Besides the newsgroups in the r.a.c hierarchy, you can also subscribe to
various mailing lists on specific topics (sort of like a mini-newsgroup)
and have messages sent to your email address.
You can subscribe to any of the following mailing lists by emailing a
request to the appropriate email address. Please note that the appropriate
address for subscribing and unsubscribing is often different from the
address of the list itself, that is, the address to which one does the
equivalent of "posting" articles.
"comics-l", a listserv discussion list
to subscribe, send a request to: listserv@unlvm.unl.edu
(address of list itself:
Comics-L@unlvm.unl.edu or Comics-L@unlvm.BITNET)
"non-mainstream" comics
to subscribe: comix-request@world.std.com
List of new comics released each week
to subscribe: jcowling@sol.UVic.CA
Cerebus mailing list
to subscribe: mail majordomo@erzo.berkeley.edu with the following
message body (not subject):
subscribe cerebi
to unsubscribe: mail to the same address with the body:

to post to the list, mail to cerebi@erzo.berkeley.edu
Gunk'l'dunk : moderated newsletter for fans of _Tales_Of_The_Beanworld_

Omnicom: the Online Legion of Super-Heroes APA (LSH mailing list)
send your email address and a subscription request to:
omnicom-list-request@andrew.cmu.edu
[info provided by Vernon H Harmon vh00+@andrew.cmu.edu]
Disney comics mailing list
to subscribe: disney-comics-request@student.docs.uu.se (Per
Starback)
Poison Elves mailing list
n8943689@henson.cc.wwu.edu
Small Press mailing list
to subscribe: small-press-request@world.std.com
(small-press@world.std.com)
This mailing list deals in part with small press comics,
although be warned that it also deals with zines, small book
publishers, small magazine publishers, literary journals, and so
forth. The list tends to be more aimed at publishing and getting
published (and getting copies from people who publish), than it is
about content.
There is also a newsgroup "alt.zines".
Valiant Visions newsletter
About Valient Comics. To join, send email to the editor, Chris
Vitek, at cvitek@drew.drew.edu
2000AD mailing list
About the British comics weekly, which has a regular Judge Dredd
feature and other character features as well. Many of DC's "Brit
Pack" started out here. Email the editor at windigo@coplex.com
Bone mailing list
About Jeff Smith's Bone comic, a wonderful book for all ages
which has consistently gotten excellent word of mouth review
among both r.a.c. types and many creators.
To be added to the list send email to:
majordomo@erzo.berkeley.edu
with the phrase:
subscribe bone your-email-address-here
in the body of the letter (not the subject).
Comic Art Studies
A newsletter from the Russel B. Nye Popular Culture Collection at
Michigan State University, home of one of the best publically
accessible comics collections in the country. Not really a
discussion list, this is an electronic version of the quarterly
hardcopy newsletter. To subscribe contact Pete Coogan at
cooganpe@student.msu.edu
Back issues are available via FTP at teetot.acusd.edu in the
directory /pub/Beelzebub/Comics/About_Comics. See Part 5 of these
Welcome messages for more information about FTP and this site.
Superguy
Superguy is a mailing list devoted to interactive adventure fiction,
of both humorous and serious types. It is an open, unmonitored list,
which allows anyone to post anything they wish. However, as our
stated purpose is entertaining fiction, posts not connected with
that fiction or discussing the group itself are frowned on. There
are several different universes, including the Superguy universe,
a superheroic satire.
I'm personally not familiar with it, but it seems similar to the
LNH with established characters and plotlines. Before posting, one
should get a copy of their FAQ. To subcribe, send the message
SUBSCRIBE SUPERGUY to listproc@pegasus.cc.ucf.edu while submissions
to the list should go to superguy@pegasus.cc.ucf.edu
