Aren't lobsters black *before* you boil[1] them? That would explain a lot... Johnny Thunder has a lobster towing his raft! The only problem is... Lobsters do not live in fresh water.

(...) Unfortunately I'm afraid the Adventurers line has burned itself out--perhaps not in our eyes, but in the eyes of TLC.

Sam Sinister, in the US, isn't the Baron (with the hook and pith helmet)--he's the guy in the black suit, red shirt, and black top hat, with round glasses and a fiendish visage. So he's her brother? So (...) (24 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.adventurers)

Forgive me if I am asking something that has already been answered, but after all of the excitement over in the starwars group over next years stuff, I was wondering what next year holds for the Adventurers? I don't think I've yet read anything (...) (24 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.adventurers)
