A WORD FROM THE EDITOR
Really busy last month so nothing new review wise.
May do one of the Hugo novels and the new Silver Surfer
comic by Joe Straczynski. This month is an experiment in pic-
tures (thanks Hector). It looked OK on my inkjet printer so I
am hoping they look good on the laser printer I use at UCF.
Thanks again to everybody at the con.
