...That's interesting you should say that , because I have read that , though
you cite 12 hours of extras , I think I have read that the full-length , "
road-show " , " hrad ticket " completely uncut version that was shown in the
first theaters thbat showed it in 1962or so , then was edited somewhat down for
showing in smaller , " lesser " , theaters at that time , is still not
completely found ! Or was it ?
( Do you know what I am referring to in general ?
   This is a type of release pattern that isn't used much anymore for movies ,
but I believe many of us were alive and going to movies , at least some , when
that was still done .
   Films of that time often were longer in their " big theater " initial releases
then edited by a reel or two for their later , " nabes " , releases...Or ,
admittedly as well , if they were semi-flopping/seen as too long .
   I believe one of my father's all-time favorite movies , " Lawrence Of Arabia "
, was treated like that...So , when I saw both " LOR " and " IAMMMMW " in
theatrical releses in the 1970s , I saw the shorter versions , NOT the opening
night versions , I believe . )

This was a long movie when released (3.5 hours, I think) but they found in the
vaults something like 12 hours of film that was shot with different stunts and
gags.  That was all put onto DVD for the special edition.

These super-special-director's-private-vault editions of movies get a little old
after a while.  The only movies I've ever re-purchased to get the additional
features/footage were the Lord of the Rings films, only because we didn't see
them in the theaters, and didn't want to wait an extra year for the deluxe
editions.  But that worked out, as my son kept the basic editions to take to
college with him.

One movie that this was done with that blew me away (though I've never gotten
the chance to buy the DVD set) is "It's A Mad, Mad World", from the early 60's. 
This was a long movie when released (3.5 hours, I think) but they found in the
vaults something like 12 hours of film that was shot with different stunts and
gags.  That was all put onto DVD for the special edition.

...More additions:
   Re Archie:
   I meant that vintage National Lampoon , say , might've done a " Shotgun
Wedding " spoof...Let me praise Stan Goldberg ( + inker )'s art for walking the
fine line of doing a more " serious "/Very Special Episode story within a
humorous title , lots of times people who do that " fill out/solidify " the
characters a little too much , not so here...Oh , and I still think Regina and
Night Ranger should've been on the Watchmen soundtrack !!!!!!! So there .

...Well , maybe I either heard about it late or I'm just a 100% total dodblaimed
cynic , because I don't think I ever thought that it was " true " .
   I must have read of it on the Web first , but I don't remember where...
   Sice the story did involve aging the gang6-ish years...That is , unless might
have done , " A Riverdale Shotgun Wedding " , had happened !!!!!!!!!!!
   So even contemorary Archie fans , people who buy the present-day comics at
least some , had that impression ??????????? Hm .
   For mild implausibility in # 600-602's scenario:
   Even aged several years , modern-day Americans of middde-class or above really
rarely marry just out of college . 1959 this isn't , except , of course , in
Riverdale maybe sometimes it is !!!!!!!!!!!
   Even more " normally " , the Andrews are suprised by their twins - What , they
didn't take the saline/whatever they're called gender-checking tests that
essentially all American couples of any status take today ( Even if I guess
they've only been in the last 25-ish years or so , long after pert' near
everyone here let out their first wail . ) ?!?!
   Oh well . Next I'll be asking exactly what super-rich people nowadays send
their children to public school !
   Odd realism note . In #602 it is not until they are both waiting room
grandparents-to-be that Mr. Lodge tells Mom and Pop andrews " You can call me
Hiram . " !

Yes, we all thought it was a "real" event, then the next week we found out it as
not.  The other thing I recall from that week in limbo was a massive outcry from

JGBook2007.  I'm sure JG will treat this place with the kid gloves it deserves. 
Thanks to Darci for volunteering to handle the chores here, I appreciate it. 
Also thanks again to LT for all the months of work he put into CC.

Good luck JG.

Back In A Flash,

...I think they did in the comics press , didn't they , even initially ?????????
   Maybe they responded to comics-press inquiries after the announcement with "
Weeellll..." answers , technically not admitting it ?...........
   I will admit , at a non-comics board I'm on elsewhere , it was posted as a
straightforward " Archie gets married " story , so...

...In the recent past , they had been offering Web-only subscriptions more
cheaply than double-dipped , and I forgot to mention that the new version will
continue the numbering .
   By " differing every issue " , I mean that , I think , each book-issue might
have more of a " theme " , and be not nessecarily the same page size/thickness
each time .
   A few years back they published some TPB " special " larger-sized issues , I
had at least on , it was reasonably good .
   I'm uncertain if the new version will have advertising .
   A " book " format would seem to suggest not .
   I liked AMAZING HEROES too:-) !!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the update.  I thought you were going to write they were switching
to an electronic edition, as some other magazines have done.  It will be
interesting to see how this move works out for them.
FWIW, I preferred their late, lamented Amazing Heroes magazine to TCJ.
Thanks again,

They didn't admit it was an Imaginary Tale when the arc started, which got them
all kinds of free publicity in the mainstream press. Now that it's common
knowledge, it probably is being ignored again.

   So !!!...

...Is anybody else here - This is NOT the first topic , nor are the couple posts
after this one . - that the classic Disney " Ducks And Mice " comic-book , not
creations , but always present in a well-stocked comic-book rack , Donald and
that lively ol' senior citizen Mickey and all that mob are back in funnybooks ?
   C/O of BOOM! Entertainment's BOOM! Kids line !
http://www.boomkids.com
It's the FIFTH company to make a swing at Uncle Walt's characters , since Gold
Key/Whitman/Western went out of the funnypapers trade early in the comics shop
era !

! Sheesh ! )

OK , please excuse my self-indulgence here , this here is a message that ,
earlier , I sent , responding to some things said by some-one else here then ,
as well as a factual addition re: them funny ol' funnybooks .
  It did not go upp then .
  For whatever.........
  Now , I'm cleaning out the drains , and putting it back up .
  While I grant that some of it responds to some-one else's quasi-political
suggestion , I don't really encourage - any of us - getting into political
statements .
  Arguments on that you can find loads of places !!!!!!!!!!!

Howdy !!!!!!!!!!!
" How 'dung ? " , as my late father ( Harrison S. Lilly - 1924-1999 - His taste
in comics ran more to Milton Caniff , Lil' Abner , Peanuts , Blondie , Beetle
bailey , and Doonesbury...) would put it !
I'm the MOderator now , and I'm runnin' this joint , y' hear ???!!??!!? ( Um -
at your toleration , Jay - Heh hehheh...........)

Below are two sites I found that have pics of many, many GLC members. I thought
these sites were cool enough to share, if some members don't know about them.

Some of these Lanterns are not well known, but I think they are very visually
interesting, really cool looking. Among those I thought were interesting were
Garmin Vid, M'Dahna, Palaqua, Perdoo, Volk, and Voz.

I would be interested to know what Lanterns on these sites other group members
liked.

Here are the links:
