(I'm feeling a little stooopid here, so take it easy on me!) What is implied by the 2nd to last panel about Lara? She is somehow still alive? I'm confused given the earth was destroyed. Thanks!

Jones is still around, so maybe someone can ask him. I agree he wrote some great stories, including collaborations with Williamson that were completed and published. He also seemed to bring the best out of artists like Corben and Wrightson during one of Warren's better periods.Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04809592629762693427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-84055841437211833112016-06-08T20:28:12.424-04:002016-06-08T20:28:12.424-04:00What a wonderful and poignant story and what a fab...What a wonderful and poignant story and what a fabulous concept, like an episode of the Twilight Zone that could never be filmed due to budget constraints.Jasper Barkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07869166352199954744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-79870949173932723922016-06-08T20:27:09.550-04:002016-06-08T20:27:09.550-04:00How fascinating Russ, I wonder what ever happened ...How fascinating Russ, I wonder what ever happened to the Bruce Jones story?

Williamson was originally sent a Bruce Jones script, but after working on the first three pages decided to send the script back because it was too racy for his tastes. When he called Goodwin and told him what had happened, Archie got a description (over the phone) of the finished pages and wrote a new story around the completed art. A beautiful story.
