The Encyclopedia of Comic Book Heroes 

By: Michael L. Fleisher

The Encyclopedia 0f Comic Book Heroes began as something of a lark, and ended as a labor of love. In early 1969, I was working as a writer/editor for the Encyclopaedia Britannica, writing entries for an encyclopedia that the company intended to market orcrseas. One afternoon, as a humorous way of relieving the ofllce tedium, one of the other writers composed a short biography of Clark Kent written in the same stuny, pedantic style that characterized the biographies of real people in the encyclopedia we were working on. “KENT, CLARK,’· it began. “United States journalist who is secretly Superman . . . .” As the bogus entry made its way around the room, the editorial office exploded with laughter. People laughed because, by using a serious, pseudoscholarly style in connection with subject matter generally regarded as frivolous, the author had successfully satirized the pomposity of our encyclopedia.

A Book of Puzzles

A Book of Puzzles 

By: George Van Ronzelen

He’s a working elf and his name is TiL, which in the Hindi translates to sesame seed. There’s something serendipitous here. He sometimes provides the “Open, Sesame” for a few of the more difficult anagram puzzles. But you don’t have to believe in elves to take advantage of a clue in one of TiL’s quips-many of which are irrelevant or perhaps red herrings. You may ignore him completely for greater challenge. Believers will tell you that the little people may assume whatever form seems appropriate for the occasion. Some might argue that elves communicate freely with animals and small uninitiated children who conveniently forget their experiences beyond that pale. Since TiL’s purpose is to provide help as well as pleasant distraction, he accordingly appears as a sesame seed with accessories. [download]
