This "DaHeidi Code" just comes out of nowhere! I hope you spill the beans on your life's story someday. By crazy stuff, I mean stuff about comics and the industry.

I wish you'd write stories again. You write about all this wild and crazy stuff, but I’ve always felt that you must have a more interesting story of your own. I wish you’d write stories again.

Orson Welles would have had a field day putting this story to celluloid!

Eventually you resorted to check marks of books you got and Xs for books you didn't get and - for books you have no interest in. The real mystery is what do the letters represent, P, A, M and Z. I'm thinking the Z are actually 2's. It could be they came out twice that month, one in 2nd week, the next in week 5 like with Thriller or New Mutants. One of them could be the annual. The P could stand for Probably or Possibly. Like you didn't know for sure it came out that week (or month) but you think it did. M could be Missed. Something you didn't get, but wanted to. A I'm still unsure about. The obvious answer is Annual, but Camelot 3000 didn't have an Annual so that doesn't make any sense.

Well, either that, or you'll perplex somebody with your uber nerdiness. ;-) Wonderful post, Heidi! Bravo!

The Olympics, living in a tent, race tracks, using PAYphones, grifters, dead chickens, and then the truly confounding plastic hinges!!! THAT is a story that I want to read. Come on now, The Beat KNOWS there's plenty of their friends that would jump at the chance to illustrate The Beat's formative years. But what to call it? Hmmm....
