THE MAN WHO OUTDISTANCED DEATH...

Several posts back (here), I told you how I first became aware of

the inevitability of my own mortality.  That evening, I came downstairs

from my bed, wailing "I don't want to die!  I don't wan't to die!" - the ex-

act words of the runner on the cover above.  What's strange is that I first

read this issue's story in a black and white ALAN CLASS reprint comic

sometime in the '60s - in a house across the road from the one in which

I'd uttered these very words.  In what way does that matter, you may

be thinking.  Well, I no longer lived in the neighbourhood, and I'd

lived in another two houses since moving some years before.

So, in a sense, reading that story expressing my own cries of

several years before, across from the very home in which I'd uttered

them, well - it somehow brought things full circle in an odd kind of way.

The cover and interior story were drawn by GEORGE EVANS, and it's

a cracking little story, believe me.  Like to read it?  KARSWELL's cur-

rently got it on his blog, which you can enter by simply clicking here.

Remember to come back and tell me how great you think the story

is.  It's a very atmospheric tale indeed.  Go on, get over there!
