Well, I'm not sure what you think it is, or how you figured it out, but
if I'm right, it was given away on the first page of the "V" installment
in WARRIOR #23. Not to say that Alan Moore isn't devious, of course; I
think it's safe to assume that I virtually worship the ground that he
walks on. I know of only two other people who think of him as highly as
I do --- Will Shetterly and Emma Bull of Steeldragon Press.

"Hey, Jerry."
"Yes, Emma?"
"Will and I got a Christmas card from God!"   :-)
