Something (almost) Completely Different

I was patrolling one of the Battletech sites this morning and was actually reading about the "Battletech" Comic books by Blackthorne publishing. It came out while I was in the Army so I missed out on the whole experiment. BUT... I was scanning the credits on the book and found out it was written (at least in part) by Jack Herman and Pat Zircher.

I just thought it was an interesting coincidence.

IIRC, Jack wrote quite a few comics back in the day.

Yeah, I know he did a lot of writing for Robotech.  Not sure on Battletech.

He wrote for Robotech? Sweet. Well, Willingham has his own book for a while as well - "The Elementals" (iirc).

Yep, Willingham was the one who created (and owned) the Elementals for a long time.  He wrote (and even drew) them, too.

Jack Herman was also a longtime writer on the Elementals.
