Every day, buses and cars crammed with bicycles, stereos and followers of the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh pull away from the main gate of the guru's now defunct commune in the remote hills of Oregon. Since the Rajneesh pleaded guilty to a federal charge of immigration violation and departed last month for India, after firing a bitter parting shot at the U.S. ("I never want to return"), his 1,300 disciples have been scattering like college...

For a scene in which Katrina performs one of her drop-dead stage acts, Jones' friend, New York Artist Keith Haring, agreed to body-paint her with...
...scene looks exactly like something from a mainstream superhero book, but with important differences. Thanks to starting his career drawing a different kind of loser hero, Marvel's ill-conceived Dazzler series, about a crime-fighting roller disco queen, Chadwick knows the basics of the mainstream look. Using the best of that style, such as its dramatic angles, to create dynamic pages, Chadwick also infuses the artwork with quirks, like the frequent use of X-ray shots into a character's body, so that no one could mistake it for mere hackwork. Another major difference between The Human Dilemma...
