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.

I was working in a comics shop for the entirety of the existence of the
company which published _Shadow of the Torturer_, and I can assure you that
the final issues of the series were not published. I cannot recall without
consulting my collection whether the final published issue was #3 or #4,
but I will check sometime soon and report.

By the way, these are *very* much worth owning. I don't think any other
artist has done as good a job of capturing the "look" of Urth as did Ted
Nafieh in this adaptation.=20
