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.

Cliff Drane,

	I can recommend the three SHADOW comics. The artwork is the best at
representing the feel of the book; better than any of the book covers I
have seen. And the Maitz covers are my favorite, as covers. These comics do
more than grab the eye of the bookstore browser trying to judge by the
cover. They have an odd quality that I found appropriate to Severian's
tale. If I am not mistaken, Gene Wolfe did the adaptation. Of course the
text is abridged. But the essentials to the story are still there. You will
be disappointed however, disappointed that there are only three issues and
they only take you part way into SHADOW. I would have liked to see the
completed series. Well worth twice the price just to see some of the scenes
illustrated.
