ARMAGEDDON COULDN'T STOP HER. OR COULD IT? LADY DEMON RETURNS IN FEBRUARY FROM CHAOS! COMICS!

Scottsdale, AZ - October 15, 1999 - In Hell, she was one of the elite - guaranteed favor by the Archdukes and the other infernal powers. Now that Hell is no more thanks to Armageddon, Lady Demon has set her sights on earth. After mysteriously surviving the conflagration that destroyed the rest of the Chaos! Cosmos, Lady Demon has come to earth, only to find an all-too-familiar scenario of espionage and covert operations that would put even the Archdukes' most diabolical plots to shame.

Co-written by Lady Demon creator Brian Pulido and Len Kaminski, Lady Demon #1 kicks off an all-new three issue miniseries starring comics' sultriest femme fatale. Pencils for Lady Demon will be by Ken Lashley, with inks by Curtis Arnold and colors by Jason Jensen. To top off this great package, Lady Demon #1 features a stunning painted cover by David Michael Beck!

"We heard fans' demands, and now, after Armageddon, we're answering them," says Pulido. "Fans who remember Lady Demon from her first appearance in Lady Death: Between Heaven and Hell to fans of her later appearances will want to check this miniseries out. She was always been a bit of an enigma in the original Chaos! Cosmos. Now that the Dark Millennium has started and everything is new and different than it ever was, her mystery has only deepened, especially when readers find out that while she's battling outside forces that threaten to consume her, she's also battling her own curse - her own very humanity."

In addition to the regular version of Lady Demon #1, Chaos! is also proud to offer the first issue of this landmark new series in a premium version with a fully painted cardstock cover by Dorian (Lady Death vs. Vampirella II) Clevanger. This rare, collectible version is limited to 3,000 copies.

COMICS AHOY!

"MAKING WAVES": THE COMICS EVENT OF THE NEW MILLENIA

APRIL 9, 2000 represents the opportunity of a lifetime for comics fans: hobnobbing with the industry's finest on a WEEK-LONG LUXURY CRUISE. On board will be some of the comics medium's leading writers and artists, including NEAL ADAMS, KURT BUSIEK, DAN CLOWES, WILL EISNER, JULES FEIFFER, NEIL GAIMAN, JAIME and GILBERT HERNANDEZ, FRANK MILLER, BRIAN PULIDO, P. CRAIG RUSSELL, JEFF SMITH, ADRIAN TOMINE, MATT WAGNER, MARK WAID, and many more.

MAKING WAVES is a unique chance for comics aficionados to wine, dine, and above all, converse with some of their favorite creators. Far removed from the chaos that often surrounds these artists at comic conventions or store signings, the cruise will present an informal atmosphere where we can all talk to each other. And all proceeds from the event benefit the COMIC BOOK LEGAL DEFENSE FUND, a non-profit organization protecting the First Amendment rights of the comics community.

Making Waves leaves from Los Angeles and heads to the Mexican Riviera, with ports of call in Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas, and Mazatlan. The cruise will feature week-long comics programming, including cocktail parties, slide shows, panel discussions, Q & A sessions, writing seminars, chalk-talks, diner parties, and much more. And fans will be able to sign up for dinners and drinks with all the attending pros to guarantee time for some quality conversation. Of course, this is in addition to all the informal hanging-out in the ship's bars, pools, sundecks, and restaurants.

When not attending the on-board programming, guests will have plenty of decadent diversions to pass the time. In addition to the requisite opportunities for swimming and lounging, the ship features a casino, spas, sporting activities, theatre shows, movies, round the clock room service, and more. There's even play areas for the kids.

The cruise ship includes nine deck levels with a sliding scale of cabin rates, from luxury accommodations to "starving artist" rates (and no, you don't have to be an artist to qualify!). Prices include just about everything you could need--all food, room service, accommodations, even tips--everything except drinks and shopping. To receive a full-color brochure and booking package, call THE CRUISE AUTHORITY at 1-800-448-1830.

Making Waves follows the lead of many high-profile publications and organizations which have hosted successful celebrity fund-raising cruises, including "The Nation," "The National Review," and almost every major league baseball team. The cruise is a joint fund-raising effort between the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and THE COMICS JOURNAL. Sponsors include Dark Horse Comics, Diamond Comic Distributors, Drawn & Quarterly, NBM Publishing, NextPlanetOver.com, and WonderCon.

For more information and to ask comic questions about the cruise, please contact The Comics Journal at 1-800-657-1100, call the CBLDF at 1-800-99-CBLDF, or visit the Fund's web-site at http://www.cbldf.org. Be sure to look for more guest news and additional information in articles and advertisements appearing in "The Comic Journal," "Previews," "Busted!," "Sin City," "Penny Century," "Luba," "Bone," and numerous other comic book and magazines.
