[1] On the Net by David LeBlanc
The answer to the question about Stefan Petrucha's ESC <escape> is in
Comic Shop News #470 this week. It is a 4 issue limited series from
Comic. It is supposed to be out starting late June at $2.95.
This week brought a few things to the mailbox worth mentioning. You'll
see my review of STEVEN'S COMICS #3, a Xeric Foundation winner by David
Kelly. I got the Innocent Bystander newsletter #1 as well, which makes
mention of our review of IB #2 and give the URL to our website, thanks
Gary. I also got some advanced photocopies from my friend Angelo Furlan
of his next project called STUF. If you think Catfish is just about sexy
super heroes and the like this will correct that thought. More about
that another time.
CBG this week had the finalists for the Fan Awards which as I type this
will be awarded tonight in Chicago. You can bet we'll have the winners
list next time around. Also, this CBG had the Comic Club list which I
thought had been discontinued. Don't be confused by our listing as it
still carries the old Web page address. We'll correct that before they
run it again.
I decided to include Jeff Mason's latest contribution to finding your
way around the Comic Industry, his "Resource Guide". This is a listing
of various media companies, and people that might be helpful to those
who need to make those contacts to promote product or for any reason.
Lastly, we see another giant of the industry pass from this world. I
was saddened to learn of the death of *the* Superman artist in my mind.
I speak of course of Curt Swan. Having grown up with comics in the 60's
and 70's it was Swan who defined the Man of Steel as well as the Legion
of Super Heroes for me. His style to this day is instantly recognizable
and those who admire the flash in the pan gone in a year or two hot
artist would do well to study the technique of this most respected artist
of long standing. He has given me something that lives on, even past his
own time with us - the memory of Superman will always be a Curt Swan
picture in my mind. Thanks for that Curt, and God rest your soul.

Subject: I'm connected again!
Finally, I'm hooked up to a decent provider again! And I've got
an OFF-LINE READER!!!!!!!
Just so you're warned, I'll be popping a copy of STUF #1 in the
mail for you on Monday. The book itself won't be solicited 'til
October, so there's still time for changes in the text, and I plan on
making a few changes. I'd be interested in any feedback from you.
[Got it in the mail on Friday and a quick glance looks pretty good. Who
did the art?]
Also, I'll be going to the Chicago Con next weekend. Now that I
can FINALLY send real mail again, I wonder if you'd like me to report
back on the Con for you? I'm sure I can find a few moments in my busy
schedule to churn out a few words. :>
Angelo Furlan Writer/Creator of SINNAMON, BRUISER, STUF, and whatever
else we can find money to publish.
[How can I turn down an offer like that? Angelo Furlan *is* Catfish
Comics and I hope some of you catch him at the Convention. I'll be
waiting for his report to put in a future issue. Anyone going to San
Diego want to volunteer to send in a report of your adventures? I love
reading those things since I don't get to the big ones, and I'm sure
others will enjoy the vicarious thrill as well.]

Subject: Re: CBEM #63
Dave,
Some questions.
1) What is the address to CBG?
2) What is the address to CSN?
3) Did you get a telnetable site?
I am wanting to get the CSN and CBG, but no place around here carries it.

One year subscription is $36.95 MUCH cheaper than buying it at
retail every week for $2.95 each.($153.40). If you write to them
and ask they WILL send a sample issue for you to check out.
CSN is only available through retailers, they do not have subscriptions.
You can write them @
Comic Shop News

Marietta, Georgia 30066
or cliffbig@netdepot.com http://www.actwin.com/csn
>3) Did you get a telnetable site?
Not yet.
>I am wanting to get the CSN and CBG, but no place around here carries it.
No choice on CSN but you would be better off getting CBG by mail.

I was wondering what you need to run an e-mag. Can someone like me with
a text editor, and Internet e-mail(only) access do it? and would I need
a different offline reader to cross post the messages? I've been
thinking about starting one & since the CBEM is a good one I figured
you'd be a good person to ask. thanks!
