Since a few of you have asked: by "OTBP," I mean "Off the Beaten Path." These are comics that are not from one of the major publisher in their categories, or may not be available on the Direct Market grid at all. Today's selection, for example, I've only seen in one comics shop and then in the discount bin: the wonderful Big Fun Comics Magazine, which in its latest issue features 200 pages of Warren Tufts' adventure strip Lance, which as one of the last full-page newspaper offerings should look great at the proportions offered in a magazine.
