[1]   The Bullpen by Ryan Brewster

First of all, a note that if you _haven't_ checked the WWW page recently
(that's http://www.cris.com/~Xenozoid/ComicBkNet.html), you may want to
visit again.  I have added a few graphics and what-not, and the page is
starting to look pretty nice.

The web page will be in a constant state of construction, so be sure to
check back regularly.

Additionally, be sure to check out the Late Comics Report this week. Due
to its large size, I had to change the feature to a _monthly_ feature
rather than an _every week_ feature, to help cut down on the size of the
e-mag. However, it's extremely helpful, particularly if you are on a tight
budget or are _dying_ for a particular comic or something. Y'know? :)

Okay. The big news this week is that CBN Sysop and comics professional
Benny Powell has lined up some new gigs!  Benny Powell will be writing
for:

     * Cosmic Powers Unlimited #5: A 15-pg backup about Midnight Sun.
     * That New Marvel Fanzine: A monthly column. A pslychologist from
       the Spidey books, Dr. Kafka, gives a psycho-analysis and background
       on whichever villain is going to be "big" that month.
     * The Ultimate Super-Villain: A prose Abomination story, with chapter
       art by Angel Medina
     * The Ultimate X-Men: Prose Archangel/Psyloche love story.

Some of these books are coming soon, some won't be out for awhile. We'll
keep ya posted!

Best,

[2] CSNsider #437 by W. Batty and C. Biggers

This is the CSNsider from CSN #437, which will be in shops on 11/2/95.
It is reproduced in its entirety with the expressed permission of
COMIC SHOP NEWS!

Kyle Baker's Cowboy Wally Show, a critically acclaimed graphic novel
that's been out of print for years, is returning courtesy of Marlowe
look for the new edition in early '96 (and yes indeed, Baker is working
on a new project -- but no one's saying what it is yet)...

Universal Pictures has acquired the motion picture rights to Malibu Comics'
Prime for producer Charles Gordon...

Looks like Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones will star in Men In Black, the
film based on the former Malibu paranormal/X-Filesh-ish comic...

Bucking the trend, Warp Graphics has announced that they will not go
exclusive with any single distributor, in spite of rumors to the contrary...

Keep an eye out for a Mission: Impossible comic book to tie in with the
upcoming Tom Cruise film...

And speaking of comic books based on films, don't be surprised if you
see a Star Gate comic book in the near future, based on the 1994 hit
film -- and don't be surprised if it's produced by a newcomer to the
licensing game!...

Everyone knows that the Marvel Vs. DC miniseries ends in early March, right?
But don't be surprised if there aren't some intriguing plot twists that
continue after that series is over...

HBO's first Little Lulu animated special debuted on October 20th; keep an
eye out for reruns -- and keep an eye out for the return of Little Lulu
comics in the next few months...

A Superboy/Robin miniseries is in the works for early '96...

The CSNsider is just a small part of each issue of Comic Shop News.
CSN #437 features Bloodshot: Last Stand by Mike Zecc from Acclaim Comics
on the cover as well as more news and November Hot Picks.

[3] Rich's Revelations, by Rich Johnston

Lies, Damn Lies, and Rumors

A monthly column looking at the current state of comics.

Lies

(News taken from news reports, creator interviews and primary sources. Any
errors are theirs)

Sales on Exit from Caliber have been very good indeed. The word has got round
the retailers, and sales have well exceeded the original self published
issues.
Trade paperbacks of the first 8 issues may soon be released. On that note,
Strangehaven from Abiogenesis has also reached new self-publishing sales
heights. The author, Gary Spencer Millidge is interested in any Americans who
would be able to offer a "garage service", similar to one of Mike Meyer's
roles
for Twist and Shout Comics, storing comics in the USA to fill any USA orders,
so
that Gary doesn't have to the ship them back and forth across the Atlantic.
He
recently filled Cold Cut with 50 copies, that wiped off any profit he could
make
on the issues. And yes, for one month, Twist and Shout Comics become
Britain's
biggest self publisher. We didn't mean to, honest guv!

Alan Moore will be recording "The Birth Caul: A Shamanism Of Childhood" in
Newcastle in November. This new limited CD will be recorded at the Old County
Court Building, Westgate Rd, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, not far from Forbidden
Planet,
59 Grainger Street, Newcastle, who will be selling tickets. He will be
playing
with ex-Bauhaus bass guitarist David J and the classical musician Tim
Perkins.
Copies of the CD will be released by Charrm Records on December the 4th and
can
be obtained from Charrm Records, 15 Devonshire Place, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne NE2
2NB

Dez Skinn (Comics International, Warrior) and Paul Hudson (Comics Showcase)
are
parachute jumping to raise money for Knockabout's legal expenses. After
shipments of Crumb's My Troubles With Women, a book that has passed through
customs many times, was seized, Knockabout are up against HM Customs. And
someones got to foot the legal bill. Make cheques in sterling payable to Nash
and Dowell, Knockabout's solicitors and send to:

Knockabout Comics, 10 Acklam Road, London, W10 5QZ, ENGLAND
Phone 0 (1144) 181 969 2945, fax 0 (1144) 181 968 7614
(USA/Canada add)

Bob Wayne had an interesting idea to raise more money from Dez Skinn's
parachute
jump, but you'll have to ask him yourself (dcobobw@aol.com) or perhaps he'll
post it here himself. I've got a job to keep 8-) (see sig.)

And... with the abscence of Warren Ellis from Doctor Strange, can the art
team
be far behind? Chris Bachalo and Mark Buckingham dissed their work on Ghost
Rider and Ghost Rider 2099 on stage at the UKCAC, due to... err... writing
deficiencies, and Mark and Kev were heard to mention similar misgivings about
their current Marvel project. However, DeMatteis is starting to please them
more.

Damn Lies

(News taken from rumour columns, friends of friends and dealers with stories,
hot comics etc. Take with as much a pinch of salt as you like.)

Hot comics! Hot comics! Preacher is selling for over 7 quid (er... over ten
dollars is that?), Egypt has also hit heights, the new Ellis and Deodato Thor
has sold out everywhere, along with Waid's Cap America. Angela, selected
Comics'
Greatest World are up there too, thanks to movie interest.

Just how hot can the Green Lantern/Silver Surfer crossover get? As a prequel
to
the big crossover next year, dealers have realised their underorders and some
are taking orders for the title at many times cover price without any copies
in
their hands yet.

My favourite scene from the UKCAC was when all the long time X-Men fans who
had
stopped buying the title found out about the latest Excalibur. Fans and
creators
alike swooped onto any of the "new comics" table is desperation as Kitty
Pryde
reached that... big moment. Dealers are trying to place reorders on the next
issue.

Keown leaves Image... but why? Reports are that there were general
disagreements
with Image which exacerbated when Keown found out that his work was being
reprinted in Europe without his permission or contract.

[4] Recent Reads & Random Thoughts, by Bill Hughes

Time for Recent Reads & Random Thoughts again already?  Man, it feels
like I just finished the last one!  Some of these books, like NEGATIVE
BURN #25 have been out a while and sitting in my to-be-read pile, just
so ya know.

EXIT #1                             NEGATIVE BURN #25

SMALL PRESS:

Bacchus #4 & 5
By Eddie Campbell
$2.95 (b/w)

I order my comics in advance, so I tend to get a few issues of a title
even after I've decided I'm no longer interested.  Well, after three
issues of Bacchus, I had decided it just wasn't my cup of tea, and
stopped ordering them.  I hadn't read issue four yet, and by the time I
got around to it, issue five had already found it's way to my house.

Now, since I've stopped ordering the book, wouldn't you know I'm
starting to really get into it?

I think what started the change of opinion is the comical goings-on at
the bar that's seceded from England.  Bacchus is indisposed at the
moment, running thru different paintings in the bar trying to get away
from some lunatic intent on killing him.  Meanwhile, the patrons at the
bar are busy creating his successor.  They hire a guy named Neil (Neil
Gaiman?) to help with the character, that they've decided to do in a
YEAR ONE fashion, and the new Bacchus looks straight outta an Image
comic.

I really appreciated the satire, and from that point I settled into the
book much easier and found myself enjoying both BEER STREET and the
reprinted material featuring Joe Theseus and The Eye-Ball Kid.

Now, I've got to find the one or two issues I didn't order when I
thought I was dropping the book... arrrgh!

DESERT PEACH: Beginnings
By Donna Barr
#12.95 (b/w)

The Desert Peach is the gay brother of The Desert Fox.  If that doesn't
tell you that this is one unusual book, I don't know what will.  I mean,
a comic whose main antagonist is a homosexual Nazi???

DESERT PEACH: BEGINNINGS is a trade paperback collecting the first three
issues of the regular Peach series.

This is an amusing book, without making fun of The Peach or homosexuals,
and without seeming sympathetic to the Nazi's cause.

The Peach is pretty much in the army to be close to his brother, Erwin
Rommell, the Desert Fox.  He doesn't agree with the politics of his
country, he's not a violent man, and he's very loyal to his brother and
very protective of his men.

While alot of the humour in this book does stem from the main
character's sexuality, it is in no way a stereotypical or hurtful
depiction of homosexuality.  For instance, although the character is
effeminate, he easily wipes the floor with a Russian who crosses the
line by punching one of his men. This goes against his own moral code
(the nazi is a pacifist) and he immediately begins to apologize for
kicking the Russians butt, even though he deserved it!

I highly recommend this book to all open-minded comic lovers, excluding
only the homophobic.  The $12.95 is easily worth it just for the scene
with the naked, surfing nazi's! <g>

INDEPENDENT COMICS:

EXIT #1
by Nabiel Kanan
$2.95 (b/w)

This is a new title published by Caliber Comics, and is the second
volume for Kanan.  I'm not familiar with any previous works, this is the
first issue that I've had a chance to check out.

Exit is a compelling story about a young man who thru circumstance and
coincidence, finds himself in the position of having too much knowledge
about his girl-friend's father.  This information leads him into further
problems as the comic moves on, from accidentally becoming involved with a
breaking and entering, to having the real thief trying to track him
down.  All the while he tries to think up a way to let his friend know
about her father without blowing whatever chances he may have with her.

This is a very promising first issue.  I could easily see myself
becoming attached to this series, if it continues along this path.  My
only complaint is that the type in the word balloons is on the small
side, I had to squint to make them out. Other than that trivial concern,
this was a great book.  Highly recommended.

NEGATIVE BURN #25

This issue has been in my read pile for some time, and I've only gotten
to it this week.  Had I known what a great issue it would turn out to
be, I would have gotten into it the first day.  This is one of the best
anthology books I've read in a while, better than any of the DHP #100s
that came out about the same time.

BAKER STREET: THE EMPTY HOUSE by Guy Davis is a female-punk rocker
version of Sherlock Holmes.  It's got enough elements of Sherlock Holmes
to satisfy fans of that type of work, while the punker twist makes it
interesting to the finicky comic connoisseur. The first installment
begins this issue, and will be continued in the following issues.

Bernie Mireault offers a quick-take from THE JAM that's entertaining,
about Gordie's attempt at getting a chair left in an alley before anyone
else does.

Another top notch contribution is David Mack's KABUKI in a story that
would make a marvelous introduction to his work for newbies.

Teri Wood supplies one of my favorite pieces in this issue, DARKLIGHT.
I love her artwork, and these characters look very interesting.  I can't
wait to see more of them!

THE APPARITION by James Pruett is the story about a drug addict who has
his last fix.  Mildly interesting.

ALAN MOORE'S SONGBOOK, with illustrations by Dave Gibbons is also in this
issue, (although not really top notch stuff from either one of them IMO)

Neil Gaiman fans will probably want to get a look at his SKETCHBOOK,
which shows a glimpse at how his mind works... interesting stuff.

SUBURBAN NIGHTMARES by Larry Hancock and Michael Cherkas begins this
issue, and is the story about a boy who sees mysterious neighbors move
across the street at 3AM, but his parent don't believe him.  They allude
to the fact that they may be aliens.  This was only part one, but it
looks very promising, I like Cherkas artwork.

THE PROTAGONIST VERSUS FRED by Bradley Walton and Mike Hoffman is a
pretty funny story about two guys arguing about who's tougher in a bar.

Another top notch contribution is Paul Pope's STRIP FOR 6.30.93, I'd
love to get the entire piece on one page, poster style.  Paul Pope
rules.

There is also a text piece called THE SAD CASE OF PROFESSOR WOODBURY
that I haven't read yet, as well as the usual MR MAMOULIAN by Brian
Bolland, and DOMINIQUE by Charles and Lisa Moore.  Oh, and a one page
strip by Greg DiGenti called CHARLIE SELDOM.

This book carries a price tag of $3.95 and it's worth every penny.  I
don't think I've ever bought an anthology title with this much high
quality stuff in one issue.  This is the Must-Buy of the Week!  Sorry,
it's been out for about a month now, but you should still be able to
find it if you shop at a decent store.

DC COMICS

BLOOD SYNDICATE #32
ALL SOULS DAY
Chichester/Cowan/Borderick
$2.50 (color)

Continued from last issue, the Syndicate battle Soul Breaker, who has
taken control of Third Rail and plans to do the same with the rest of
the Syndicate.

I don't care for the character of Soul Breaker, so I'm glad this
storyline is over.  I did like how the Syndicate didn't try and stop
Brickhouse from getting her due with Soul Breaker after all he'd put her
and the team thru.  I would have questioned anything less coming from a
team like this.

Anyway, Ivan Velez Jr.  returns next issue, along with a new penciller,
Jeff Moore.  Hopefully, we can look forward to Velez issues for the rest
of the limited time that the Syndicate will be with us. :(

NIGHTWING #3 of 4
THE TRAITOR'S DEATH
O'Neil/Land/Sellers
$2.25 (color)

Well, only one more issue to go in the Nightwing mini-series, so I guess
it's time to say it.  As much as I really want a Nightwing series,  if
this is any indication of what it would be like, I'll pass.  This book
just isn't exciting enough, and I don't really care for how Grayson is
being portrayed.  Personally, I don't think he's as careless or as
bungling as he's painted in this series.  And I think that if a
character like Azrael can get such a great monthly book, we should
expect no less for a character with the history of Dick Grayson.

First thing I'd change, is get a new artist.  Greg Land just isn't doing
it for me.  Secondly, can we get a new plot for Grayson, please?  He's
been trying to "find" himself and solve the mystery of his parent's
murder for years.  I think it's time for him to move on to new things.
Let's see a little more personal stuff from him.  Settle down in a new
city, away from Batman and away from the Titans, and be his own man for
a change.  Get an apartment, a job and a girlfriend.  In short, it's
time for Nightwing to get a life!  The character deserves one.

DARK HORSE COMICS:

DARK HORSE PRESENTS #101
$2.50 (color)

This was a pretty good issue.  I picked it up for the Paul Pope
installment, called THE ONE TRICK RIP-OFF which is sure to please fans
of his work, but the ALIENS: INCUBATION story by Ron Marz and Bernie
Wrightson looks promising as well.

ICED by Steve Niles and Paul Lee was okay, although it was pretty easy
to see where it was going from the beginning.  Since it's a short story
I'll forgive that though, it would have been worse watching it drag out
in a longer form.  Paul Lee looks to have a bit of an Eddie Campbell
influence in his illustrations.

ALIENATOR by Scott Musgrove is one of those bizarre pieces that I lack
the words to describe.  I could have done without it, myself.

Same with A ROSE FOR GREG SELKER by Harvey Pekar and Joe Sacco, proving
once again that I just don't care for these guys work.

MARVEL COMICS:

DAREDEVIL #346
INFERNO part two
DeMatteis/Wagner/Reinhold
$1.95 (color)

I haven't picked up Daredevil in some time.  I tried a few issues when
the character was revamped a while back and everyone as raving about the
book, but didn't see anything that caught my fancy.  Apparently DD's new
fans were a fickle lot, because we're into another transitional phase
already.

Matt Murdoch, who has had his fair share of break downs, seems to be
headed down that road again.  Oh, excuse me, he isn't Matt anymore, he's
Jack Batlin.  Whatever.  Anyway, It seems as though there's another
Daredevil running around town in DD's original uniform, the red and
yellow one that I'm sure none of the youngsters even remember.  And
since Matt- er, Jack has switched back to the Red costume, it's easy to
see why people are thinking at least three or more DareDevils are in the
city.

Even though I'm jumping into the second part of a story in a book I
haven't read in over a year, I didn't feel overly lost or confused by
what was going on in the story, it was written well enough that I could
jump right in.  And, since I'm intrigued by the appearance of this other
DareDevil, I may pick up a few more issues of this title in the coming
months.  I only hope that Matt isn't going to be the poster-boy for a
straight jacket company, I'm tired of seeing my childhood heroes go thru
the ringer all the time.

NIGHTMAN #infinity
THIS IS BLACK SEPTEMBER
Englehart/Zachary/Hunt
$1.50 (color)

I've never really followed the NightMan title, so I'm going in with
limited knowledge of the character.  Somehow during the whole
Marvel/Malibu mess, Nightman has been split in two, each half as real as
the other, with exactly the same memories up until they split apart.

Since the split however, they've had decidedly different points of view
as to what the NightMan should be, and it's apparent that this universe
is only big enough for one NightMan.  So, one of them winds up in the
Marvel Universe.

I'm not all that impressed with the character of Nightman, but I may
keep an eye on the goings on because I think it's interesting to have
one character residing in both universes. I wouldn't go so far as to
recommend this book to anyone, but at the price I figure I can pick it
up once in a while.

PRIME #infinity
WHAT'S A HERO ANYWAY?
Jones & Strazewski/Statema/Moy & Welch
$1.50 (color)

Kevin is trapped in the Marvel Universe, where his Prime-power isn't
working the way it should.  He meets up with Spider-Man and takes on The
Lizard- who has been revamped into some half-dinosaur version.  When are
people going to learn to leave well enough alone with some characters?

This ish was decent, nothing to get overly excited about though.  At the
price, it'll still remain on my pull list for a while.

RUNE #infinity
DAY FOR NIGHT
Kaminski/Hotz/Moore
$1.50 (color)

Look, I'm going to be blunt.  This book sucks.  It was cool when Barry
Windsor-Smith created the character, and it had potential, although it
never lived up to it even under BWS.  But now, this book is only good as
something to get a fire going with on the cold winter nights that we'll
be seeing shortly.  I'll save this issue for December.

Oh, and for those of you keeping score at home, another Marvel character
is now residing in the Ultraverse, Adam Warlock.  And boy, does he look
like crap!  Since when has Warlock had this penchant for skulls?  I'll
sleep well at night knowing I'm not missing anything with this title...

SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN #2
THE GREATEST RESPONSIBILITY part 3 of 3: NO MORE HERO
DeFalco/Buscema & Sienkiewicz/Robins
$2.50 (color)

I'm sure I'm not spoiling anything when I reveal that the clone is
turning in his union suit to the "real" Parker, now going by the name of
Ben Reilly.  Pete's reasoning for giving up the suit are sound, and
for once he's rationalizing like the character we've known for years.
Responsibility has always been important to him, what bigger
responsibility can their be than taking care of your wife and newborn?

Even though this whole clone storyline has been dragged out way too
long, and I have a list of complaints about a mile long about how it was
handled, I respect the fact that the powers that be had the balls to do
a storyline like this.  Every issue I read I'm waiting for the old
DALLAS episode, y'know, the shower scene, where everyone finds out that
the entire previous season was just a dream?  And, while I'm sure
somewhere down the pike it'll be revealed that MJ's husband is the real
Peter Parker, it looks like DeFalco and company are settling in for a
long time before that day comes.

X-MEN ARCHIVES: CAPTAIN B
Alan Moore/Alan Davis
$2.95 (color)

I've forgotten to hype this book since the first issue, mainly since I
somehow missed the second, and issues three and four have been sitting
in my to-be-read pile for some time.

Anyway, this series, although a bit pricey, is great stuff, especially
for fans of the early Excalibur.  It reprints the British comic series
that Captain Britain was a regular in, called DAREDEVILS.  Not only is
it a fun comic, but it also has first appearances of characters like
Betsy Braddock, the Captain's sister who is better known as the X-Men's
Psylocke. Also, fans of Alan Moore and Alan Davis should get a kick out
of this early work by two very talented creators.

IMAGE COMICS:

WILDC.A.T.S #23
Moore/Benjamin/Thibert/Johnson/Austin
$2.50 (color)

I had never read WildC.A.T.s until Chris Claremont did a few issues, and
I wasn't terribly impressed.  I tried a couple Robinson issues with the
same result.  Now it's time to give the talented Alan Moore a shot at
these characters.

First of all, I think that the characters in this book already have too
much history for new readers to easily jump into the series.  You need a
whole history course in who's who and their relationships to follow
what's going on.  I'm still unclear on who the WildC.A.T.s are, and I've
read a few issues.  Now apparently a new team is in place on Earth while
the originals have returned to their native planet.  All this just makes
it more confusing to me.

Now, I would normally take the time to learn the history for characters,
if I found them interesting enough to warrant the research.  But, none
of these characters interest me enough to track down back issues to find
out about them.  In the past I've decided that perhaps I've jumped on at
bad periods, and that's why I didn't care for them, but the bottom line
is, I've tried the book on three occasions with three different writers
with the same result.  I just don't care for this book.

Oh, and what's up with that cover?  I'm sure I've seen it before, only
with Wolverine or Storm, turning in a Brood?  Anyone else remember the
cover I'm talking about?

Bill!

[5] Keady's Comic Comments, by John Keady

Detective Comics #691

An UNDERWORLD UNLEASHED tiein. Not too often does an issue suprise me like
this one did with what happened to the Spellbinder. I thought this issue
to be one of the better UU titles I've read and recommend it heartily.
The art work was good and the story itself was what made this one good! B

Fate #13

Funny how this title has survived along with Starman as the only books
to make it after Zero Hour. While this story had a better feel to it
than the #0 issue I read so long ago, I still can't seem to get into it.
Alan Scott's appearance was refreshing as he's the only former GL I
don't really know that much about but all in all this book was a
snoozer!    C

Impulse #8

I don't normally pick this one up but I've heard alot of good things about
the book and it being an Underworld tiein gave me the opprotunity to check
it out again! :) It did not dissapoint! Of all the charged up baddies,
Blockbuster is one of the more interesting ones in my book! It also made
me consider picking this book up more often!   B

JLA #105

THe one complaint that I have with this title is the excess of story in
the time you have to tell it! I prefer a more focused storyline but we
have at least 2 seperate stories trying to vie for the 23 or so pages
and it seems a bit crammed! I'm not saying the story is bad but it could
be better if focused on properly!   C+

Legionnaires #31

The final part of Future Tense was one of the better books I've read in
a while as is the whole story arc. The humor in this title had me
chuckling the entire book and makes me hope that we have another cross
between the 30th century and the kid of Steel!  A

New Gods #2

Orion Vs Darseid and one of em doesn't make it! :) a pretty good issue
though I it's not one of those that generate much thought or
conversation for something that should do so.....  B-

Power of Shazam #9

OK! I'm the first to admit that I am not a Shazam fan. However this
story has made me a little less antigonistic toward the characters as
you can't help but care for Billy & co. While the sugar level in this
book could keep me up all night, I recommend this title for it's
excellent storyline.    B

Shadow of the Bat #44

While I like this title normally, I am not a fan of Barry Kitson. I have the
feeling that this story has a lead in to the upcoming Detective #700 so I'd
get it only for the story value.   C-

The Ray #18

Once again this is one of those books that you need to read much of the
series to understand what's going on!  I have been trying to catch up
here and the more I read, the more I begin to like this title! The only
thing that bugs me is the fact that Ray is about the most dense
individual I have ever seen! :)   C+

UU: Apokolips Drk. Up.

This one shot was pretty forgetable in my book. I am just now getting
used to all the characters involved with New Gods and frankly I'll need
to read some more before I even begin to care about anyone in this book.
Yeah they're all baddies but even bad guys should be interesting!   C

[10] 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.
