oz@rlgvax.UUCP (THE GREAT AND POWERFUL OZ) (10/24/83)
Actually, I must confess that I lied a little in my subject line. This
isn't a story ABOUT MARS, but is a story TOLD by the MARS author.
You see the writer of MARS was at Geppies of Silver Spring on a promotion
tour. He informed me that once he was on a comic panel with various people
including the author of WARP. Since this was a typical panel, all of the
fans wanted to hear about "Spidey" or The inedible Bulk, not from someone
that wrote a comic with a wierd name. The moderator took pity on the WARP
author and said, "You know, I have always wondered, do you think of the
WARP characters as superheros?" The WARP author (you'd never know that I
can't remember his name, would you) speaks very slowly, and with many
pauses. "Well," said he, "I have always been a superhero lover..." After a
terrible pause, Mark and Marc (of MARS "fame") looked at one another and
said "What a man!"
Maybe you HAD to be there.
