UP 'N COMING! #43 (Aug 1994)

Attached is the flip cover to Up'n Coming! #43 (for Aug. '94 releases). This was a catalogue put out by distributor Styx Publications. Inside there's a 2-page interview with UltraForce writer Gerard Jones, and George is briefly mentioned:

>>>
Shaun McLaughlin: I was going to ask if working with George was part of the attraction.

Gerard Jones: It was. When the process started, they weren't sure if he'd be able to do the first few issues or the whole first arc. Now he's going to be with us until issue #6, so that was very attractive. I liked working with him on Break-Thru, and I thought this would be a lot more fun because Break-Thru had a lot of stuff that had to be done because it was a crossover. I thought this would give us a little more freedom.

McLaughlin: Is he taking part in the plotting as well?

Jones: Not so far, but as we go along and the stuff that I've written gets taken care of, I expect there to be a little more "back and forth." In fact, I did the first chunk as a full script, which is kind of rare for George to work from, but I felt I needed that control.
