by Tom Orzechowski & Andrew Grossberg and Greg Capullo & Mark Pennington & Todd McFarlane

"Showtime" Part 2
Dedicated To: Roy Thomas
...Yousef Volokhov, a visiting scientist from the East-West Atomic Warfare, Science and Applications Conference, is still unaccounted for...

Percival Issacsen-Smythe, please... Fitzgerald, Terence D., A5A-923777... Yo Percy. I just got the bejeesus kicked out of me. Nah, some match-crisp dude helped me out.

I had so much to learn from you, Houdini-- if you really were Houdini.

Daring Escapes #1-4 (1998)

by Tom Orzechowski & Andy Grossberg and Alan Weiss & Jim Fern & Art Nichols


Spawn-Batman (1994)

by Frank Miller & Todd McFarlane

Among the dregs of humanity, Batman listens-- for any scant clue... now and then he hears legends of one of their own named "Al"-- a bum possessed with magical powers. Nonsense, he thinks.

It's not just a story. It was Batman. And if he's working for Nadia Vladova-- or Margaret Love, as she's calling herself-- then he's not the hero everybody says he is...

Spawn #19

by Greg Capullo & Mark Pennington and Tom Orzechowski & Andrew Grossberg

"Showtime" Part 1
Dedicated To: Chris Claremont
This atomic event may tell us something about the effects of mundane high-energy particle bombardment on infernal matter.

Elsewhen/where: The place is known as The Overlap. It is a reality that intersects all planes of existence. It is the birthplace of what's called magic.

There's no way I'm going to believe you're Harry Houdini... Aren't you dead or something?

WildC.A.T.s Trilogy #1-3 (1993)

by Jae Lee and Brandon Choi & Dafydd Wyn

WildC.A.T.S Special #1 (1993)

by Travis Charest and Steve Gerber with various

...I suppose Hightower's entitled to some braggin' rights this time. He and that Coda, Sister Artemis, got the drop on us but good. I guess that's the worst part for me, The Grifter, bein' suckered by my old friend, Lonely, into a trap, only to be used as bait to lure the other WildC.A.T.s.

Bring you back to Themiscrya and lead a revolt against me, Andromache, the ruling Majestrix of The Coda!

The most brutal war on the planet-- at the moment-- is the one between Yurgovia and Kasmia in Eastern Europe. The Kasmians are poorly organized, poorly armed-- all but defenseless against the armies of the Yurgovian Baroness Destine.
