Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly The "Know Your Legion Worlders!" Game!

RhL, the Monza was my first car.

Hey you! You're right. I never owned an A4.

[My second car was a Monza. We used clamps to keep the doors closed. S'true!]

What is the only comic book series I've followed faithfully for 17+ years continuously?

What no multiple choice?

I'll go with the obvious: Legion

no multi... but I'll add a clue with each guess.

Not LSH... I only picked it up rarely on the first go-around 'tween 89 and 02. Shame on me; but good for back-issue dealers, I guess.

clue #1: one of the artists from the "Legion Worlds" mini was associated with the book for a couple of years.

I've never heard of the Monza!

Detective Comics

nope.

Hint: like Detective, it's a book that's run continuously throughout the 17+ years I speak of (barring the infrequent late issue)... with no relaunch or interruption of it's numbering.

X-Men?

nope.

Hint: It is a DC book.

Batman

Action Comics

Superman.

I think that cover all the DC comics that have continuously published of 17 years without renumbering.

nope... good guesses.

Hint: although the main character appeared in many different books (mostly from his introduction in '83 or '84, and into the early 90s), there have only been three guest-stars in this book (not counting side miniseries or brief mentions). Zatanna is one of them.

Flash? (So clueless. ><)

nope.

Hints from here on will either make it so damn obvious, or else be head-scratching obscurities, but here goes...

A movie was made based upon this book.

Steel?

nope.

Hint: No one has ever worn a super-hero costume in the book - not even Zatanna.

Hellblazer?

That's the one!

Go ahead, BRM!
(PS - is it me, or have you not been around much lately?)

IIRC, the last question I posed in this game was about costume pieces I've acquired for various theater productions; this one's about props.

Which two items in the following list do I not own?

A Battle-Axe
A Mace
A Shield
A Broadsword
A Gladius (Roman-style shortsword)
A Katana (Japanese-style sword)
A Fencing Foil
A Sword-Cane
A pair of Duelling Pistols
A Bullwhip
A Cat-o'-Nine-Tails

(Reply to PS: Well, I haven't posted much lately; I do most of my posting here in the Spaceopoly forum, and I haven't known the answers to many of the questions posed in the past few weeks (or someone beats me to them). I do still visit this site several times a week.)

A Cat-O'-Nine-Tails and a Battle Axe?

A Battle-Axe
A pair of Duelling Pistols

bumping the question to the next page

No and no.

The pistols (non-firing replicas, BTW, no real antiques in my collection) have seen service in The Pirates of Penzance: the Pirate King and Ruth are armed when they first appear in Act II.

The Battle-Axe was a closeout special in a Museum Replicas catalog some years ago ([Pepperpot] It was a bargain! [/Pepperpot]). It eventually appeared in a production of The Yeomen of the Guard, carried by the Tower Executioner at the end of Act I.

The Cat-o'-Nine-Tails was purchased specifically for a production of H.M.S. Pinafore in which I was playing Captain Corcoran; it appears in the last verse of the duet between the Captain and Dick Deadeye in Act II:

"Good fellow, you have given timely warning,
Sing hey, the thoughtful sailor that you are!
I'll talk to Master Rackstraw in the morning:
Sing hey, the Cat-o'-Nine-Tails and the Tar!"

Eight items remain.

A Shield
A Katana (Japanese-style sword)
