Well, the Tolkien thread has petered out, so I thought I’d try my hand at starting up a new one. This one is based on non-superhero comics. Questions can be from any publisher or any era, as long as they don’t concern people who run around in long underwear and fight crime. This this is a broader topic than Tolkien, please don’t kill it by asking extremely narrow questions about arcane subject material (i.e. “Who made a cameo on page 4 of the 2nd issue of X?” (X being a small press title with a print run of 2000 copies that published 4 issues 23 year ago.) If you answer a question, you get to ask a question. Please use consecutive numbering for you questions Here’s fifteen realtively basic questions from all over the map to get the ball rolling. 1. How many moons does the world in Elfquest have? 2. Who were the Micronauts rebelling against? 3. Simon Archard is the greatest detective of what city? 4. What country did King Conan rule over? 5. How many issues did Cerebus run? 6. Who was the original publisher of Groo the Wanderer? 7. Reuben Flagg was a member of what law enforcement agency? 8. What was Lewis Prothero’s job title? 9. Complete the set: Judge Death, Judge Fear, Judge Fire, and … 10. What is Saotome Ranma deathly afraid of? 11. Who mentored the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? 12. Itto Ogami is the mortal enenmy of what clan? 13. Who is Star Hawkins’ robot secretary? 14. What logo is on Kevin Matchstick’s T-shirt? 15. Who is Fah Lo Suee’s brother? ---

All guesses on the original question are correct, except for cmkeller’s on #9. By my count, Bosda still has 3 questions to ask and cmkeller has 2. ---
