...cover story. It was edited by John Elson and researched by Alexandra Mezey, a sportswoman who has postponed her vacation in order to see the fight. Of the team, only Kennedy claimed to be the classic fight fan: "I'm a screamer and a yeller, a foot stomper, a seat pounder. I'll admit to a certain blood lust, a sense of impending disaster. I wait for the big punch that will...
HERE YOU have to give Edelmann points: the subtle coloring works consistently well, and most of the malevolents (Blue Meanies and denizens of the Sea of Monsters) are top-notch cartoon creations. An evil-grinning feline called a Butterfly Stomper provides a hysterical 30 seconds of irrelevant wickedness; a flying glove proves a wonderfully Kafkasque weapon, and an anteater-cum-dinosaur happily devours everything in sight (including the frame background) by drawing it into his vacuum-cleaner snout.

Aggressively, he added: "But we are ready and the orders are to shoot it down...
...Brooklyn, armed teen-aged gangs named the Greene Avenue Stompers, the Nits, Chicos and Gay Nineties had been feuding for weeks-ever since the Nits fatally stabbed a 15-year-old Stomper as he sat in a parked car with a girl. They agreed to fight it out on Memorial Day. Police assigned 150 cops to the area...
