I was digging through some old backups, and came across some html for old pages. Being a horrendous pack rat, I decided to do something with them... www.ectozone.com/archiveYou'll find such things as the very first Digibusters homepage, the anniversary pages from 2004 and 2005, the whimsical 88MPH version of the Timeline (compiled long before the comic came out and now way out of date), the early draft of "Tale of Atlantis" (A Chronicles of Gozer side story), and even my comments on Legion#1 |

Really neat to see the stuff that predated my discovery of this crazy place!
Glad you archive this stuff!
My only problem- the scans of the NOW letters show up for me as the dreaded "red x box of doom'. Just too lazy to go to the bookshelf and pull out the actual issues...
;D

Hm...they're doing that for me too. I'll have to recheck the copies on my hard drive--maybe I got an url wrong or something.

Of course, if the need neccesitated it you could transcribe the letters into actual text...
Might be easier on the bandwidth, depending on things.

The weird thing is, when I first read those letters (it worked), I remember thinking (I even mentioned it to my Mom, who didn't understand my RGB obsession at all) that I liked the way this Fritz Baugh thought, and that I loved his thoughts on Egon and Janine. Little did I know...

This was a great idea Fritz, a good way to highlight some things that you are particularly proud of. And I must say I'm glad to see those scans up, I had honestly forgotten that I'd sent them to you, lol.

The funny thing is that two weeks ago I found both comics at the Wizard World Tour convention in Philidelphia. So I don't really need to see the scan plus I can read the stories they're paired with. It's pretty funny that the letters were edited for space.  |

I think I own both... but it's funny seeing the Fritz we know now exist so far back and show such little change. History in the making, it was. |

I'd love to read the entire edited letter. For years. I wondered what had been cut. Fritz? Possible?

Not really. In those days, I wrote the letters by hand on notebook paper and mailed them the only copy. It wasn't until 1991 I had a word processor, and made photocopies of the letters for my own archive.
So I could dig up anything I wrote about Vol.2, though other than the brief note that appeared in Vol.2 No.1 none of those were printed.

Darn. Were you writing fanfics then, just out of curiosity (and the risk of derailing this thread)?

Darn. Were you writing fanfics then, just out of curiosity (and the risk of derailing this thread)? Well, sorta. I used to run a GBI campaign with my brother and a few friends (in its earlier days it was really wacky when we used action figures as props) and a few crude comic book style stories I'm still trying to figure out where they went--the very first version of "Invasion of the Danish Snatchers" was done this way, and there's another idea or two from those I may still use someday... I never actually wrote any prose GB stories until 2002, when I discovered the online community (Shiela Paulsen, Tobin's Archive, GBN, ect). Though I seem to have done okay since then... |
