If you had asked me to name a comic book that would use the word 'ratiocination', I would not have picked Scooby-Doo. Nor would I have thought there would be so many zombies in one Previews. Surely this craze is past its sell-by date? No teenage zombie ninja turtles so far, though.

And Radio Comix is back! But will they stay? Also Flight #7 and some new titles.

No doubt the poem will have been in plain sight all the time.

RADIO COMIX (www.radiocomix.com)
MAY101102 Furrlough #190 48pg, b&w $9.99
by many
'The longest running anthropomorphic anthology continues with an all-new format with 48 big pages and perfect binding! In this issue, "Ebin & May" by fan-fave Christina "Smudge" Hanson delivers more delightful medieval romance. Also, "Dragon Quest" by Greg Older and Style Wager, and "Tales of Marga" by Thor Thorvaldson Jr. Plus, shorts by Phil "Poinko" Gibson, David Goodman, and more!' A bit pricey for me but I'll give it a try; some good series here.

MAY101103 Untamed 64pg, b&w $11.99
by many more
'From the creators of Anubis: Dark Desire comes Untamed, a new graphic album of erotic romance that thrills with the taste of forbidden lust! This sumptuous package features beautifully illustrated tales of anthropomorphic passion and the sensual interplay of fur on skin! Features stories and art by Heather Bruton, Diana Harlan-Stein, Sara Palmer, R. Gibson, Terrie Smith, Style Wager, Blotch, and more!' From these folks I expect good art but I am less sanguine about the stories.
