In preparation for our upcoming move I finally broke down and bought a long box at the local comic shop. Just in time, it turns out. All my floppies together pretty much filled it up. I would have had a little wiggle room, but the bargain boxes had some new stuff. I found four or five issues of Sensational She-Hulk and a like number of The Omega Men. I don't really know anything about the latter except that it's set in outer space and the covers look full of soap operatic melodrama. Come days, that's all I need to know to spend a couple of bucks on back issues. I also found the last issue of Sectaurs, a crappy toy tie-in book. I don't normally buy crappy toy tie-ins, but this one was written by Bill Mantlo. That guy is awesome.

I ran 3 games of Shadowdark at *Philly Area Games Expo* (PAGE), a
convention that seems to be gaining some traction in the area here in it's
second year...
Lobo first appeared in the Omega Men series, though at the time he was much less... Lobo-ish.
ReplyDeleteSectaurs. Heh, He-man with bug eyes and antennae. It's just like that scene in Big. "Lets take gi-joes, put gills on them, and pack them in sea weed."
