...Gospel of Judas, which sheds new light on the history of early Christianity, and then the fishapod, a pre-historic creature thought to bridge the evolution from fin to feet. And this week sees the re-appearance of another, less world-historical but still woefully forgotten "missing link" in the evolution of the graphic novel medium. Kings in Disguise (W.W.

...Orpheus, it is John, his manager, who periodically comes to his apartment bearing news of a world gone mad for lack of his music; for Eurydice, it is Persephone, who extols the virtues of impermanence and forgetfulness.
