You may recall that when Archontis began this feature, he mentioned that
he would be posting the contents of *last week's* issue. This is because,
for reasons known only to the publishers, MIKY MAOUS etc. are distributed
in Thessaloniki one week after they are distributed in Athens.

Perhaps not so strange, as from what I've seen of Massimo De Vita's art,
I'd call it an acquired taste, rather than perfect.

As for the script, it somehow seemed too simplistic for my tastes.
Having begun my acquaintance with the field of fantasy by reading Tolkien,
I'm afraid that my standards are a bit high in this area.

Oh, and it was more like three stories set in the same universe, rather
than a single story.

> Massimo De Vita is no *new* Italian artist :-)

He is to me! I did mention that I'm turning into an *old* grouch,
didn't I? ;-)

Is there really a town in Norway called Hellenes?!?!?

For those who don't know, "Hellenes" is the Roman alphabet transcription
of the name we Greeks use for ourselves, in the same way that our
country's name is "Hellas" rather than "Greece".
