I still don't know that an on-the-ball PR person wouldn't know this and be on the lookout for it, and I still get confused and slightly saddened when comic book plot points get reported like news.
* two at TCJ on Harlan Ellison: an obituary by Michael Dean; the 1979 interview with Gary Groth. My introduction to that interview's appearance in a TCJ collection is republished, including one or two insanely-structured sentences. I think Gary gets the context correct as to why that interview was important.
