These are keepsakes, not comics to be thrown away. Indeed, Oliveros, 38, has published nearly all of today's top talent, including Chris Ware, Joe Sacco and underground legend Robert Crumb.

Several months before Barcelona, Kendall was thrown from a power boat, its propeller severing a tendon and breaking a bone in her wrist. During a remarkable recovery, she trained with her brother Bruce (Olympic boardsailing champion in '88). "It never occurred to her that she couldn't beat him," recalls Beck.
