...when I grew up. When I graduated from high school, I went down to New York to visit Marvel and DC and the editors there were encouraging. They said I had talent but that I should come back in a year. So I went to art school in the interim. I went for a year, and then quit and went back down to New York and was rejected again, although again encouragingly so. But that was around the time I was losing interest in superhero comics anyway. I started self-publishing mini-comix in 1983. Then, in 1986 Vortex comics...
...desecration of the dead. Because of the sheer savagery of the attack and the likelihood of U.S. retaliation, last week's massacre also heightened the sense of uncertainty about what comes next.

...Despite its stated intention to maintain the timetable for handing over to an Iraqi interim government, the Bush administration may yet be forced by events to again revise its thrice-revised political plan for Iraq. Because in the face of the new security and political crisis, its vow to "stay the course" in Iraq may require both rethinking the transition process and reinforcing its troop commitment. That may not be the image of Iraq the Bush administration had hoped to showcase on the presidential campaign trail - but then, it's not as if Senator John Kerry is advocating anything less...
