I found it! It was in a dusty pile of my old role-playing stuff.

Cover art by H. E. Fassl.

[srboone]

first print of a second edition covers stuff up to 1997. Any fiction written after that isn't avail fro x-referencing.

And it's only 400 pages. But it sure seels like 700 when you constantly flipping back and forth between it's covers!

The border and this chapter headliner (used 26 limes) are the only interior art by Dave Carson.

Another comic: Issue #1 of Alan Moore's Yuggoth Cultures and Other Growths (2003). A 3-issue mini series ofsome of Moore's unpublished work put out by Avatar Press; collected into into a trade paperback in 2007. I only have issue #1 because some one sent it with a pack of other stuff because he thought I might like it. I do, but I never tried to find issues 2 and 3.

Wrap around cover art by Juan Jose Ryp.

I tried twice and those friggin' color/light bars appeared on the scan!

Issue 1 contains an illustrated (Ryp) poem, "Zaman's Hill"

and the first part of an unfinished graphic novel "Nightjar"; also included is the script for the first part of "Nightjar'. Moore left most of the unfunished pages on the seat of a London taxicab and was never able to reconstruct them. "Nightjar was later spun off into a 4-issue miniseries by Antony Johnston--but the vast majority of it was Johnston's work. The idea was Moore's.

"Nightjar" is how the next page begins.

I gotta stop this. I'm not getting any work done, and I always seem to find more stuff!

Very nice (and colourful) additions Mr Boone

[srboone]

I wouldn't call these additions--I kinda just found them while cleaning house.

But, thanks...

This message board is like my "Frankenstein's Monster". I'm just waiting for the villagers to come storming the castle with pitchforks.

[QUOTE=srboone;21303]1st print Moonshadow and Camelot 3000 (the only 30-month 12 issue series I can remember!)

Squire, it looks like you kept the best of the best comics-wise. All of these are treasured in my collection too. Camelot was a good story with incredible art. When I started working at the comic shop in 1984, people would ask every week about when C3000 #12 would be coming out. "Your guess is as good as mine," was the go-to answer. There were quite a few happy campers when it was finally released.

My question is: Where's the Swamp Thing stuff?
