Page 2 might be prep work for a character in, I think, Delayed Stress Syndrome Funnies (1982).

Scrap Race to Acropolis

This originally appeared as a story in Delayed Stress Syndrome Funnies (1982) and was repackaged in minicomic form by One Man Studio (that One Man being Chris Bors) in Ithaca, New York in 1985.

In other repackaged works like this, Chris usually had a print run of 50, so I'll guess Scrap Race to Acropolis has about the same number.

I'll explain more about the background of this story once we get to the original publication.

Omnia Mutantur

Omnia Mutantur means, loosely, "All things change," so there's no use Roman around a Latin dictionary to find the definition of this term.

Heh. "Roman around" ... get it?

Anyway, this is yet another example of a story repackaged for the mini format. This one originally appeared in Delayed Stress Syndrome Funnies in 1982. One Man Studio (Chris Bors) in Ithaca, New York printed up 50 numbered copies in 1985. Chris apparently hand colored each one. The portrait on the back wasn't part of the original story and I can't quite place the source for it.

Here, let me actually get out of my chair and go check. It'll be the most exercise I get all evening.

[SW leaves. In the background are sounds of vault doors opening, empty suits of armor crashing on ground, cats yowling, and then SW giving a shout, "A-HA!!"]

OK, I'm back. And who was that who just described my actions in the square brackets? Weird.

Anyway, that last page on Omnia Mutantur was originally the illustration on the inside of the front cover (or what library catalogers would call "P. [2] of cover") of the above mentioned 1982 monograph. So that solves that little problematic question.

Next.
