	Neil Gaiman
		Tor Editor (and veteran editor of everything from Edwardian porn to comics) Teresa Nielsen Hayden has a marvellous blog, and may well be persuaded to share her wisdom in these matters.
		And Sandman won this year as "foreigner monthly comic book" since it has been republished monthly again for a great number of new readers who had never heard of it the first time around, or were just too young to pick it up.
		The different stories are comical and tragic, with a vein of subtle, dark humour building as the stories progress.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Alley Oop
		Alley Oop was never a big comic book star, but he's maintained a presence in that medium.
		He's far from the only one, of course — Rocky Stoneaxe, Tor, B.C. and Anthro are just a few of the other representatives of that ethnicity who have cavorted through the medium over the years — but he's the only one to travel in time on a regular basis.
		But the comic strip made so big a hit with fans, that comics' first fan award was named after it.

		AARON WOODLEY: Basically that's one of those images I remember from my childhood because it was that face, that Tor Johnson mask, that was in the back of every comic book like those X-ray specs.

	Re: [rehfans] The Scorpion King
		Comic book superhero-inspired movies are thus doing pretty well.
		The original Conan movie spawned a horrifying succession of bad movies such as the Deathstalker series, "Ironmaster", "Warrior Queen", "Warrior Princess", "Tor, Hunter from the Future", and many others which though cheap to make were almost complete duds at the box office.
		But "The Scorpion King" may be the vindication the film industry is seeking for this kind of film.
