time that makes me feel glad to be agnostic and poor...
Besides, all my money goes into buying stuff like this:
pg 33
DARK HORSE

After a victory against the Neko Ninja, Usagi and Jotaro travel to Kitanjoi
Temple, where they plan to part ways. But when the pair encounter an

pg 109
DC COMICS
Looney Tunes #111 - $2.25 - order #DEC030293
Bugs helps Yosemite Sam catch the Loch Ness Monster, while Daffy gets
adopted by apes... who don't want him. Better than the movie.
Scooby-Doo #81 - $2.25 - order #DEC030295
The gang investigates stories of an extinct animal on the loose. Turns out
it's an honest politician. And Shaggy has trouble at the local haunted
accupuncturist. You'd think dealing with Blue Cross would be scary enough.
pg 111
Thundercats: Hammerhand's Revenge #5 - $2.95 - order #DEC030306
The mini-series comes to an end, as the Thundercats and the Griffins attack
Hammerhand's ship. Ships with two different covers to take advantage of the
stupidity and greed of comics speculators.
pg 206
ANTARCTIC PRESS
Gold Digger #50 - $2.99 - order #DEC032120 & 2121
Because of the second series, this is technically the 100th issue of Gold
Digger. Comes with two covers, one by Fred Perry, and one rather boring one
that just has "#50" and "100th Issue" on it. Ask for the Perry cover.
pg 214
ASTONISH COMICS
Herobear and The Kid: Saving Time #1 - $3.50 - order #DEC032182
Tyler and the white wonder return in a new story, as the mysterious Von Klon
goes after the butler, Henry. This will ship with three different covers,
one by Tim Sale, one by Humberto Ramos and one by series creator Mike
Kunkel. I wonder how he movie is going...
pg 218
AVATAR PRESS
Mark Millar's The Unfunnies #3 - $3.50 - order #DEC032195 & 2196
Comes with regular and offensive covers. And no taste.
pg 291
GEMSTONE PUBLISHING
Again, I cannot list everything in these books here, as I'd be typing for a

All these are $2.95 24-page black-and-white floppies except as noted.
Most are peripherally furry (funny, feathery, plastronic), but do check
out the first one.

A FINE LINE
DEC032001F NEW SOULS STINZ BOSOM ENEMIES #3 FLIPBOOK TP 192pg,
$19.95
by Donna Barr
'Donna Barr is publishing Stinz/Bosom Enemies as a reversible special. .
. . 103 pages of Stinz. Turn it over for 64 pages of Bosom Enemies. With
two covers, it's 192-some pages of Barr-y goodness!' I don't know where
the other 25 pages come from. Both parts have lots of backstory, but
given their infrequency, I imagine Barr makes the stories comprehensible
for newcomers.
Stinz is mayor of a community of half-horses (*don't* call them
centaurs!) from the Geiselthal in Bavaria. Barr has been doing Stinz
stories for over fifteen years now, first in *Centaurs Gatherum* and
then from Fantagraphics, Brave New Words, MU, and now her own imprint.
It's a rich and often grim world, in which Stinz was drafted for a war
like WWI, the only non-two-legger in his unit, and came home when
everything fell apart. Highly recommended.
‘Bosom Enemies' started as a short piece in Jim Groat's anthology series
*Morphs*, expanded into two 64-page paperbacks from A Fine Line Press in
1999 and 2001. In this fantasy an American and a German soldier find
themselves in an underground world where they have been turned into
‘turbs' (human above the waist, hands useless, two horse legs below),
draft beasts to horse-headed humans. It's a pretty dark story of slavery
and slaughter, worth reading.

ANTARCTIC PRESS
DEC032122E LEGENDS FROM DARKWOOD #3 (of 4) 40pg, $3.50
by Christopher Reid & John Kantz
'While Ira investigates the origin of Moore and his fantastic
meat-packing operation, the unicorns plan an attack on their poachers.'
There are reportedly funny animals somewhere in this, so I include it.
PAGE 213
ARCHIE COMIC PUBLICATIONS
DEC032165E SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #133 color, 32pg, $2.19
Two stories: '"Home Part 4: Finale" (by Karl Bollers, Steven Butler, &

DEC032362F RQW #3 $2.95

'Picking up on last issue's cliffhanger, the Owls live up to their

Gah, I knew I forgot the Turtles, but I should kick myself for missing the
Donna Barr piece. Be sure to crosspost this to Flayrah, will you?
