One thing I've often wondered about ABO is whether they maintained the
irritating "Crazy Alien" publisher ruse solely because someone there thought
it was kute or due to perceived hard feelings against Charles Ryan's colleague
Floyd Kemske after the collapse of GALILEO and their one-shot incarnation of
GALAXY. I remember the early tabloid newsprint issues and thought at the time
that it seemed an unlikely survivor in that format...slick paper and creative
approaches to nonprofit incorporation have helped keep it afloat at least as
much as hindering it.
