Bravo, Rico! I am truly impressed. Thanks for your diligence, you've
saved me from having to go through any further fruitless hours of
searching. "The Front Runner" is probably one of my all-time favorite
books and I've had a long-standing interest in Japanese comics, so to
learn that the two of them had collided at one point fascinated me,
and it was very frustrating not to be able to find much information.
I'm glad you got something personally out of answering my question as
well. Enjoy the book!

Thanks for an excellent review.  As I pointed out in the "About the
Database" page I don't have time to read everything.  So I certainly
hope someone emails me an entry for some of Ellison's work.  And I'd
be delighted if someone corrects my errors regarding the Future
History universe.  I also need someone to email me records with
planets from the works of Greg Bear, Orson Scott Card and other
writers I'm not that familiar with.  The reason Star Wars and Star
Trek have so many entries is that in my opinion SF is becoming more of
a visual medium.  All the possible story lines have been done in
books.   But with a movie, you can take an idea that pure cliche and
make it look great with special effects and a big budget.  That seems
to be what the fans like.

Great Help!  You were able to give more insight and info than I was
able to find. I am giving you a 4 star rating, the only reason i am
