From: Bruce <Leban%hplabs.csnet@csnet-relay.arpa> A "6 issue rodent series", $2.25, published by Eagle Comics. Based on the books by Harry Harrison, adaptated by Kelvin Gosnell, art by Carlos Ezquerra. According to the blurb on the inside front cover, the six issues will reprint adaptations of /The Stainless Steel Rat/, /The SS Rat Saves the World/ and /The SS Rat for President/ which were originally printed in the British SF weekly /2000 A.D./ between 1979 and 1984. The adaptation is reasonably accurate, as far as I can remember. One objection is that the series reduces three 100+ pages paperback books to six 42 page comic books, which seems like a loss in detail. Some of this is admittedly picked up in the art, but the net effect is a shorter story. It's worth looking at, at least to see if Ezquerra's image of Di Griz looks anything like yours. And maybe we can get back to work on casting the Rat movie.... I vote for Ronald Reagan as Inskipp ((:-) anything to get him out of the White House!). -------
