Issue 1 is just being released this week.  Perhaps next week or the following week the mag will show up on discount sites? I don't know how these things work with comics.

Also, when searching, make sure you're not getting the Gold Key DS Digest thing, subtitled "The Interrupted Journey."  My local shop inadvertently ordered one of those when I first asked them to hold issue 1 of the Dynamite comic for me.  When I said I didn't want the Joe Certa horror, they just put it out on the shelf so luckily I did not have to pay for it.

Best,

I'm not into the American Werewolf in London films (weren't there two or three of them?) and have never seen them.  On the other hand, I have seen The Howling, which I thought was an evocative and well-done take on lycanthropy, and the Howling II, which is sheer kitschy FUN--the movie stars Christopher Lee (at one point seen wearing Eighties New Wave vizor sunglasses) and the breasts of Sybil Danning.  The "werewolf three-way" with Sybil as Stirba, Queen of the Werewolves, her Wolfy High Priest, and a very hot female wolfina played by gorgeous Marsha Hunt, has to be seen to be believed.

Another weird episode of Dank Shadows, episode 15, has just been posted on Youtube.  In this one the gender-bending reaches feverish heights as guests beginning arriving for Carnabas' Costume Ball... The plot is really going off on its own tangent now rather than simply parodying the 1967 storyline.

Great stuff for those of us with a really warped sense of humor!

I love Will's first scene with Maggie Collins.  That whole first week of PT (after the teaser scenes) is just brilliant.

It's disappointing that after the return from Tarrytown, Liz goes back to being like a watered down version of our timeband's Liz--especially in wardrobe. As we see her initially, she looked the kind of spinster or widow lady who would volunteer a lot at the church or a nursing home.   Liz has one line in which she refers to having had money but she gave it to Roger to manage or invest and he lost all of it.  Now Roger and Elizabeth have to rely upon a monthly allowance given them by Quentin.

I'm glad that PT Roger had a consistently defined persona and that we gradually learned more about him.

I think of this as the last strongly told and thought out storyline of the series.  After 1995 it's all downhill, alas.

Nice to see that Depp had time to amuse himself with this sort of thing while he was in London.

I don't know the show, but the punchline of this skit almost made me laugh out loud.

Cathy, does Depp smoke in real life?  I turn to you as the ultimate authority.

It's funny that only one of the three images on Angelique's page actually shows Angelique.

I think Evil Willow's photo kicks everyone else in the ass.  Someday I'll have to watch her episodes.  And maybe then I'll understand what they mean about the "yellow crayon."  I finally, finally found out about "it must be bunnies!" this week thanks to a friend sending me a Youtube link.

I wish Evil Willow hadn't turned to the Light Side.  In the old days we had a saying... "better blatant than latent."

But enough...

Happy Birthday Cousin Taeylor!
