After reading the first issues of "Crisis", I had this nagging
feeling of familiarity. The basic image is this big inexorable
mass of *nothing* that slowly engulfs the many worlds of imagination.
But a small part remains and from this small part an entirely
new universe regenerates...
Wasn't this "The NeverEnding Story"? I don't claim that
the idea was copied; it took me weeks to figure out just
where in the murk of my memory this image was already buried,
and where it came from. But it'd be interesting to know
how well Mr. Wolfman liked the book or movie.
(hey, the idea of "an image buried in the murk of memory" is
also used in another part of the NeverEnding Story. And I
didn't even *like* the book!)
