I must say I'm currently jealous of all the students recently appearing in the city with their thick heads of lustrous hair

I hope a lone brave Fatehead travels all the way there to get it, just as 90s Fate himself travels the globe searching for mystical artefacts (I think)

was looking for a photo for that "post a pic of you from a different era" thing but they're all just making me miserable!!! Healthy stuff m8. Also I think I've roughly triangulated that I've had a beard for 8 years, which means I've not felt like myself for 8 years. I am not a beard man!!!

I don't remember the comic being as saucy as that cover suggests, but I also forgot he de-aged and became a vertigo shades guy briefly. Maybe I was wrong to get rid of these comics (I wasn't)!!!

No, see, what they've actually revived here isn't Karen Berger Vertigo, it's Axel Alonso Vertigo, which is a different beast entirely. This one will just cause some dudes to wear trench coats.

Might be mixing them up, as this is the era of Dr Strange shaving his head and sitting shirtless in a 'pocket universe' while his two Magickal Constructs (a sleazy club owner and a Cool Superhero) do all the work for him. I wish it was good!!! I would love an omnibus of 90s badboy Fate though

Jack Kirby talking about Darkseid and the anti-life equation: “If someone
took control of your mind and you were not able to think as yourself any longer you would no longer be yourself. You'd be something in his command. You as an individual would be dead. That's anti life.”

In 1971, comics legend Jack Kirby created SPIRIT WORLD, an adult-oriented magazine based around the paranormal. Featuring his trademark collages, Spirit World freaked DC Comics out so much that they published it under a non-existent imprint, Hampshire Distributors!

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."
