BOTNS Comic preview

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Yes, it's bad. Let him read it through at least once on his own before 
getting all the answers (and the different versions of the answers) here.

The comic is pretty good (unlike Lane I rather like the artwork), and 
does less damage to the work than Peter Jackson did to Tolkien. Only 
three issues were published, alas.
