Welcome to the rec.arts.comics hierarchy, or as we tend to call it, rac.
If you're new to Usenet, you probably aren't aware of the many customs that
the net and the rec.arts.comics.* hierarchy have developed over many years.
It's important that you become aware of them though, thus these postings.
Breaking these customs won't cost you anything but the most important thing
you've got on the net: your credibility. It's assumed that you're reading
and posting to newsgroups to communicate with other people, and violating
these customs will tend to make most people take your posts less seriously,
or even start to ignore them all together. Which isn't much help in your
attempts to communicate with others.
This monthly posting, provided to help out new readers of the
rec.arts.comics newsgroups, contains the following parts:
1. where to read/post: the rec.arts.comics hierarchy and related newsgroups
2. glossary of some common terms
3. the FAQ: answers to frequently-asked questions
4. netiquette guidelines for posting articles
5. general information about Internet resources
6. index of Internet comics resources in parts 7-10
7. Internet comics resources A-C
8. Internet comics resources D-M
9. Internet comics resources N-St
10. Internet comics resources Su-Z
Before getting specific about rec.arts.comics.*, if you are a newcomer to
Usenet you should go read six posts which are found in the newsgroup
news.announce.newusers. These have the Subject:s of:

If not in n.a.n., these are available via FTP from rtfm.mit.edu. See part 4
for specific commands to access them, both by FTP and by email.
You should also be reading the newsgroup news.newusers.questions.

The r.a.c set of newsgroups, in general, is devoted to the discussion of comic
books, graphic novels, and sequential art.
Until summer 1992, comics discussion took place in the group rec.arts.comics.
This group was removed and should not be posted to. r.a.c. was replaced by
the following more specific groups:
rec.arts.comics.info: A moderated group, r.a.c.i. is intended for factual
and informational postings and reasonably detailed reviews (i.e. a review
consisting entirely of "I really liked/hated Suicide Squid #666" isn't going
to cut it). Relatively low volume, the idea is to have a very high signal to
noise ratio in its postings. Posting to this group will result in your post
being emailed to the moderator, who'll decide whether to post it to the group
at large. In general, turnaround time is within 24 hours, and the moderator
announces on the group if he'll not be posting for any longer period.
Followup discussion of posts here takes place in the appropriate r.a.c. group.
The original moderator was Brian Hughes. The current moderator is "Scowling"
Jim Cowling whose email address is comics-in...@cyberstore.ca
rec.arts.comics.strips: For the discussion of comic strips and editorial
cartoons, their creators, and any spinoffs such as tv, movies, collections, or
merchandise.
rec.arts.comics.xbooks: For discussion of Marvel mutant books (defined as
X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, X-Force, X-Factor, Excalibur, Wolverine, X-Men 2099,
Generation X, and any mini-series or stories in anthology titles about
characters from those books). Note that xbooks has its own FAQ.
rec.arts.comics.marketplace: For the posting of For Sale and Wanted posts
dealing with any aspect of comics or related merchandise. Note that
marketplace has its own FAQ. One aspect of rac.mp that newcomers may find
unusual is the practice of undercutting. This is when a post is followed up by
another post offering the same items, but at a lower price. A November 1994
poll showed overwhelming support for this practice, as 91% of the respondants
were in favor of it.
rec.arts.comics.creative: For the posting of fan fiction, such as stories of
the Legion of Net.Heroes and the Net.Trenchcoat.Brigade. The group's charter
states: This newsgroup is to be available for people who want to post
comic-related fiction and discussions about them. Writers are encouraged to
follow the existing continuity of the "universe" in which their stories take
place. (Writers can have their stories take place in a "universe" that is
entirely their own but this would mean that any "cross-overs" with other
storylines would have to be considered "out of continuity".) This group is
*not* intended as a place for posting stories using current characters from
actual comic books as this would constitute trademark and possible copyright
infringement.
rec.arts.comics.alternative: For discussion of alternative comics. The topic
of what determines whether or not a comic is alternative is always good for
long debates. For the purposes of rac.alternative, the following criteria are
specified in its charter for determining whether a comic should be posted
about here or in rec.arts.comics.misc: 1) Is not published by the chief
imprint of the biggest mainstream companies (DC, Marvel, Image, Valiant,
Archie and Disney). 2) Could not be bought at a convenience store or a
newsstand. These two are required. Chief imprint allows for alternative
comics published by subsidiary imprints such as Vertigo or Epic. e.g.
Moonshadow, or Everyman, or Mr. Punch, etc. rac.alternative appropriate comics
are also determined by having a majority of the following qualities: 1)
Published in black and white. 2) Published in small circulations (roughly
less than 10 of the index currently used by the major distributors which is
posted monthly to rac.info by Matt High). 3) Published by the smaller
publishers (i.e. are not delineated above) or self-published. 4) Creator
owned. If a comic doesn't obviously belong in any other group, including
rec.arts.comics.alternative, it should be discussed in the rac.misc group. If
you can't really tell by the checklist whether a comic belongs in
rac.alternative, then don't discuss it there; if you can tell, then discuss
away. Please note that the snob argument of "It's too good to be mainstream,
even if it doesn't fulfill the qualifications given here" is *not* an
acceptable criteria for discussing a book in this group.
rec.arts.comics.misc: If it's about comics and doesn't fit in the above
groups, this is where to post it.
In general, there should be almost no crossposting between the above groups.
r.a.c. has taken the approach of developing a hierarchy based on carving off
well defined subtopics with their own semi-defined readerships from the
overall topic. In particular, all "for sale" posts should go in
rec.arts.comics.marketplace, and crossposting them elsewhere is *highly*
discouraged. (A number of r.a.c.ers have stated that they will ignore For
Sale posts made in other groups, and it'll undoubtedly result in your getting
some flaming email.) One other special note: material solely about xbooks
should be posted into r.a.c.xbooks and should not be crossposted into
r.a.c.misc.
See part 3 for suggested criteria for future r.a.c.* groups.
Note that posts which have nothing to do with comics, such as
non-comics-related Star Trek, political/religious rants or personal attacks,
have no place in r.a.c.. In particular, regarding the Usenet Floating
Homosexuality Flamewar, it is appropriate for the appearance of gays in comics
to be discussed, but rants either against or in favor of homosexuality in the
general sense are not appropriate.
There are several groups which are tangentially related to comics, and which
may be more appropriate for a particular post. It *may* be appropriate, in
limited contexts, to cross-post between one of these groups and one of the
rec.arts.comics groups, but be *very* careful that your post is actually
relevant to both groups!
rec.arts.manga: Though not technically part of the rec.arts.comics hierarchy
(there was already one religious war on the subject; let's not repeat it),
this newsgroup is devoted to the discussion of Japanese manga.
rec.arts.animation: a newsgroup devoted to the discussion of animated films,
TV shows, shorts, etc. There are also innumerable related newsgroups to this,
such as rec.arts.disney and alt.tv.tiny-toons, but in particular there is:
rec.arts.anime: for discussion of Japanese animation.
Finally, there are various "alt" groups which are not affiliated with
"mainstreaml" Usenet and are usually received at fewer sites than r.a.c
groups. User discretion is advised.
alt.comics.alternative dead, with the creation of r.a.c.alternative. Due to
various factors which aren't worth going into here,
the group itself is unlikely to disappear. Don't
bother posting to it though.
alt.comics.lnh Stories and discussion of the Legion of Net.Heroes
shared universe (most stories are also posted to
rec.arts.comics.creative).
alt.comics.superman use r.a.c.misc instead, for more dependable
distribution; at the very least, crosspost
alt.comics.batman use r.a.c.misc instead, for more dependable
distribution; at the very least, crosspost
alt.comics.elfquest use r.a.c.misc instead, for more dependable
distribution; at the very least, crosspost
alt.comics.classic use r.a.c.misc instead, for more dependable
distribution; at the very least, crosspost
alt.comics.peanuts use r.a.c.strips instead, for more dependable
distribution; at the very least, crosspost
alt.fan.albedo a furry comic
alt.fan.bugtown Matt Howarth comics, such as _Those Annoying Post
Brothers_ and _Savage Henry_.
alt.fan.furry all furry comics + animation
alt.fan.suicide-squid a net.character, see part 3 for details
alt.fan.tank-girl the comic book "Tank Girl"

General Usenet terms:
AOL
America On-Line, a commercial on-line service which provides Usenet access.
bandwidth
analogous to a radio bandwidth (frequency), referring to the resources
needed to propagate posts. Usually used in the phrase "stop wasting
bandwidth", which means simply "don't post if you don't have anything
relevant to say."
btw
by the way
CIS
Compuserve, a commercial on-line service which provides Usenet access.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions; topics which have come up repeatedly with
answers to try to avoid having them come up again. See part 3.
flame
an inflammatory, insulting post. See also entry in r.a.c. specific section.
flame war
a flame response to a flame responding to a flame...
FYI
for your information
IMHO
in my humble (or honest) opinion
IMPO
in my personal (or pompous) opinion
kill file
a file usable in the "rn" and "nn" news programs that one can keep to
"filter out" disliked topics, keywords, or posters
LOL
Laughing Out Loud. To the compiler of this FAQ, an unfortunate migration
from BBS land to indicate that you thought a post was funny. See ROFL.
newbie
[General] anyone new to Usenet or a particular newsgroup.
[Specific] anyone who makes a netiquette mistake showing that they've not
bothered to learn the customs of either Usenet or the newsgroup they're
posting to.
ROFL
Rolling On Floor Laughing. To the compiler of this FAQ, an unfortunate
migration from BBS land to indicate that you thought a post was *really*
funny. See LOL.
September
Traditionally the time the net sees an influx of newbies as college
freshlings get accounts. This is now distinguished as Actual September (the
actual month of September) and Virtual September, which occurs when a pay
service such as AOL or Compuserve causes a large number of newbies to gain
access to Usenet. There is also the theory that Septemeber 1993 never ended,
and the net is now in a state of Perpetual September.
signal-to-noise ratio
in a newsgroup, the proportion of useful articles to useless ones (such as
flames). We like to keep the signal relatively high and the noise very low.
SOL

Web
See WWW
wrt
with respect to
WWW
World Wide Web, a hypertext linked system of information resources.
See part 5 of the Welcome message for more information.
:-)
a "smiley", used to indicate humor or sarcasm
SPECIFIC R.A.C TERMS:
ashcan
a half-sized (4" x 5"), typically black and white, promotional copy of a
comic book. Originally, ashcans were produced to claim trademarks. Today,
ashcans are produced more as a promotion than to gain guardianship of
intellectual property.
Bizarro Squiddy
The sillier and more net oriented annual r.a.c. awards. See "Squiddy" for
more detail. Formerly known as the Alternative Squiddy, but changed to avoid
confusion with alt.comics.alternative
CBG
Comic Buyers' Guide, a weekly newspaper
comix
independent, non-mainstream comics, such as Yummy Fur or Desert Peach.
Crisis
the Crisis on Infinite Earths (usually). (See the Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQ) in part 3)
CSN
Comic Shop News, a free weekly hype sheet
dangling plotline/dangler
an unresolved plotline or mystery which an author has apparently forgotten
about, since it hasn't been mentioned in a long time.
fanboy/fangirl/otaku
a rabidly devoted fan, often said to be "drooling". This can be used in a
general sense, or a specific sense, such as X-Men fanboy, Sandgirl, Image
fanboy, etc.
flame
As in "Keeper of the * flame" where * is replaced by a comics character or
series, such as "Keeper of the Suicide Squid flame". Indicates a strong
liking for that particular character/series, with said character/series
usually being currently in limbo. Or in other words, a not often seen
character or series that the person wishes would get more exposure/be
brought back. Originated by Dwayne MacKinnon as Keeper of the Alpha Flight
flame.
fourth wall
originally used with reference to stage sets, this term refers to the
imaginary wall between the characters and the audience. "Breaking the
fourth wall" refers to comics in which the characters are aware that they
exist in a comic book, sometimes for the purpose of humor.
furry
an anthropomorphic animal, such as Mickey Mouse, Cerebus, or Omaha
JLA, JLE, JLI, EJ, JL
the DC super-hero groups "Justice League America", "Justice League Europe",
"Justice League International", "Extreme Justice", "Justice League"
L*
Shorthand for the DC comic title Legionnaires, to distinguish it from
the title LSH.
LNH
Legion of Net Heroes, a parody of sorts of...
LSH
Legion of Super-heroes (a DC comic book)
PAD
Peter A. David, a comics writer known to read r.a.c
patch
see retcon
phonebook
name for the collections of 20-25 issues of Cerebus, so called because
they're the thickness of the phonebook for a large city. Sometimes applied
to other hefty collections, but most often to Cerebus.
pod person/pod
a character who has been taken over by a new writer and/or editor and
immediately acts very inconsistently with previous characterization, with no
explanation given for the change, and no change noticed by other characters
in the book. The term is from the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers,
where aliens grew duplicates of people in giant pods. First use of 'pod' was
in reference to the changeover after Keith Giffen left the JLI titles,
concerning the characters Fire, Ice, Max, and Oberon.
pogs/milk caps
Round, approximately 1-2.5 inches in diameter, and cardboard, pogs are the
element of a game from Hawaii. While the game involves stacking the pogs
and flipping another to knock them over, on the continent in recent months,
they have simply become another alternative to trading cards, bearing art
and/or text concerning super-heroes. Many here consider pogs on the
mainland an example of a manufactured fad.
post-Crisis
events/history/characters in the DC Universe as they existed *after* the
Crisis on Infinite Earths. (See the "Frequently-Asked Questions" section in
part 3.)
pre-Crisis
events/history/characters in the DC Universe as they existed *prior* to the
Crisis on Infinite Earths. (See the "Frequently-Asked Questions" section in
part 3.)
retcon
To retroactively change the continuity of a character or title. (This term,
a r.a.c favorite, was coined by Damian Cugley. It is a shortening and, at
times, a verbification of the Roy Thomas popularized term "retroactive
continuity". That term appears to have first been used in a letter column in
All-Star Squardron #18, where Thomas writes that he heard it at a
convention) Originally, the term "retcon" was used only in cases where the
interpretation of "facts" from earlier stories is changed, but the facts
themselves are preserved. For example, Alan Moore took took Swamp Thing,
previously considered to be a man transformed into a plant creature, and
with minimal changes to facts presented in previous stories, wrote Swamp
Thing to be a "plant elemental", one of a long line of such beings.
A "patch" was the term used (taken from programmer's jargon) to mean an
actual change, rather than merely filling in details.
These days, however, "retcon" is used increasingly to mean changes to
history as well as to retroactive continuity. So, to "retcon" is to change
history, so that something that had existed in the continuity of the
fictional universe, not ONLY doesn't exist now, but in the fictional
history, NEVER HAS existed. This can be true of an event, of a character,
or whatever. For example, if Hawkman appears in the Justice League, and
then years later a writer decides that "No, Hawkman just came to Earth, he
was *never* in the Justice League," that's a retcon.
Retcon is also listed in the New Hacker's Dictionary, with credit given to
r.a.c.. In the second edition, this is disputed. In the third edition,
should there be one, there will likely be a dispute of the dispute...
spoiler
any item which "gives away" information about a comic. Proper netiquette is
to give a "Spolier Warning" first, to allow people to avoid the spoiler if
they wish to not have their surprise ruined.
Squiddy
what some people call the annual r.a.c. Awards. See section 3 for why this
is the case. These are the more formal and serious categories.
Suicide Squid
See the FAQ in part 3.
TMNT
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
xbooks
comics in the X-Men family line
Zero Hour
DC Universe redefining mini-series. See the FAQ in part 3.

Numerous other information sources are listed in parts 7-10, and should

1. Why not split off a new group for Marvel/Sandman/comix/etc?
I'm leaving the current answer up for the next few months, until things settle
down in the next month or two. However, here's the current split status: A
straw poll in November '94 found strong support for creating DC and Marvel
universe groups, and majority support for Elfquest, Legion of Super-Heroes,
and Other-Media. An CFV (Call for Votes) has gone out for rac.marvel.universe,
rac.dc.universe, rac.elfquest, and rac.other-media, and will conclude on April
10th. Soon, an RFD (Request for Discussion) for rac.[dc.]vertigo,
rac.[dc.]lsh, and renaming rac.xbooks to rac.marvel.xbooks will go out, with
the final names of the first two, and whether the xbooks rename actually goes
to a vote, based on whether racdu and/or racmu are created. Any other new
group proposals are strongly urged to wait until this reorg vote is completed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This is a highly flammable topic of debate. Several dozen splits have been
suggested over the past few years. Only three (rac.strips, the rac re-org,
and rac.creative) succeeded. Many readers would still prefer going back to a
single r.a.c with no subgroups. Here is an incomplete list of previously
rejected ideas:
rac.superhero battlin' guys wearing tights. Failed in the 1992 vote;
also ambiguous (define superhero. be aware that we've
got *lots* of ambiguous characters by any definition
so far).
rac.marvel/dc company-based splits have failed several previous
votes. In November 1993, a straw poll had both groups
fail to achieve a majority, much less the needed
2/3rds vote. A general other companies split question
got only a 30% positive response.
rac.vertigo/image both suggested in late 1992, told to wait a while until
they exhibit long term stability.
rac.mature implies other comics are immature. ambiguous.
rac.adult implies sexually-explicit material. ambiguous.
rac.sandman Sandman is ending as a regular series within two years.
Empheral groups like this are very unlikely to pass.
rac.other-media Comics characters in non-comics media such as tv, movies,
prose, and toys. Failed in February '94 due to lack of
a 100 vote margin (generally people thought this was
a reasonable split proposal, but it didn't work up enough
enthusiasm to pass)
In the November '93 poll, only 38% indicated there was *any* non-company
based or non-rac.creative split they would support...and since
rac.other-media was first proposed during the poll period, it's likely the
percentage is even lower.
Splits are not impossible, though-- the r.a.c hierarchy *was* created. But
any further split would have to be very well justified. Attempt them at
your own risk (buy lots of asbestos). If you want your proposal to have
a chance, it should meet the following criteria:
- Is the group easily and clearly defined (i.e. given any post, would it
go in the new group or an existing one)
- Is it sufficiently different from existing groups?
- Will a fair number of people *not* want to read the new group or stop
reading the old group it's split off from?
(there's no point in splitting off a new group if most people will
read both the old group and the new group)
- Is current group traffic too high? Will the split reduce it?
- Will the topic die off in a few years, leaving us a redundant group?
(Usenet reality is that groups aren't easy to get rid of, so groups
which are about transitory topics are unlikely to pass)
- Is there sufficient traffic already about the topic? (Usenet does not
work on the "Field of Dreams principle" of "If you build it they will
come". There has to be existing evidence of traffic)
- Will at least 2/3rds, not a majority, of voters want to create it?
- Can you convince thousands of people you are not a raving loon?
Please note: r.a.c. has seen a lot of split discussion over the years.
Particularly given the poll results, anyone who proposes a split similar to
the ones listed above other than rac.other-media before around November 1994
will likely get posted and emailed responses on the order of "Not AGAIN!"
While things may change over time, there's strong evidence that of the ones
listed, only other-media has any reasonable chance of succeeding at this time.
2. Where can I get JPEG/GIFs or other scanned comics art?
With a few exceptions (Generation X #1, Cerebus: Operation Crazed Ferret, etc.
all described in Parts 7-10 of these Welcome messages), you won't find that
information here. It is illegal to post or make available for FTP scanned in
copyrighted art (the by far most common requests being for same). Yes, it's
against copyright even if no one makes money off of it. Yes, it's against
copyright even if you *really* want it and don't have a scanner to make your
own fair use copy. Before posting about this or other copyright related
issues, you are urged to read the misc.legal copyright FAQ or Brad Templeton's
10 Common Copyright Myths post in news.announce.newusers as past evidence has
shown that most people do *not* understand even the basics of copyright law,
let alone the nuances. Hint: If the words "Berne Convention" have no meaning
to you, you're not aware that under it any work is automatically copyrighted
as soon as it is in a fixed form, and you think whether the copy is made for a
profit matters in terms of violating copyright, you're ignorant of the
topic and need to read up on it before posting.
Note: there are people watching for this. An r.a.c.er got a cease and desist
email, with a cc: to Marvel, from a Berkeley Systems representative when he
posted images taken from Berkeley's Marvel Screen Saver. Many companies have

A3. Are there pros on the net?
Yes. Lots of them.
First let's get the three people who sometimes post here who are likely to be
mistaken for comics pros out of the way. If you see a post by Art Adams, Kevin
Maguire, or Michael Collins, as of the latest update of this FAQ it is *not*
by the comics creator of that same name, but rather by people who happen to
share the name in real life (i.e. they are not trying to be confusing by
assuming an alias).
The first pro on the net was probably Henry Vogel of the late, lamented,
Southern Knights. He's not been on for a few years, but one scene in the
Knights involving breaking into a computer used an r.a.c.er's name and site as
username and password.
For a number of years, the only pro on was Peter David. He's worked a number
of net references into his work, including a reference to Suicide Squid in the
dialogue of Spider-Man 2099 #20, page 3 and the following from one of his
Psi-Man books, written under the pen name of David Peters:
"Chuck was impressed to see the latest hardware rolling his way--the
computer aided RAC 3000, Ultraflame Model.....'What does RAC stand for?' he
asked."
"Really Awesome Car."
"'Oh.' He shrugged. Obviously a name developed by people in marketing."
Not to mention individual netters who have shown up as characters in his
comics and novel work (Star Trek #4 in the current DC run includes the FAQ
maintainer as an Admiral in charge of Starbase 24, for example, and Jeff
Meyer and Jerry Boyajian have shown up as security guards in Classic Trek,
ST:TNG, ST:DS9, and the Hulk). It's considered bad form to ask for him to do
this for you.
Starting in late '93, a lot of other pros started coming onto the net, in
addition to a few others who came on after Peter but before then. A probably
incomplete list includes, in alphabetical order: Scott Adams, Steve Addlesee,
Bill Amend, Chuck Austen, Mark Badger, Kyle Baker, Ward Batty, Cliff Biggers,
Steve Blevins, Joyce Brabner, Tom Brevoort, Fred Burke, Louis Bright-Raven,
Steve Campbell, Cedrick Chan, Bernard Chang, Dan Chichester, Steve Conley,
Rebecca Dart, Dwight Decker, John Dennett, Evan Dorkin, Diane Duane, Ben Dunn,
Sarah Dyer, Mark Evanier, Kevin Fitzpatrick, Steve Gallacci, Steve Gerber,
Dave Gibbons, Clay Griffith, Phil Hall, Matt Hawkins, Mike Heisler, Matt High,
Jay Hosler, Marie Javins, Patty Jeres, Jimmy Johnson, Rich Johnston, Matthew
Kelleigh, Jeff Lang, Jim Lee, Christian Lichtner, Steve Lieber, Randy and
Jean-Marc Lofficier, Roland Mann, Jose Marzan Jr., Scott McCloud, Dwayne
McDuffie, Larry Merrill, Will Murray, Fabian Nicieza, Teresa Nielsen-Hayden,
Kris Overstreet, Tom Peyer, Richard Pini, Dave Rawson, Jon Ney Rieber, John
Rozum, Scott Saavedra, Dez Skinn, Walt Simonson, Len Strazewski, Garry
Trudeau, Gary Upshaw, Dan Vado, Ivan Velez, Martin Wagner, Mark Waid, Lawrence
Watt-Evans, Bob Wayne, Mack White, Bebe Williams, Elin Winkler, Paul Witcover,
and Wayne Wong. Neil Gaiman is occasionally forwarded posts about Sandman,
but is not directly on the net.
IMPORTANT!: Unless you know the pro doesn't mind, do *not* send email to a pro
posting from a Compuserve address. Compuserve, and Compuserve only, charges the
recipiant of email from the Internet $.15 for each such message. It's rather
gauche to make someone pay to read fan mail you send them, don't you think?
This list of pros consists of those who have posted on some group in the
rec.arts.comics or alt.comics hierarchies or have stated to the FAQ maintainer
that they are lurking in same. A pro is defined as people who have been paid
for creating (including editing) comics, are employed by a comics company, or
do significant work for publications about comics. If a pro is active
elsewhere on the net, but not in these hierarchies, they're not listed. If
they are a pro in some other creative field, but haven't done pro comics work,
they're not listed.
The following etiquette has developed around the presence of pros. First off,
they are under no more obligation to read or answer posts than any other
r.a.c.er. It's nice if they do, but they're not paid to do so any more than
anyone else here. It's also considered bad form to ask a question specifically
of a pro about a book or topic with which they have no special association, as
opposed to a general query to the newsgroup. For example, it's fine to ask
Peter David a question about the Hulk since he writes it, but not about the
Superman books since he doesn't and hasn't written them and has no special
knowledge of them.
There are, unfortunately, fairly common debates about whether r.a.c.ers
either suck up to or gratuitously flame pros. Probably both are true to an
extent. In general, most r.a.c.ers feel that efforts should be made to treat
pros the same as other r.a.c.ers. Just as you wouldn't gush at or insult a
non-pro poster, you shouldn't do it just because the poster has had work
published. Unfortunately, there are some people who apparently take pleasure
in the chance to flame, either by post or email, pros who appear here. Please
note that the majority of people here are *not* like that, and we don't
appreciate that type of behavior. However, note that this does not mean that
a pro's work may not be criticized; that's considered fair game.
For pros who are both particularly active on r.a.c. and who generate a high
volume of queries or comments about their work, a convention has developed to
call their attention to such posts. Prefix the Subject: of such posts with
their initials, logins, or last names in all capital letters, followed by a
colon. For example, if you wanted to address a query to Peter David, you'd
have: Subject: PAD: When will Aquaman encounter Suicide Squid?
The ones this seems to happen with are:
Dan Chichester: DGCHI:
Peter David: PAD:
Mark Evanier: ME:
Steve Gerber: SG:
Steve Lieber: SL: or LIEBER:
Dave Rawson: RAWSON:
Mark Waid: MWAID: or WAID:
Dan Vado: DV: or DANSLAVE:
Finally, general compliments/fan mail should be sent to creators via email
rather than posted. Unless the post will be of interest to someone other than
you and the creator, it's bad netiquette to post rather than email. Note that
many creators (and other "real world" celebrities on the net) get such massive
amounts of email that you should not expect an answer or even that your email
will be read. After all, if they spend all their time reading and answering
email, they won't have time to do the creative work that's getting them all
that email in the first place. But keep in mind that sending email to
Compuserve addresses is considered rude due to Compuserve's practice of
charging the recipient $.15 per Internet message.

6. Who is Suicide Squid?
Short answer: Suicide Squid is the de facto r.a.c. mascot. Squiddy was
accidently created in April, 1991 when a netter wanted to ask the question
"Can someone tell me what's going on in Suicide Squad?" and typed an "i"
for the "a" in Squad. Many netters responded with what had been going on
in the Suicide Squid comic, which was a pretty good trick since it didn't
really exist. People then tried to reconcile the different versions of the
comic, and it mushroomed from there. Suicide Squid is now used in r.a.c.
posts for a generic comic book title when one is needed, or as a way of
commenting satirically on various events in comics. The current
writer/artist of the book is usually said to be Alonzo Mori, and the SS
fan club is the Black Ink Irregulars. The annual r.a.c. Awards are often
refered to as the Squiddies, and the r.a.c. team in the last three San Diego
Comicon trivia contests has gone by the name of the Black Ink Irregulars
(and won all three years).
A copy of the Squid relevant parts of just about every post mentioning
Squiddy since his creation is kept at theory.lcs.mit.edu in the FTPable
file pub/wald/suicide-squid. As you might expect, it's quite large but
fun to read.
There are Suicide Squid t-shirts, and wearing them is a good way to be
recognized by other r.a.c.ers at cons, signings, and other events.
7. How can I get a Suicide Squid t-shirt?
There have been three runs of these shirts, sold only to r.a.c.ers and a few
comics professionals. The art was done by pro artist Ty Templeton, and the
shirts have appeared on an episode of Parker Lewis Can't Lose (then on Fox,
now being rerun on USA Cable in the U.S.) and on Prisoners of Gravity, an
Ontario public TV show about science fiction and comics which is also shown on
some PBS stations in the U.S.. A Squid shirt appeared regularly on the '93-4
season of Prisoners of Gravity.
The third run has been mailed out. There may be extras. Send email to
t...@hq.ileaf.com to be put on a waiting list or to be put on a mailing list
for a fourth run should the third run be sold out (fourth run probably won't
happen until Fall '94, but could go earlier if a lot of interest).
8. Who is Paul?
Paul is essentially Suicide Squid mark 2. Someone posted about a rumor that
Marvel was going to kill off one of their characters and concluded the post
with a list of possibilities, one per line. Underneath the last, they had
their name, "Paul". People promptly jumped on this, and started constructing a
comics continuity for a character named Paul. The continuity frequently made
reference to the christian disciple Paul and his history. There is no
relation between this Paul and the New England Comics character and comic book
Paul the Samurai.
9. What's this about Sandman ending?
Neil Gaiman has announced that Sandman will end with #75 as a regular series.
The current storyline is titled The Kindly Ones and is the last multi-issue
major storyline. This will be followed by a short storyline titled The Wake
(#70-72ish), and a couple of stand along one issue stories, possibly including
an issue about what it's been like to write Sandman. The final issue will be
The Tempest, drawn by Charles Vess. Neil's also noted "there's room for
something else in there, just in case". He's announced his intent to continue
to do specials and mini-series about the Endless and their supporting cast,
but not as a continuing, regular, series. DC will be doing an anthology series
called The Dreaming, with stories mostly about the existing DC characters Neil
moved into the Dreaming such as Cain and Abel and the like.
10. When is the 1995 San Diego Comics Convention
The 1995 convention takes place July 27-30, and is the 26th anniversary show.
This is the largest comics convention in North America, with literally
thousands of pros, a huge dealer's room, and interesting programming...and
35,000 or so total attendees. Not to mention that the r.a.c. trivia team, the
Black Ink Irregulars, has won the trivia bowl the last three years, resulting
in two members being banned from the '95 competition (but it looks like we'll
be going up against a pro team as a special event)
Featured guests this year include: Neil Gaiman, James Gurney, Jeff Smith,
Joe Sinnott, Ramona Fradon, Stan Sakai, Mike Baron, art spiegelman,
Francoise Mouly, and Alan Davis
Until April 15, registration is $40 for all four days for adults, $20 for
children under 16 and seniors over 60. Children under 7 are free when
accompanied by an adult member.

12. Whatever happened to Akira, Big Numbers, D'arc Tangent, Grimjack,
Miracleman, 1963, Mage II, Eye of Mogambo, and Sweeny Todd ?
These are all series at least seemingly vanished without having actually
been cancelled, and in the midst of an active storyline. There are different
reasons for each.
AKIRA: According to its US editor, Marie Javins, Akira #34-38 was to have been
monthly and finished in mid-'95. #38 is half story and half pinups. #39 is
a tribute issue by Western artists and writers, including Moebius, Mark
Texeira, Alex Toth, Kent Williams. It's currently off the schedule, but Marie
and her ubereditor Carl Potts are working to get it back on.
BIG NUMBERS: Two issues of the twelve issue series came out, written by Alan
Moore and drawn by Bill Sienkiewicz. It's unclear whether #3 with art by
Sienkiewicz was completed or not. At any rate, the book went on hiatus in
order to build up inventory. Sienkiewicz left the project, and was replaced
by his former assistant Al Columbia. Columbia apparently finished the art
for one issue, and then destroyed it (the two most common stories are either
he burned it or tore it up and make a collage out of it). Moore would like
to see it finished, but hasn't found an artist for it.
D'ARC TANGENT: One issue of this came out back around 1982 from the team of
Phil Foglio, Connor Freff Cochran (who at the time went only by Freff), and
Melissa Singer. It was good and is missed. Foglio and Freff had a serious
falling out by the time of issue two, leading to lawyers. I won't try to
explain that, as both sides still have very different explanations. Instead,
here's the current, legally determined, status. Foglio has rights to do a DT
comic as of April 20, 1995. DT ideas from Freff and Singer are not to be
used. Should there be a movie, Freff and Singer control any comic book
adaptation of it. Freff has original novel rights, and Singer has all
secondary rights. As of 1993, Freff was working on DT screenplays, but I've
no further knowledge of this. As of late 1994, Foglio stated not to expect
any D'arc Tangent work from him until at least after the current 8 issue
Buck Godot series wraps up, as he's busy with that, Xxxenophile, and doing
work for the Magic:The Addiction people.
GRIMJACK: Creator John Ostrander would like to start up Grimjack again, but
the rights are held by what's left of First Comics after various corporate
buyouts and mergers. He's said that he gets the rights back after five years
without publication though. There may also be a question about the ownership
of Cynosure, since it was both created by someone else, and used extensively
within the First "universe". Cynosure is also the name of a new comic by
completely separate people, so it's not even clear what the trademark status
is. On the other hand, Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski is currently
working on a script for a Grimjack feature film. It'll be an adaptation of
the Demon Wars/Dancer storyline, and JMS plans to be as true to the source
as possible. He's a long time comics fan and should do a good job.
MIRACLEMAN: Was published by Eclipse Comics, which basically disentegrated for
both market and personal reasons. The problem is that Miracleman is owned by a
combination of Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham (most recent creators, and
owners of Alan Moore's original share), Eclipse's former owners (the company
legally ceased to be in December 1994), and possibly by the original British
publisher although the last is less certain. At any rate, in order for it to
be published again, all owners would have to agree as to where, when, and
under what terms. This is unlikely to happen any time soon.
1963: The mini-series finished, and was supposed to be wrapped up in an
80-page Giant with artwork by the Image founders as the 1963 characters
crossed over with the present day Imageverse. This hasn't happened, and it
is rumored that the delays lie with the artwork. It's not on the schedule,
and no one seems to know when or if it'll be coming out. Meanwhile, the
1963 characters were used in an issue of Shadowhawk.
MAGE II: Matt Wagner's Mage series was supposed to have a followup. It has
become a cliche in r.a.c. circles that the statement "Mage II will be out
in 18 months" is time invariant. Who knows when it'll actually appear, but
r.a.c.ers won't believe reports of it until they have it in their hot little
hands.
EYE OF MOGAMBO: According to Martin Wagner, "Doug Grey was so disenchanted by
the lousy sales of Eye of Mongombo that he just gave up on the series after 7
of its 10 issues and went back to the world of commercial art. A true shame."
SWEENEY TODD: The last information from Neil Gaiman was that once Michael Zulli
and himself had cleared room on their schedules for it, work would proceed.
However, no further information as to when it might be available is
forthcoming.
13. Where does the money go from buying a comic?
Per a January 1995 post from Matt High of Antarctic Comics, this rough guide.
Mileage may vary among different publishers, but this should be reasonably
accurate.
"Out of the cover price of our books ($2.75/2.95 usually):
40-45% goes to the retailer
20-25% goes to the distributor
13% goes to the printer
7-8% goes to the creators/artists
2% goes to shipping (UPS/USPS)
the remainder (10-12%) goes to the publisher (salaries, rent, utilities,
supplies, advertising, etc).
...
Antarctic Press is at the second-highest discount level...We sell distributors
books at 65% off cover price, they turn around and resell them for 35-50% off.
Marvel and DC sell their books to the distributors at 59-62% off, and they
turn around and resell them to the stores at 40-57.5% off."
14. How can I become a pro comics writer or artist?
Let's start with the bad news. Right now, there are basically four ways
to become a pro comics writer.
1) Get a job with a comics company. This way, you'll know of needed stories
the day they're needed, the editors will know you, etc. Notice how many new
Marvel writers are Marvel assistant editors or have other jobs at Marvel?
2) Get a reputation for writing outside the comics field. DC seems more
open to this than other companies (Nancy Collins, Rachel Pollack, Lewis
Shiner, Paul Dini, Sam Hamm, etc.), but if Stephen King walked into Marvel
and said he wanted to write a comic, they'd fall over themselves getting
him one.
3) Learn to draw. Sort of like one, but wartists are becoming more and
more common these days. But see below for artists.
4) Start your own comic or comic company. Expect to lose money. But you'll
get to write your own comic without company constraints, and you'll have
a portfolio if you decide to go for the big time. And who knows; it might
even take off and make money. But don't count on it or quit your day job
until you're sure based on several issues worth of sales.
Notice that none of these say "Write up one page story submissions and
mail them to a company". To be blunt, in the current market, your odds of
getting in doing that are incredibly low. You might, and I'll be the first
to congratulate you if you can pull it off, but frankly the four ways
mentioned here are *much* more likely to succeed. And note that none of
them offer great odds either.
Becoming a pro comics artist is a lot easier, but still tough. As the old
joke about making chicken soup goes, first catch a chicken. Or in this case,
actually be able to draw at a professional level of quality. What you need
to do is make up a portfolio showing that you can draw comics, and not just
pin-ups. Do about 4-6 pages of storytelling, with multiple panels on the
pages showing that you can work with the flow of a story. Don't skimp on
backgrounds; show you can draw buildings, cars, trees, civilians not in skin
tight suits, etc. Also, when you do this, note your speed. If you can't draw
one professionally ready page per working day, you're too slow for a monthly
book. Keep this in mind when looking for work; you can kill your rep by
claiming to be much faster than you are and then blowing deadlines due to
the lie catching up with you.
Then you can either mail (photocopies) of your art to companies, or, if you
can, go to any major comics conventions in your area and show your work to
editors and possibly artists at the company tables. At the very least,
you'll get some useful criticism of your work. At the best, you may end up
getting an assignment.
There's also the Joe Kubert School in New Jersey, founded by long time
comics artist Joe Kubert. It's oriented towards producing comics artists,
and a number of alumni have gotten jobs in the industry. Doesn't hurt in
making contacts either, as many of the instructors are working comics
artists. Its adddress is: The Joe Kubert School, 37 Myrtle Ave., Dover, NJ
07801 (201)361-1327.
Online, check out the resources listed in Part 6 of the Welcome messages
and detailed in parts 7-10. In particular, look for SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
and COMICS GROUND. The latter is an on-line resource for aspiring comics
creators to display their work for commentary and criticism, as well as
make connections with other creators. Also look at SELF PUBLISHING PRIMER
in part 9.
15. What are the Ages of comics?
If you read comics for any length of time, you'll encounter references to
Golden Age and Silver Age comics. While I'm personally fond of the science
fiction definition of Golden Age ("The Golden Age of science fiction is
twelve" i.e. whatever you read at that age was your Golden Age), in comics
it's generally used to refer to comics from the 30s and 40s and those
superhero comics that continued into the 50s. There is then a gap of a few
years with no real name for the comics published in that period. The Silver
Age is generally considered to have begun with either the first appearance
of the Martian Manhunter in Detective Comics, or the Barry Allen Flash in
Showcase, both around 1955. However, Marvel's Silver Age is considered to
start with the publication of Fantastic Four #1 in 1961.
As for the ending date of the Silver Age, it gets fuzzy. Pretty much all of
the 60s and little of the 70s are included. Two events suggested for the
end of the Silver Age are Jack Kirby's move from Marvel to DC and Mort
Weisinger's retirement as editor of the Superman line.
There is no clearly defined Age after the Silver Age, although a number of
possibilities such as Platinum, Bronze, Independent, and (in more depressed
moments) Mylar and Silicon (the last based both on computer coloring and the
ever expanding female breast size in many comics these days) have been
suggested. A number of different events signifying the start of new ages have
also been suggested, such as Giant-Size X-Men #1 (new X-Men introduction),
Cerebus and Elfquest #1 (start of major groundlevel/self-publishing), Pacific
Comics startup (first major independent line), DC's Crisis, and even as late as
Image Comics startup (first creator owned books to fight it out with Marvel and
DC for the top of the sales charts). It can be amusing to chat about it, but
it's doubtful that any real conclusions will be reached; they haven't been so
far, and there've been a *lot* of iterations of this discussion over the years.
16. What was the first #0 issue?
Zap Comix #0 came out in the late 60s/early 70s. Apparently the art to what
would have been Zap #1 was stolen, and Robert Crumb did new art that became
the published Zap #1. The art was later recovered, and printed as Zap #0.
17. Who are some of the gay characters in comics?
A short list for DC includes Mindy Meyer's brother (Wonder Woman), Maggie
Sawyer and Toby Gaines (Superman), Extrano (New Guardians), Pied Piper
(Flash), perhaps Jan Arrah, Lightning Lass and Shrinking Violet (Legion of
Superheroes v4). It has also been suggested that the Amazons in WW are gay to
some extent. Watchmen had Silouette, Hooded Justice, Captain Metropolis, and
possibly others. Fighting American #6 has about the most unambiguous coming
out scene you're ever likely to see in a code-approved comic.
In the Vertigo line, there are numerous gay characters. Offhand, Hazel,
Foxglove, Judy, Cluracan, and Hal in Sandman, along with Judy. Lenny and
Kathy in Shade, Ray Monde in Hellblazer, Liz Tremayne in Swamp Thing, and
others.
Marvel has Northstar, perhaps Mystique and Destiny. Mystique has been
revealed to have mothered two children, and it's strongly implied that she
had sex with Wolverine in Wolverine #51, so if she is gay, she's bi-. Note
that according to Chris Claremont, his planned origin for Nightcrawler had
Mystique, a shape-changer, being Kurt's father and Destiny being the mother.
At the time, Mystique was in male form and sufficiently traumatized from war
incidents to not realize her true gender or past. Hector of the Pantheon in
Hulk is gay; while at first this was somewhat hinted around in the comic and
only stated in Peter David's CBG column, he has now explicitly stated his
orientation in the comic. Justice's father was gay, but in the main Marvel
timeline he closeted himself due to pressure/abuse from his father and
passed to the degree of marrying and having a kid.
In the Milestone line, Fade in Blood Syndiate is gay, and Masquerade is
what amounts to a self operated transsexual, although it's unclear what
his orientation is beyond that. Donner and Blitzen in Shadow Cabinet
are lesbian partners, and Rick, a supporting character in Static, is gay.
Others include Spectral from The Strangers, the women warriors in Epic's
_Sisterhood of Steel_, Barney (The Masked Man), the woman from _Detectives,
Inc._, Robbie and Frank from _Omaha_, and Terry, Pam, and George from _Zot!_.
Several characters are either gay or bi in _Love and Rockets_. _Desert Peach_
has a gay main character, Erwin Rommel's (fictitious) younger brother.
Many of the above are gays-written-by-straights and are of questionable
merit. Others have been said by gays to have been handled quite well.
18. Where can I buy original comics art?
OK, so strictly speaking, this isn't a FAQ. However, the following
strikes me as useful enough info to include here.
Four Color Images, the comic art gallery, sells original art by a large
number of comics artists. You can get a catalogue from them for $3
by writing: F.C.I., 524 Broadway, Suite 602, NYC, NY, 10012. Phone:
212-431-4234 (Prices range from $50 to $5,000)
19. Where are various comics museums located?
International Museum of Cartoon Art, Boca Raton, FL
Plans to open in January, 1996, Founder - Mort Walker, Board Members include
Will Eisner, Jim Davis and Marty Nodell
Words & Pictures Museum of Fine Sequential Art. Northampton, MA
Curator - Peter Laird, rotating exhibits. Heavy on fantasy art, but a wide
variety of comics art is represented Other highlights include Mark Martin
gargoyles, a large Gilbert Shelton mural, original Wrightson Frankenstein,
McKean, Sim/Gerhard, JJ Muth, etc. Admission normally $3, $1 on Wed.
Museum of Cartoon Art, Rye, NY

Will Eisner (i.e. when a cartoonist visits, they're invited to draw on
the bathroom walls.
Comic Art Museum, San Francisco CA
Rotating exhibits of original comic strip and comic book art
Michigan State University Library
Not quite a museum, but they have a, to my knowledge, unsurpassed special
collection of comics. The comics are available for reading in a reading
room; you fill out a request and the librarian brings back the comic,
which you read in a specific room. No stack browsing.
20. Where did the "On the Internet, no one knows you're a dog" cartoon
appear?
Page 61 of the July 5, 1993 issue of the New Yorker.
21. How do you spell/pronounce the last name of artist Bill Sienkiewicz?
It's spelled as above, and pronounced "sin-KEV-itch".
22. What is "The Cowboy Wally Show"?
TCWS is a graphic novel written and drawn by Kyle Baker around 1988. It was
done for Doubleday, not a regular comics publisher, and thus showed up in
bookstores rather than comics stores. In a strip in Spy Magazine in 1993,
Baker comments that more copies were returned than were published; it's
hard to tell how much he was exaggerating.
At any rate, this book is now out of print and very hard to find. To give you
an idea, Jim Cowling bought a copy via an ad on the net for $100. As for why
it's in such demand, Jim later stated it was worth every penny to him. It's a
very funny book, and has contributed numerous .sig quotes to those of us who
have a copy. It's become something of an icon on r.a.c.m., and in the 1993
Alternative Squiddies, one category (inspired by a thread the previous year on
r.a.c.m.) was "Body Part You'd Give Up For A Copy Of The Cowboy Wally Show".
As of August 1994, Baker stated that he only has one copy of it, and had
thought about reprinting it when he does a new book.
C11. Where can I get comics on microfiche/CD-ROM?
Per Mike Kelly, a customer of theirs:
MicroColor International, Inc.
85 Godwin Avenue
Midland Park, New Jersey 07432
USA
Phone 1-800-666-4054 or 201-445-3450 9 am - 6 pm (mon-fri) EST
(EST is GMT minus 5 hours)
FAX: 201-445-2924
Ask for a recent newsletter and order form.
MicroColor sells 5 issues of a comic per set, with the price in early '95 being
$34. Each comic is on its own fiche. The stock is mostly, if not all, from the
Golden Age in the 40s, and from a variety of publishers of that period. They
also have viewers for sale, but most public libraries have viewers you can use
to view microfiche. Apparently they're thinking of getting into CD-ROMs, but so
far no source of reprinted comics on CD-ROM is known to me.
23. What was the Crisis on Infinite Earths?
The _Crisis on Infinite Earths_ was a 12-issue series published by DC in
1985-6. The "Crisis" effectively revamped the entire DC Universe by
merging several universes (containing the various DC characters) into a
single universe (whose history is still somewhat unclear in parts). The
Crisis was used as an opportunity to change DC history retroactively (see
"retcon" in the list of definitions in part 2), including the remaking of
several main DC characters. Thus people refer to the "post-Crisis" Superman,
Wonder Woman, etc., as distinct from the "pre-Crisis" versions who existed
on "Earth-1" (Silver Age) or "Earth-2" (Golden Age).
The confusion *really* begins because the revamping and "retconning" didn't
all take place in the Crisis limited series itself, nor in the comics
immediately after then. If DC had simply started all their series over from
scratch, thing would have been pretty straightforward. Instead, they declared
the Pre-Crisis history to be implicitly intact, until and unless they could
explicitly create the new, post-Crisis versions of characters and histories.
Thus, new changes were still being made in titles up to eight years after the
end of Crisis. So, for example, the "old" Hawkman appeared in the "new"
Justice League. But then Timothy Truman began writing _Hawkworld_, which
retconned Hawkman's character; among other changes, Hawkman "now" arrived on
Earth much later. So, the Hawkman who appeared in the new Justice League
comic (call him the Silver Age Hawkman, or the pre-Crisis Hawkman) "now" (in
real world time) "no longer exists, and never has" (within current DC
continuity).
But then the creators realized the problem, so they said that most of the
Silver Age Hawkman appearances in JLA were actually by the Golden Age Hawkman,
and a new Hawkman was created whose purpose was to satisfy those few JLA
appearances made after the GA Hawkman was known to have been MIA.
Confused yet? Suffice it to say, the way DC handled the Crisis and its
aftermath confuses *lots* of readers and provides a perennial topic of
discussion on r.a.c.misc. Zero Hour was said to be an attempt to "fix"
problems caused by Crisis and part of the McGuffin for Zero Hour was that
Crisis actually didn't end, and all continuity problems until ZH were symptoms
of this. (see next question).
There has been the occasional announcement that Crisis would be reprinted as a
trade paperback, but the latest word from DC is that they feel it would be too
expensive and don't plan to do so.
24. What was Zero Hour?
Zero Hour was intended to fix problems resulting from inconsistant post-Crisis
DC continuity. It was a five issue mini-series in summer 1994 which will cause
price guides fits since the order of the issues was #4, #3, #2, #1, #0. The
month after Zero Hour, all mainstream DC Universe books were #0 issues, making
it even more fun for indexers.
The #0 issue had a timeline of the DC Universe which is considered definitive.
The end result of Zero Hour was the killing off and aging to their proper age
several Justice Society members, and a resetting of the DC Universe such that
it's much the same as the post-Crisis but with "subtle differences". So far,
the only specific differences stated are:
# It's no longer true that Batman has caught his parents' killer.
# Bruce Wayne did officially adopt Dick Grayson
# Dick Grayson had a traumatic experience in his early days as Robin relating
to failing to prevent someone being killed by Two-Face. This has seems to
have caused a character change to his being much more self doubting.
# Catwoman's origin was completed revamped in Catwoman #0. Changes include her
no longer having been a prostitute (which was itself a post-Crisis retcon),
her not having a sister, and not having been trained by Ted (Wildcat) Grant.
# Legion of Super-Heroes/Legionnaires: both books have started over completely
from scratch, similar to the post-Crisis reboot of Superman and Wonder Woman.
Past continuity has some effect on the books, but the writers are free to
chuck it if they want to.
25. Where can I find "Man of Steel, Women of Kleenex"?
In the late 1960s, Larry Niven wrote a hysterically funny essay in which he
speculated about possible problems that the pre-Crisis Superman would have in
attempting to reproduce or just have sex with a Terran. The essay appears in
Niven's collections _All the Myriad Ways_ and _N-Space_, and in the anthology
_Alien Sex_. And yes, we know that Niven didn't take the bottle city of Kandor
into account. The story was also reprinted in Penthouse Comix #5, with some
illustrations by Curt Swan (with all trademarked Superman indicators like
costume colors and S-shield obscured).
26. What are the different types of Kryptonite?
Post-Crisis there have been only three main types, of which only one has made
more than one appearance. This, usually refered to just as "kryptonite", is
green and has similar effects on Kryptonians as pre-Crisis Green K. While it
has no immediate effect on Terrans or other races, prolonged exposure has
resulted in cancer due to radiation.
Mr. Mxyzptlk created a chunk of Red Kryptonite, which effectively removed
Superman's powers for a time.
In the Pocket Universe storyline, Superman encountered what amounted to a
rainbow of types of pre-Crisis Kryptonite. He was not affected by any of it,
although PU Kryptonians were.
Pre-Crisis, there were numerous types. These were:
Green Kryptonite: weakens and eventually kills super-powered Kryptonians.
Usually harmless to other races, but one story in Brave and the Bold had a
device used which resulted in Terrans being affected similar to Kryptonians.
Anti-Kryptonite: similar to Green K, but affects non-super-powered
Kryptonians. This was a retcon used to explain why the non-powered Argo
City residents could be killed by what seemed to be Green K.
X-Kryptonite: Only one chunk, it was created by Supergirl trying to find a
cure for Green K. It gives Terrans, or at least Terran cats, Kryptonian
style powers for a limited time.
Red Kryptonite: Causes a specific, odd, effect. Often involved physical
transformations or mental changes. Each chunk had a different effect, and
could only affect a given Kryptonian once. Effects usually wore off in
24-48 hours. Created when Green K passed through a space cloud.
Gold Kryptonite: Removes a Kryptonian's super-powers permanently. Created
when Green K passed through a different space cloud.
White Kryptonite: Kills any plant life from any world. Yep, another space
cloud.
Blue Kryptonite: Has the same effect on Bizarro Kryptonians as Green K does
on real Kryptonians. Created by the same imperfect duplicator ray that
created the Bizarros.
Jewel Kryptonite: Remnents of Krypton's Jewel Mountains, it allows Phantom
Zone residents to focus their mental energy and cause explosions in the
outside world.
Two notable fake varieties are Silver and Yellow K. Silver was used to keep
Superman from closely investigating what turned out to be a 25th (silver)
anniversary gift for him from his friends, and Yellow was used by Luthor to
fake out what he thought was Superman. It turned out it was a Superman
robot ordered to react to Kryptonite like the real thing. When Luthor found
this out, he returned all the gold from Fort Knox which he'd stolen.
27. Where are the "real" locations of Metropolis, Gotham City, Hub City,
etc., in the DC Universe?
Metropolis and Gotham City have been equated to *many* different real-world
cities over the years; there is no one correct answer. (Even if there were,
the current writers are under no duress to use it.) Hub City, from _The
Question_, is a bit different; it is based on a combination of two cities in
Illinois, one of which is definitely East St. Louis. Writer Denny O'Neil
admitted this at one point, but no longer does so in order not to offend
residents of the cities.
Metropolis, as originally developed by Siegel and Shuster, was probably
Cleveland, the "big city" with which they were most familiar. There are also
possible early references to Toronto. Later, Superman's home was moved to
somewhere in the BosWash corridor on the U.S. East Coast. _Who's Who in the
Legion of Superheroes_ showed a 30th century Metropolis, which stretched
slightly beyond New York and Boston in either direction, and used those names
explicitly in the description of Metropolis. John Byrne seemed to think it
was back in the midwest.
Gotham is a traditional nickname for New York City, but there is a separate
NYC in the DC universe. It is definitely a port city, probably on the east
coast; too much plot has depended on that fact. Again, various sources have
placed Gotham City all along the east coast, often near Metropolis. The
distance to Metropolis has also varied; from hundreds of miles to linked by a
bridge.
In DC Comics Presents #87 (Maggin written, Schwartz edited), Superman is
transported to Earth-Prime, which, pre-Crisis, was supposedly our Earth. His
thoughts are:
"The Earth's there all right...but everything's out of place! New York is
sprawled out all over where Gotham is supposed to be...Boston suburbs cover
Star City...and Metropolis is...Metropolis is nowhere to be seen!"
Frank Miller once claimed that, metaphorically, "Metropolis is New York in the
daytime, while Gotham is New York at night." Works for me.
Mayfair Games published an Atlas of the DC Universe, written by DC staffer
Paul Kupperberg. While not completely official, it does jibe with locations
that DC used when its house fanzine of the mid-70s discussed this same
question. The locations given for the main DC fictional cities are:
Metropolis: Delaware
Gotham City: New Jersey
Star City: far nothern California
Coast City: on 101 near Sausalito between San Francisco and Oakland
[Now destroyed, but based on maps shown in the Superman
titles, seemingly moved to midway between LA and SF.]
Middleton (where J'onn J'Onzz first operated): suburb of Denver
Littleville (Robby Reed): Wyoming
Blue Valley (Kid Flash): northwest Nebraska, near South Dakota
Central City/Keystone City: a bit north of Kansas City, Central is in
Missouri while Keystone is in Kansas on the other side of the Mississippi
Calvin City/Ivy Town (Atoms): both in Connecticut near New Haven
Dos Rios (El Diablo): 65 miles south of San Antonio
Fairfax (2nd Dial H for Hero): suburb of Bangor, Maine
Midway City (Doom Patrol, Hawkman): Michigan, just east of Sault Ste. Marie
Smallville: Kansas, 50 miles west of the I-70/I-35 interchange on I-70.
The population is given as 90,000 btw.
Many people have noted errors in the geographical plausibility of the above
entries. For example, the state borders near the Mississippi and Missouri
Rivers are obviously different in the DC Universe than in our world, and Coast
City can only be "between San Franciso and Oakland" if one intends to drive
from one city to the other without bothering to use the bridge that directly
connects the two. These are from the Mayfair Games book, which was obviously
not edited as scrupulously as the r.a.c Welcome posting. :-)
One final note: There's an actual small town in southern Illinois named
Metropolis, located about twenty miles north of where the Mississippi and Ohio
Rivers meet. Their "Welcome to Metropolis" sign has "Home of Superman" on it,
they have a Superman statue on display, and every year they have a Superman
festival. At least at one time, the local paper was called the Daily Planet.
28. Isn't there a gay Marvel mutant?
Yes. This is Northstar (Jean-Paul Beaubier) from _Alpha Flight_. When John
Byrne began the series (issues #1-26), he made the point that Jean-Paul was
gay, using tiny hints that are obvious if you're looking for them.
In issue #7, Northstar visits Raymonde Belmonde, presumably a former lover.
In #8, Aurora apparently knows (and disapproves) of his sexual orientation.
In #11's back-up story, James Hudson comments that Northstar didn't seem
too interested in women. There were other tiny hints as well-- nothing
that really made sense unless you knew what to look for.
The hints were subtle enough that you might not get the idea independently.
But if you read the stories with the possibility in mind, it was quite clear.
Later in the series, there were strong hints that Jean-Paul had contracted
AIDS.
Unfortunately, the Editor-in-Chief of Marvel, (there is debate on which
one; Jim Shooter or Tom DeFalco), declared "There are no homosexuals in the
Marvel Universe," and decided to "fix things." After Byrne, Bill Mantlo
was writing Alpha Flight, and he retconned both Northstar and Aurora into
being half-human and half-elf (thus their pointed ears), and decided that
Northstar's sickness was due to being outside of the realm of faerie.
Note that nothing in the faerie storyline indicated that Jean-Paul was
*not* gay, just that he didn't have AIDS. Also, Mantlo should be given
some credit. He dropped several "hints" as well, including issues #28 and
#45 or 46. Unlike Byrne's, these had the subtlety of a sledgehammer.
The "faerie" change was later de-retconned, though I am unfamiliar with the
details. In any case, much later, in issue #106, Northstar held a press
conference is which he came out of the closet (He does *not* have AIDS). A
Marvel editor explained that (paraphrasing), "Many of our readers suspected
the truth all along, but now we decided to make the issue clear." Yeah,
right.
It's also worth noting that the true powers-that-be at Marvel (i.e. way
above the editor-in-chief level and at the corporate level) got very antsy
about this story and the media attention it got. Northstar pretty quickly
effectively went back in the closet in that little if any reference to his
orientation was mentioned during the rest of Alpha Flight's run.
29. How old is Kitty Pryde (of Excalibur)?
The short answer: Kitty was 13 1/2 when she joined the X-Men. She had her
15th birthday in Excalibur #24. Soren F. Peterson reports that Claremont
spoke at a con the weekend of July 27-28, 1991 and stated without a shadow
of a doubt that Kitty Pryde is only 15. Now, there's no *way* that only 18
months passed in the interim; too many events have occurred. But forget
trying to make sense of it. If Chris Claremont can't keep track of Kitty's
age, why should you? Until the writers retcon it, 15 it is.
However, as of October, 1993, an issue of Excalibur had Kitty saying:
"Unh-uh, Professor...we've *had* this conversation once too often,
when I was still a *minor* [her emphasis], living at the mansion. The
whole stern-but-benevolent patriarch riff isn't going to *work* anymore.
You have a *case* to make -- make it as an *adult, one-on-one*."
So she may be 18 now, but it's not completely sure. Particularly since an
issue of X-Men appearing at about the same time stated that only a year had
passed since events which took place before Kitty's 15th birthday party.
30. What were the lyrics to the 1960s Spider-Man cartoon theme song?
(Side notes: the Canadian group Moxy Fruvious does a, rather altered, version
of this song. Also, per the warped mind of Nick Smith, these lyrics make for a
hysterical comedy routine if you read them as you would a dramatic reading of
an epic poem)
Spider-Man, Spider-Man
Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web, any size
Catches thieves, just like flies
Look out, here comes the Spider-Man
Is he strong? Listen, Bud.
He's got radioactive blood.
Can he swing, from a thread?
Take a look, overhead.
Hey there! There goes the Spider-Man
In the chill of the night
At the scene of a crime
Like a streak of light
He arrives just in time!
Spider-Man, Spider-Man
Friendly neighborhood Spider-Man
Wealth and fame, he's ignored.
Action is, his reward
To him life is a great big bang up
Wherever there's a hang up
You'll find the Spider-Man
31. Who's this Cerebus character people post a lot about?
Cerebus, written and produced by Dave Sim, is longest running and generally
best selling black & white comic on the market. Cerebus, the main character,
is a 3 foot tall aardvark who has been, among other things, a barbarian, prime
minister, pope, and outlaw. The series is expected to run exactly 300 issues,
ending in March 2004 (I'm not making this up) with the death of Cerebus. A
long time net.favorite, the comic can be read on several levels. Sim keeps
just about all regular issues of Cerebus in print via what are called
phonebooks; trade paperbacks collecting 20-25 issues at a stretch, all of
which are kept in print. See near the back of any issue of Cerebus for details
on how to order them if your shop doesn't carry them.
32. What's the joke behind John Byrne's Next Men's letter column title?
The title is "A Flame About This High". The joke to which this is the
punchline is "You know what really burns my ass?"
33. Where can I get a Calvin & Hobbes t-shirt, stuffed tiger, phone, etc.?
You can't. Bill Watterson has made the decision not to merchandise C&H beyond
the strip itself, collections, and possibly a calendar. Anything else you may
see that uses the characters is bootleg, and is done against the strip
creator's explicit wishes. Also, obviously, Watterson receives no money from
the bootlegs. Thus, it's not cool to buy them, and in the past Watterson and
his syndicate have won large judgements against their manufacturers.

WELCOME TO REC.ARTS.COMICS (part 4 of 7: Netiquette)
written by lots of different people
edited by Paul A. Estin 1990-1993
Tom Galloway 1993-present
[last update: 2/28/95]
4. Netiquette (Guidelines for posting articles)
Lesson 1. This is Usenet. It is not AOL. It is not Compuserve. It is not
Prodigy. It is not Fidonet. It is not a BBS. You are posting to/reading a
newsgroup, not a bboard, not a board, not a base, etc. It is your
responsibility to learn the customs of the Usenet environment *before*
posting. Practices which may be accepted on BBSes, AOL, Compuserve, Prodigy,
local systems, etc. may not be accepted on Usenet. And there's usually a good
reason why they're not.
To begin, go read the articles in the newsgroup news.announce.newusers,
especially "A Primer on How to Work with the USENET Community". These are
essential, general, documents on how to interact with the rest of the Usenet
community. When you post, it will be assumed by others that you've read these,
and if you violate their netiquette lessons, you'll likely not get as much
out of Usenet as you otherwise would. To be blunt, if you can't be bothered
to learn the customs here, people will be less willing to read your posts or
interact with you.
If for some reason you can't find the articles in news.announce.newusers,
you can FTP them (see part 5 for more information about FTP). The critical
ones to read are:
ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.announce.newusers/Rules_for_posting_to_Usenet
ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.announce.newusers/Hints_on_writing_style_for_Usenet
ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.announce.newusers/What_is_Usenet?
After you've done that, read these r.a.c.-specific comments:
The most common r.a.c. netiquette mistakes made by newbies are:
1) Posting X-Men related articles in r.a.c.misc.
2) Posting For Sale ads anywhere but r.a.c.marketplace.
3) Quoting an entire article being responded to.
a) And only adding what amounts to "I dis/agree" or "Me too!" at the end
b) Quoting less than the entire article, but not by much.
c) Quoting a .sig without commenting on it.
4) Posting what should have been email.
In more detail:
* Post to the proper r.a.c. subgroup
Make sure you post to the proper newsgroup, as explained in Part 1, on the
r.a.c hierarchy and related newsgroups. In general, there is very little
crossposting between the different r.a.c. newsgroups. In particular, do *not*
crosspost between r.a.c.marketplace and any other r.a.c. group. Do *not* post
for sale or looking for ads on any r.a.c. group other than r.a.c.marketplace.
If the post is only about X-Men related titles, do not post it anywhere other
than r.a.c.xbooks.
* Have something to say, and support your arguments
Post because you want to say something about comics, or ask a question about
comics. Don't post to satisfy your ego. Respect other posters' opinions,
though you may disagree with them. When arguing a point, rational argument
with examples is preferable to sheer volume, or, worse, to personal attack.
Say something substantive, that others would like to read and perhaps reply
to.
* Don't complain that people aren't posting about your favorite comic
A special case of the above: If people aren't posting about a comic or
character you're interested in, your best bet to start conversation about it
is to post something relatively substantial about the topic. If you just post
"I like Suicide Squid. Does anyone else?" it's doubtful you'll get much
response. Posting "I like Suicide Squid because (reasons)" or "Does anyone
know why this happened in Suicide Squid #37?" or even "Top Ten Reasons Suicide
Squid Should Be Chopped Up Into Calimari (reasons)" will be much more likely
to get discussion going. If you just post a complaint that Suicide Squid
isn't being posted about, you'll basically get back that if you want Squiddy
discussed, you should start a discussion. Don't expect others to work at
entertaining your particular preferences if you're not willing to also work
at it.
* Never forget that the person on the other side is human.
This is a generally a friendly, tolerant hierarchy, and we like to keep it
that way. One of the things which can destroy the pleasant atmosphere around
here are "flames": inflammatory, insulting posts. People send articles saying
things that they would never say to one another in person, perhaps because of
the anonymity that electronic newsgroups provide. Please refrain from doing
this. There are people on the other end of your message, and they're likely
to take offense at your taking offense. The result is called a "flame war",
and it wastes the time of everybody on the newsgroup. When you respond to an
article, even one with which you vehemently disagree, try to respond to the
article, not the poster; give reasoned rebuttal, not personal invective.
Also, try not to dash off a reply in anger; you may regret it later. Instead,
wait until after you've had some sleep and calmed down, before you reply.
Finally, note that the best way to avoid a flame war with someone who is
obviously looking for "attention" is to ignore that person.
* People who don't share your tastes in comics are not subhuman.
All too often there are outbreaks of "taste wars" where rather than critiquing
books, people critique the people who read a certain book or line. Consider
this a special case of the above two categories. Have something to say,
support your arguments, and argue against another post's substance or lack
thereof, not to your assumed perception of its author. It is perfectly
acceptable to post something like "People who read nothing but Suicide Squid
comics should try to look at some other comics; if you enjoyed Black Ink
Irregulars you might like Mid-Atlantic Secret Squadron from Calamari. Here's
why..." or "I'm tired of people bashing those of us who read Suicide Squid; I
happen to *like* reading Black Ink Irregulars and Li'l Squiddie. Here's
why..." Either of these sorts of posts is a lot more likely to convince
people of the Rightness of Your Opinions than is loud spleen-venting.
Furthermore, as a general rule, either liking or disliking an entire company's
output is a position of questionable merit. Many have gotten to the point
where they tend to follow favorite writers and artists, instead of characters
or companies. While there can be noticible trends in companies' output, if a
company does more than a handful of titles there's a good chance there's some
title(s) you'll think are "better" or "worse" than what you might expect from
that company on average.
At the same time, though, people can get awfully pretentious. The best thing
to do, again, no matter which side you're on, is to back up your posts with
substance, and to reply to specifics, because much of the arguing is due to
misunderstanding another's position.
* Be careful with humor and sarcasm.
Subtle humor tends to be missed in text-only form. There is a standard net
method for indicating sarcasm: the "smiley", a group of symbols which look
like a smiley-face on its side, like this :-)
(A post with a non-generic reference to Suicide Squid is also fairly likely
to be less than serious...)
* Don't post what only one person needs to see.
Many types of replies are best given by private electronic mail, not posted to
the entire newsgroup audience. This seems obvious, but many people ignore
this. For example, if someone posts a poll or a trivia contest, you should
reply to them by electronic mail. Don't post!
The rule of thumb here is to think about whether anyone outside of yourself
and the person you're responding to would have any interest in your post.
There is no reason to subject tens of thousands of other readers to content
free to them posts consisting entirely of "I agree", "Me too!", "Thank you",
"I liked your post", "I'm a big fan of your work", etc. If only the person
you're responding to would be interested, email, don't post.
* Polls: Borrrrring
As a special case of the above, posts which ask for people to post their top N
titles/storylines/characters/etc. are discouraged. Unless these lists have
reasonably detailed explanations of why the poster has these particular
entries, seeing a list of N just names/titles gets old fast. Posting that
you're running an email poll on the top N whatevers and will post results is
much better. But even then, it's likely that a lot of frequent
posters/old-timers won't reply since they'd been there, done that, many times
before.
* When following up an article, quote only the appropriate amount of text.
Many posting programs make it easy to include text from the article you're
responding to. Take care to edit this text down to the minimum needed to
understand your new contribution to the discussion. Many r.a.c. readers skip
past articles with a lot of included text, particularly at the beginning of an
article. A rule of thumb is that if you include more than 10 lines of quoted
text in a row, you're almost certainly doing something wrong. More than 5 and
you probably are. Including more than 20 quoted lines at the start of your
post will insure that a fair number of people will *not* read it, as all
they'll see at first is a screen of quoted material. Habitually including too
many quoted lines gets you put in kill files. To be blunt, people have found
it a good rule of thumb that if someone can't be troubled to edit down
quoted text to make their post easier to read, what they post usually isn't
worth taking the extra time/effort to read.
In particular, unless you are actually commenting on it in your post, there
is no reason why you should ever include the .sig from an article you're
responding to. The person's id is given at the start of the included text,
and that's sufficient.
* Don't overdo signatures
You can include a signature on the end of your posts. (In "rn", if you create
a ".signature" file, it will be added automatically.) But keep it short.
Nothing is more boring than wading through the same long signature repeated on
multiple articles. A maximum of four lines is suggested (and, on some
systems, four is the maximum possible). You may see some frequent posters use
longer .sigs. In general, these are people who include particularly
interesting quotes (or original writing) in their .sigs and change it on a
weekly or even per message frequency. Ascii art and lettering, borders, etc.
is old hat to most people, and multiple quotes in a single .sig are definitely
frowned on.
* Read all follow-ups and don't repeat what has already been said
This is especially important for answering questions that lots of people know
the answers to, such as "What's the name of that bald guy who founded the
X-Men?" or "When did Elrod last appear in Cerebus?" If you want to respond to
an article or query, mark it (use the "M" key in "rn"), make sure no one has
already said what you want to, and *then* go back and reply. Or, just be safe
and answer by e-mail instead of posting.
* Don't repost just because there were no follow-ups
Don't assume that, simply because there weren't any follow-ups to your post,
that it didn't go out. *Most* messages do not generate any follow-ups. If you
go and post the message again, simply because it didn't cause discussion or
get an answer to a question the first time, you will simply annoy others and
make yourself look foolish. If you're really concerned about whether your
posts are making it out, you might email a poster at a site other than yours
and ask if they'd check if they've received your posts.
* Double-check follow-up newsgroups and distributions
"Cross-posting" is the practice of posting the same article to multiple
newsgroups. If you're posting a review about the Akira movie, for example,
then it would be relevant to the newsgroups rec.arts.anime and
rec.arts.movies.reviews. Depending what you have to say (perhaps you are
comparing the film to the manga version), it might also be relevant to
rec.arts.comics.misc or rec.arts.manga. But try to limit crossposts as much
as possible, and when you feel you must cross-post, include a "Follow-up:"
line to only one of the newsgroups (in the sample case, probably "Follow-up:
rec.arts.anime").
"Distribution" refers to how far a post will propagate. While the majority
of r.a.c. readers and posters seem to be from the United States, there have
been posts from Canada, Mexico, Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, and
Australia/New Zealand, obviously meaning there are readers there as well.
For general comics matters, the correct distribution will be "world" so as
not to leave anyone out who isn't from your state/province, country, or
continent. On the flip side, if you're posting about a local event, post to
"local" distribution or whatever is appropriate (e.g., "nj" for New
Jersey). Sometimes it's hard to tell what's appropriate; thus, if you're
telling people about a convention in the Boston area, and some people from
outside Massachusetts might be interested (likely true), then you may wish
to post to a wider area, like "usa" or "na". But try to apologize in
advance when you do. Also, distributions don't always work, so if you in
Australia see a post for a small 1-day convention in Boston, don't flame
or otherwise admonish the poster without first checking that the
distribution line isn't in fact "ne" and the post has escaped its attempted
limitation.
* Cite appropriate references; don't use unnamed sources
In r.a.c, this means that it's preferable to include your source when stating
"news" or "rumors". For example, you might write, "I read in CBG that Alonzo
Mori won't be writing Suicide Squid after issue #100." That's preferable to
stating "I heard that..."
Please note that claiming unnamed "inside sources" is an almost sure way of
casting doubt on your credibility. People are only able to get away with this
to any degree once they've built up a reputation of being reliable, have shown
they do indeed know people in the industry, and when it's clear there's a good
reason for the anonymity. Keep in mind that there are several people here who
really do either know people in the industry or are actually professionals and
have established a reputation for reliability. All doing this sort of thing
will do is hurt your net.reputation for a long time, because you will get
called on it.
* Mark Answers or Spoilers
Ever had someone tell you events in a movie that you wanted to see, spoiling
the surprise? It's the same with comics. If something you say might "give
away" information about a new comic, state "WARNING: SPOILERS" at the
beginning and/or header of your article. Also, insert a "<ctrl>L" so that the
article doesn't scroll. In the "emacs" editor, this is done by typing <ctrl>Q
followed by <ctrl>L. In the "vi" editor, type <ctrl>V and then <ctrl>L. Note
that the <ctrl>L must be the first character on a line for this to work. If
you include quoted text which includes a <ctrl>L, you'll have to remove the
quote indicator character(s) or space in front of it for it to work.
* Review Suggestions
There are several people who post reviews of comics (usually on r.a.c.info)
periodically. Feel free to post your own reviews. Jim Drew has helpfully
provided the following suggested guidelines:
Jim's Rules of Review (like Robert's Rules of Order, and followed as often
B-)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Don't review it if there is nothing to say about it.
2. Don't review *everything.*
3. Have a broad spectrum of reviews -- include something no one else will.
3.a. Don't be *too* esoteric -- include something from Marvel or DC, too.
4. Develop a style for your reviews that is uniquely your own.
5. Discuss the plot/themes/art/etc. "I liked it" is insufficient.

WELCOME TO REC.ARTS.COMICS (part 5 of 7: Internet Resources General Information)

3) Introduction to FTP
4) Introduction to Gopher
5) Introduction to WWW (Web)
6) Introduction to IRC
7) Introduction to MUSHes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Please do not email the r.a.c. FAQ maintainer with questions about how to
FTP, gopher, or use the Web. I don't know how your system is set up. The
appropriate person to ask these questions of is your local system
administrator. The information here is intended to be a brief introduction to
these Internet access methods.
1) What is a URL?
The following parts of the Welcome messages contain information about various
comics resources on the net. Their locations are specified by what are called
URLs, which stands for Uniform Resource Locators. They look like the
following:
gopher://gopher.internet.com/msdos/text/manual1
ftp://ftp.sun.com:1100/pub/games/trek
http://info.cern.ch:80/start.html
The first part, before the :, specifies the access method, e.g. a
gopher, ftp, or hypertext document (http, used with WWW or the Worldwide Web).
Following the colon are two slashes, and then the name of the machine the
resource is located on (the :1100 and :80 indicate specific ports on the
machine). This is followed by a slash, then either a file name or any number
of directories, separated by slashes.
So, for example, the first URL indicates the access method is gopher, the
machine being connected to is named gopher.internet.com, the top level
directory is named msdos, its subdirectory is named text, and the specific
file or directory is named manual1.
A special case of a URL is one such as:
mailto:t...@hq.ileaf.com
Here, the method "mailto" indicates email, and the : is followed by the
address the email goes to. This is used in the Welcome messages both for
convenience, and because the messages are automatically converted into a
hypertext form where a user viewing them via a WWW browser will be able to
click on the URL to send mail.
2) How to do Usenet/FTP/Gopher/WWW by email
Many people may not have access to FTP, Gopher, or WWW since they require a
high degree of net connectivity. However, it is possible to access files
normally obtained using these methods by using email. Bob Rankin has written a
very useful summary of how to do this. To get a copy, do any of the following:
mailto:list...@ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu
Leave Subject: blank, and enter only this line in the body of the note:
GET INTERNET BY-EMAIL NETTRAIN F=MAIL
mailto:mail-...@rtfm.mit.edu
Leave Subject blank, and enter only this line in the body of the note:
send usenet/news.answers/internet-services/access-via-email
mailto:mail...@mailbase.ac.uk (for UK/Europe/etc.)
Leave Subject blank, and enter only this line in the body of the note:
send lis-iis e-access-inet.txt
It is also available via FTP at the following sites:
ftp://ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu/NETTRAIN/INTERNET.BY-EMAIL
ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/internet-services/access-via-email
ftp://mailbase.ac.uk/pub/lists/lis-iis/files/e-access-inet.txt
----------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Introduction to FTP.
Many resources are available at different sites on the net via a mechanism
called FTP (for File Transfer Protocol). Essentially, FTP allows you to
connect to a machine located elsewhere, and request that it send you a copy of
a file stored there. If you have an account on the remote machine, your access
to that machine's files is as complete as it would be if you were logged in
there. If you do not have an account, you will be using what is called
"anonymous ftp", and your access will be limited to those files which have
been made available for general, open, access.
If your system is fully on the Internet, use your local help command to get
information about how to use FTP (the actual FTP command is probably ftp, in
all lower case) to access the files listed in the Welcome posts. If your
system is not fully on the Internet, it is still possible to perform FTP
operations via email. See the above on how to learn how to do this.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Introduction to Gopher
Gopher is another utility for getting files from remote sites. It's a bit more
transparent to use than FTP, and makes it a easier to move from one directory
to another as well as to explore a tree of subdirectories. Gopher is
essentially a souped up FTP with descriptive information about directories and
files available, and a better user interface. If your system has gopher, use
your local help facility to find out how to use it (the command is usually
"gopher"). If not, see the above on how to perform gopher operations by
email.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
5) Introduction to WWW (Web)
The World Wide Web (WWW) project started by CERN seeks to build a world wide
distributed hypermedia system. With hypermedia, it's possible to "click on"
an object to traverse a link to where more information about that object is
located.
To access the Web, you need a browser program. The browser can read
hypertext documents and can access documents from other sources by
traversing links and accessing files by ftp, (Usenet) news, gopher, and
other methods. By selecting an object with a link, you can view text and,
depending on your browser, possibly related sounds and images as well.
Clickable objects are usually underlined, or a different color of text, or
cause the brower mouse cursor to change shape when over them.
The URLs mentioned above are derived from the WWW, but have quickly fallen
into common use as a consistant way of indicating the address of a resource
and the method that can be used to access it.
There are a number of different browsers available, such as Mosaic, Netscape,
lynx, and others. Most browsers, except lynx, allow you to view images, hear
sounds, etc. However, these requires a fairly major Internet connection. If
on a dialup connection or account, lynx is a browser which works with the text
components of the web; no images are viewable with this.
In general, you should ask your local sysadmin about what WWW browser(s) your
site has, and where to get more information about how to use them. However,
the basics of using the non-lynx browsers are simple enough to include here.
In general, you want to find a button or menu entry that is something like
"Open URL". This will prompt you to enter a specific URL, which will be where
you will then connect to. Pretty much all browsers allow you to add the
current document's URL to a "hotlist" or "bookmark" file which can be
displayed by the browser. You then only have to click on the descriptive name
of the document to move to it, rather than having to type in its URL.
For lynx, just type the command lynx, followed by the URL you want to
connect to.
If you need more help, a great newsgroup to post questions to is
comp.infosystems.www
----------------------------------------------------------------------
6) Introduction to IRC
IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. It allows large numbers of users to
talk to each other in real time, much like the Unix talk command or the VMS
phone command. IRC consists of a large number of channels, and users can
join the channel (or channels) that they are interested in and talk to other
people on that channel. See the IRC entry in part 8 for comics oriented
channels.
The best way to get on IRC is to get a program called an IRC client, which
will handle all of the details of connecting you to an IRC server. Check
with other people at your site to see if anyone else already has an IRC
client, or obtain the source code via anonymous ftp from cs-ftp.bu.edu in the
directory /irc/clients. Or just try typing "irc" at your command prompt.
You can also use the telnet server by typing "telnet tiger.itc.univie.ac.at
6668" at the command prompt; however, please do not use the telnet server
unless it is impossible for you to run a client. Its resources are very
limited. Please do not mail the FAQ maintainer to ask about how to hook up
your system to IRC; ask your local site administrator.
The anonymous ftp site cs-ftp.bu.edu has a lot of information about IRC, as
well as clients for almost every different operating system. You might
also want the following files:
/irc/support/alt-irc-faq Much more extensive information
about IRC and how to use it.
/irc/support/servers.* The complete list of publically
accessible IRC servers.
IRC is very extensive and a complete description of all the commands is
beyond the scope of this FAQ. Use the IRC command /help or read the
alt.irc FAQ (see above). All new users of IRC should type /help newuser to
get the new user information. Briefly, all commands in IRC begin with a
slash (/). Anything you type that doesn't begin with a slash is sent to
your current channel so that other users can read it. The command /join
<channel> where <channel> is the channel name joins that channel. The
command /quit will exit from IRC. Another important command is /ignore,
which will allow you to ignore messages from annoying people (much like a
Usenet killfile). Type /help ignore to get more information.
If you have questions, just /join #comics and ask someone. Most people
will be glad to help. One other note: you will hear about "ops" or
"channel ops" a lot on IRC. A person who has "ops" on a channel has
control over the way the channel functions. On #comics, we have found that
ops is too often abused to be useful, so we usually make sure no one on
#comics has ops.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
7) Introduction to MUSHes
A MUSH is a multi-user online game, a variety of tinymud, which is a
particular type of mud. The emphasis on MUSHes is roleplaying and
building, over combat. There are several comics oriented MUSHes where people
roleplay as comics characters which are listed in the following parts of
the Welcome messages.

WELCOME TO REC.ARTS.COMICS (part 6 of 10: Internet Comics Resources Index)

[last update: 3/17/95]
6. Internet Comics Resources Index
Parts 7-10 of the Welcome messages contain information about various comics
related files, graphics, mailing lists, MUSHes, etc. on the net and how to
obtain/access them. The remainder of this post contains the list of topics
for which there are net resources available.
A note about the format of the resources; each topic is arranged as
TOPIC NAME
What the resource is, maybe what the topic is
URL for how to get the resource
Second resource
URL for how to get second resource
Another URL for how to get second resource
URLs are described in part 5, and are used since reading these posts from
a Web browser, or refering to the OSU web pages for FAQs, will allow users
to just click on the URL to move to the resource. There is one format problem
however. One of the large r.a.c. archive sites is a gopher. For various
technical reasons, gopher URLs need the "/" directory separator replaced by
"%3A" and any spaces in the gopher entries replaced by "%20". Frankly, this
makes them pretty ugly, and often causes the URL to go over 80 columns in
length. Because of this, for such gopher entries I have also included a
pseudo-URL above the formal URL where "%3A"s are replaced by ":"s and spaces
are simply left as spaces. The idea is that if you gopher to the top level of
the gopher, you'll be able to follow the entries down to the resource from
there using the :ed pseudo-URL, which is somewhat more human readable than
the formal URL.

FORMAT NOTES:
The entry format here is:
---------------------------------------------
SUBJECT
description or more specific item
URL location
---------------------------------------------
i.e. the subject is in all capitals. On subsequent lines, indented two spaces,
is either a short description of the subject or a more specific item relating
to the subject for subjects with more than one item associated with them, such
as a FAQ, Annotations, etc.. After this, indented another two spaces, is a URL
designating the location of the item. See Parts 5 and 6 for a description of
URLs, and the explanation for why items found at cerebus.acusd.edu also have a
non-URL location designator. Each letter of the alphabet has a listing of the
form A-TAG to make moving in the list while doing upkeep simpler.

inkers, writers, colorists, letterers, heck, even editors) to meet.

Dominique Dumont has set up a comics trade service via computer. The idea
is that buyers and sellers both send buy and sell lists of comics to
a particular machine. A program compares what's for sale with what's wanted
and will notify potential buyers when a match is found.
To get information about this service,
mailto:do...@ss7serv.grenoble.hp.com
with the Subject: comic_market and the body of the message consisting of
:HELP: (include the :s and be sure the Subject: is only comic_market and
nothing else). The details of using the service are a bit long to be
included here.
If there are any problems, Dumont can be contacted at
mailto:Dominiqu...@grenoble.hp.com

Tell 'em to send it to me. I'm more than willing to accept contributions for
the FAQ with the twin caveats that I don't guarantee I'll include 'em and
that they're subject to mutually acceptable editing (i.e. I edit it and
send it back for the writer's approval before including edited significantly
contributions).

It was when it went in. That it's not being asked these days makes me
inclined to think it should stay in. :-) Besides, I offered it to the
Superman FAQkeeper, and it was turned down since that FAQ is purely
post-Crisis Superman based.
