ParticipantI'd like to think that technology like that described in the story will be around someday, perhaps even someday very, very soon.
ParticipantAn ending to this story has got to be written for the sake of a possible graphic novel – trade paperback, I mean.
ParticipantShal Bal, apart from her appearances in the POOL OF RADIANCE novel and the sequel to the POOL OF RADIANCE game – which was called POOLS OF DARKNESS – appears in the AD&D HEROES' LOREBOOK that was put out by TSR before it was bought out by Wizards Of The Coast. She looks like the model and actress, Anna Nicole Smith.
ParticipantThe reason for Shal's Amazonian growth spurt may lie in the fact that in the original POOL OF RADIANCE computer game there were – as was typical of the TSR computer games of that period – slots for four player characters. (Other games had slots for up to SIX player characters, but that's another story).
Probably there were originally intended to be four player characters in the novel as well, but one of them didn't work well and had to be dropped. Shal was given a scene intended for that original character near the end of the novel, where she summons a rainstorm and typhoon using her magic, and so she had to be given a major growth spurt so that her character would fit more properly into the scene.
ParticipantOriginally, Daffy was drawn rather fat, but later when Matt Baker took over the character, she was made much slimmer. His explanation of this is that she sweated off all her baby fat when she battled a villain who had the power to control heat or cold, which left her with a much slimmer – and much nicer – figure.
ParticipantOddly enough, for this outing, Arthur Adams and Sandra Hope have made her look like the roman copy of Myron's statue of the Discus Thrower – not the Townsley Discobolus, the one with its original head still intact.
Participant;)As I understand it, the plot is a spoof of the STAR TREK episode "Mirror, mirror," which also takes place in a mirror universe. Ironically, however, although the idea of the alternate universe rejecting Captain Kirk, Scotty, and Uhura was in the original outline for that specific episode, it was deleted from the final script, leaving no reason for them to want to go home.
ParticipantSerum 157a . . . hmm . . . that sounds like a story I found in the Altered Comics section of Femur's TG Comics website.
ParticipantGreat news, everybody! The Madame Strange story from GREAT COMICS #1 has been reposted at MyComicBooks3! Now everyone who missed reading the story the first time can read it again on the very same YAHOO! Group.
ParticipantWildfyre must have used a wish spell to make those children bigger and stronger – that wouldn't wear off!
