[net.comics] A Capitol Offense

oz@rlgvax.UUCP (THE GREAT AND POWERFUL OZ) (03/31/84)

And how does one have a visit to his comic book store ruined?  Especially
when it is his first visit in over 2 weeks.  Well, first of all he could
see that there were only about 4 books that came in over the last 2 weeks
(at least none of them had "shooters stamp" on them).  He could also be
told that his last issue of Badger was just that, the last issue of Badger!

According to the managers of Geppies Comic world in Silver Spring, Capitol
comics has folder, gone belly up, bit the big one, "is a deceased parrot."
The current hope is that some reputable company (First comics perhaps?)
will pick up both NEXUS and BADGER.  Hell, I really like WHISPER too.

Anybody else out there have more details on how this happened?  I am sure that
we would all like to know.

				Drat the luck,

					OZ
