE FOLKS?
----------------------------------------------------------------
Definately!  But, it can get costly. The main cost is incurred by
XEROXING all the copies of your section.  If you have access to free
or cheap copier, then it's very cost effective.  The most it should
cost you if you're getting charged high copying rates (10 cents per
page, 20 cents double-sided) is $9.00.  Most printers offer a better
deal on double-sided copies, usually around 15 cents per page, if
that's the case, it'll cost you $6.75 to print everything.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
-----------------
Each member makes his own little section relating to anything they
want. Since CBN caters to all types of comics, everything is
allowed, with the small exception of adult related topics. Some of
the members are under 18, so we need to keep it clean, no profanity.

Each member makes enough copies for all the members, collates, and
staples them in the upper left hand corner. Each member mails his
or her stack of 'zines to the CENTRAL MAILER. The Central Mailer
takes all the 'zines and binds one of each together to make one
thick magazine. Which then gets mailed to each member in the APA.

HOW IS THE POSTAGE PAID FOR?
----------------------------
When you join, each member sends $5.00 to get their account started.
Each month the total amount of the mailing (postage) is divided
amongst the membership and deducted from each member's account
(guessing around $2.50 per mailing, depending on how many members).
When a member notices their account is lower than $3 (an account
balance will be published on the inside front cover) they send more
money to stay active.

HOW OFTEN DOES IT COME OUT?
---------------------------
To start off with, we're going to go with a quarterly schedule. If
member demand is high enough, I can see us going to a bi-monthly
schedule, ultimately, it's up to the members. These are the
deadlines:

 Issue #1: September something
 Issue #2: November 31st
 Issue #3: February 31st
 Issue #4: May 31st

Like I said, this could change if we go with a bi-monthly schedule.

HOW THICK DO THE SECTIONS ('ZINE) HAVE TO BE?
---------------------------------------------
The MINAC (short for MINimum ACtivity) is six pages (3 sheets
xeroxed on both sides).  Paper size is 8 1/2 x 11, this will be the
size of the APA.  We may cut this in half if we go to a bi-monthly
schedule.  Or, we may even cut it in half if the roster list gets
very large.

CAN IT BE THICKER?
------------------
Sure!  The bigger the better!

WHAT DO MOST MEMBERS CONTRIBUTE?
--------------------------------
Anything that relates to comics or subject matter that interests
comic readers. FanFic is popular, sketchbooks, reviews, artwork
you've collected from professional artists at conventions, little
newsletters commenting on each individual's submission, etc.

SOUNDS GREAT! HOW DO I JOIN?
----------------------------
Send $5.00 and 15 stapled and collated 'zines to the Central Mailer,
along with your name, address and phone number.  Please name your
section, think up a wild crazy name if you want.  By naming it, it'll
give other members a quick way of recogizing who does what.  It's
always a good idea to have your name and address on your section
somewhere (cover, first page, last page, whatever).

FIRST SUBMISSION REQUIREMENT
----------------------------
Please write up a cover page telling everyone about yourself, what
your interests are, etc.  It'll help every member get familiar with
each other.  This doesn't need to be a book, just a couple
paragraphs is fine.

ADDRESS INFO
------------
E-mail Ed Dukeshire for more information.. his e-mail address is
e.dukeshire@genie.com

[11] Sell-Through Info (final) by Brian Hibbs

       Once again, I return with a list comparing Diamond distributors
sell-in charts, to the sell-through charts.  Diamond polls a group of
retailers each week on what they sold, on the top 100 comics (plus about a
dozen more), as well as top 10 cards, books, and magazines.  This chart is
for books that with "April 1995" product codes  (Shipped between 5/31 and
6/23)

The chart reads:  "Rank" -- the revised numerical listing of titles
                  "Title" -- self-explanatory
                  "O. Rank" -- the original 1-100 listing of the title
                  "OIN" -- Order Index Number -- an expression of a book's
                               sell-in in terms of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN
                  "ST%" -- sell-Through percentage reported by Diamond
                  "OIN" -- ST% multiplied by the original OIN

       Also, there are several titles that Diamond did not track/provide
numbers for, either due to error, or *incredibly* late shipping -- this
skews the new ranking of each succeeding title, obviously....so please take
this into account. These missing titles (with their original chart rankings)
are:

Pitt #10 (19); Ripclaw #4 (41); Glory #4 (46); Prophet v. II #3 (52);
Tarzan/Predator #1 (62); Team Youngblood #19 (86); Supreme #29 (87);
Knightmare #5 (91); Brigade #21 (95)

       For sake of Completeness, I've also included some titles Diamond
listed, that were below the Top 100.  These are identified with an asterix
before their names.  Huge heaping piles of salt should be taken when looking
at these titles, because ANY of the titles before them in placing (for which
we have no data) might well have outsold them!  Still, I figure incomplete
data, is better than *no* data.

       The point of this exercise is to demonstrate that sell-in often bears
NO relationship to sell-through.  For example, if the Top 100 title with the
lowest OIN (r) number (Magic: Shadow Mage #4) had been ordered *correctly*
in the first place, it is equivilant to #192 on the charts, rather than the
#75 it originally placed at! One important Technical Note, though: It is not
*Always* in a retailers interest to have 100% sell-through.  For example, I
like to have 25% of my initial Sandman orders left over at the end of the
4-week cycle, because I'll steadily sell them for the next 6 months!
Generally speaking, a retailer will need a 90% or better sell-through to be
profitable, but not if a book has a steady shelf-life!

 MUTANT MANIA APA
 THE APA OF THE MUTANTS
 CENTRAL MAILER: MARY JURY

''''DEADLINE IS SEPTEMBER 20TH!!
''''LAST CHANCE BEFORE DEADLINE!!

 The Mutant Mania is a proposed Amateur Press Association publication
 composed of individual stories, artwork, articles and commentary,
 formatted and collated by the editors. The first issue deadline is
 planned as the end of September.

 WHAT IS AN APA?
 APA stands for Amateur Press Alliance.  Its is a fans magazine for
 fans and by fans relating to a central subject.  What makes APA's
 unique is the fact that the only way to receive it is to take part in
 it?

 HOW DOES IT WORK?
 Each member makes his own little Fanzine based on the topic (in the
 case of MM-APA its X-Men and Mutants).  They then make enough copies for
 all the members and collate them and staple them together.  Then each
 member mails his stack to the CENTRAL MAILER.  The Central Mailer takes
 all the members zines collates them together to make one thick
 magazine. Which he then mails back to each member.

 HOW IS THE POSTAGE PAID FOR?
 When they join each member sends $20.00 in to get their account
 started. Each quarter the total amount of the "mailing cost" is divided
 among the membership and deducted from each members account. When a
 member is notified their account is dangerously low they need to send
 more money to stay active.  This will be noted on the inside of the cover
 page for each member.

 HOW OFTEN DOES IT COME OUT?
 First issue is due out the end of September. There after on a quarterly
 basis. Jan., April, July, October.  Contributions being due the month before
 mailing on the 1st.

 HOW MANY PAGES DOES IT HAVE TO BE AND HOW OFTEN?
 The size is called the MINAC (short for MINimum ACtivity). You'll need to
 send at least one (1) contribution for every two (2) printings.  It can be
 no less than three (3) (8.5 x 11) type written pages.

 CAN IT BE MORE?
 Sure the bigger the better!  You're paying for it!

 WHAT DO MOST MEMBERS CONTRIBUTE?
 Members are free to write as they wish, with minimal editorial oversight.
 Please do not include any material that could lead to legal difficulties,
 and keep in mind that it is probable that MM may be distributed over state
 lines and possibly overseas. Please separate commentary sections from article
 sections distinctly within your story. Please avoid personal verbal attacks.
 This is meant to be a friendly sharing of ideas and viewpoints, not a
 battlefield.  Almost anything that relates to X-Men or Mutant kind.  Fan
 Fiction is popular.  Write your own X-Men story or create your own characters
 or artwork.  Maybe a sketch that an artist did for you at a Convention. Many
 do critiques on the other members zine's.  This becomes something akin to
 an ongoing letters page.  Reviews and opinions on the current crop of
 X-titles and of course the TOPICS of THE MAILING!

 What's THIS "TOPIC OF THE MAILING"?
 The Topics of The Mailing are designed to get the membership through
 periods of writers block and give each issue somewhat of a theme.  The
 October MAILING for instance will feature Age of Apacoplyse and open
 discussion.  Members can write their own stories revolving around the X-Men.
 Let loose their feelings or experiences on Censorship in the comic
 industry etc etc.(This part is in thanks to the CM of the GOTHIK APA. Thanks
 Wayne for your help in getting started. Hope you don't mind us borrowing this
 idea.) Suggestions are welcome.

 WHAT IF THE TOPIC OF THE MAILING DOESN'T INTEREST US?
 If you don't want to, then ignore it altogether.  Don't even address
 the topics.  Go off on a tangent all your own.  Or maybe write a
 paragraph explaining why you don't respond.  Saying something like "I
 tried X-Men once, I thought it was over written and contrived. So I
 dumped it...."

 THIS SOUNDS LIKE A CHEAP WAY TO PARTICIPATE IN FANDOM?...
 Cheap, NO, it can get costly.  The main cost is in COPYING all the
 pages of your zine.  If you have access to free or cheap copying then
 it's a very cost effective and enjoyable venture.  If not, it will
 probably cost you about 5 bucks to copy a 3 page zine 25 times.

 IS THERE A WAITING LIST?...
 NO! If we get more than 25 members we will contact everyone by mail,
 hopefully in time, to send enough copies.

 HOW DO I JOIN?
 You should mail a check or money order in US funds payable to Mary Jury
 to establish an account. As each issue is mailed the cost of the
 issue and will be deducted from the account. When the account gets low
 the amount left will be noted on the inside of the cover page. At that point
 the member may send more money to continue receiving issues, put
 their account on hold until some future time, or request to have the
 balance returned, if the remaining funds in the account total more than
 $1. Any member whose account is on hold, who fails to use the
 account or request the return of the balance after a year is presumed
 to be no longer interested and donated to remain amount to the project at
 hand.

 STAFF : The MM is a privately owned APA publication. Current Staff is
 Mary Jury, Editor, Central Mailer; Jeanne Whistler, Assistant Editor.

 WHAT ABOUT ALL THAT LEGAL STUFF?  COPYRIGHT AND SO ON....
 COPYRIGHT: All contributions should be copyrighted by the author.
 Copyright may be asserted through the following phrase on the first page
  : Copyright (Your Name) (Date). For artwork it should be the name of the
  artist and a date when it was drawn.

 Copyrighted and trademarked material is often discussed and used in
 the MM. Discussion or use of such material is not intended as a challenge
 to any copyright or trademark.

 Permission is granted to all contributing members of the
 MM to comment on, review, satirize or excerpt from the MM zines within the
 MM.

 Members, by contributing to the MM, do not give up their ownership of
 their writings/artwork. The MM and Mary Jury are, by accepting your story,
 being given explicit and complete permission by you to reproduce your
 material in part or in whole within the MM, within promotional works for the
 MM, within archival collections or anthologies of the MM, or future editions
 of the MM; these may be in printed or electronic form. Authors, of course,
 will be properly credited in all derivative works. You may grant, sell or
 lease your permission to any and all other publications, companies or
 individuals regarding your own works but cannot repeal your permission to
 the MM or Mary Jury once your story has seen distribution.  Since this is an
 Amateur publication PLEASE let us know of your success in selling your works.

 Story authors are also giving permission to the other authors
 (current or future) within the MM to comment, review, satirize,
 excerpt or make personal use of all writings published in the MM
 within their own storys or other derivative works based on the MM.

 ANTHOLOGIES : It is planned that if the APA is successful periodic
 anthologies of collected articles from the MM will be gathered and made
 available at a reasonable cost to members. Mainly the cost of copying and
 mailing.  These will be edited and excerpted, without time-sensitive
 material, reviews or commentary being included.  Any member whose works
  are chosen for inclusion in an Anthology will receive a free copy of the
 anthology for the cost of mailing it to them.

 COMMUNICATIONS : We maintain an internet email presence, currently
 mary.jury@digcir.cts.com. Mailing address for the MM is :

Join in the fun!

You too can enjoy the intelligent conversations and informative threads
that occupy the conferences of the Comic Book Net every day! However,
many people who read this e-mag aren't familiar with the Local BBS
echo-mail system....

Bulletin Board Systems are scattered everywhere across the USofA, and
many of them are free!  Chances are, if you have a modem you have
the accompanying communications software.  Using the Terminal Emulation
software that came with your modem, you can dial up one of the many
systems linked into CBN (see the listings down a few paragraphs). Most
of the boards offer all the message echoes in the Comic Book Network...
there are message bases devoted to all the bigger comics publishers, as
well as big Small Press and Independent message bases, not to mention
sections for general (doesn't even have to be about comics!)
conversation.

If you are worried about long distance charges, worry no longer! Most
if not all the BBS's offer a mail service from which you can download
a .QWK packet of recent e-mail to read offline with a program called
an offline mail reader.  You can read & write messages at your leisure,
and then upload your own messages & replies the next time you call your
local BBS.  There are many .QWK packet readers out there, for every
type of computer system.  They all give you a better explaination in
their documentation than I can.   These programs are available all over
the Internet and are downloadable from most BBS's.

These "mail runs" (dialing up, downloading the mail packet and uploading
replies) generally take less than 5 minutes to accomplish, and at the
average after-5pm/weekends/holidays long distance phone rates, that is
LESS THAN 75!  See? Even less expensive than many of the commercial
information services available! :)

So what else can you find on free BBS systems?  Theres plenty of files
for specific types of computers.  Some systems also offer other types
of message networks ranging from general topics to specific themes
like sci-fi, role playing, games, music, etc.  And, let's not forget
online games.  Join into the many different multiplayer games, each
system sports different challenges.  There's nothing like becoming
the most powerful being in a online adventure!

And when you _do_ log on, leave a message in The Bullpen conference to
ALL, and introduce yourself to us!  You're guaranteed to get plenty of
replies and all the help you need to join in the fun!

Best,

--Ry, the editor, with assists from Ed Dukeshire.
