From Joyce Dudley Hindman:

Bast’s family and I have come to the decision that it is time to say goodbye to Requiem. April 30, 2021, will be the last day for orders of ‘zines or e-zines through the website.

Please  post this info to fannish sites that welcome ‘zines.

More information about ‘zines from other publishers for whom Requiem acted as agent will be made available as soon as we have it.

It’s been a long run. We’ve met amazing people, many of whom have become lifelong friends. Thank you for everything. 

Questions can go to me at ReqPub@gmail.com

From Joyce Hindman:
Bast Ravenshadow, who ran AngelWings Press and Requiem Publications, and did over 400 ‘zines as publisher, author, artist, has passed due to Covid related kidney failure. There will be no service. She attended MediaWest*Con for over two decades, and was active in Due South, Sentinel, MFU, S&H, Company Business and SWAT fandoms, as well as writing numerous original stories with her writing partner Sekhmet.

Marvel Universe at The Henry Ford

We finally made it to see the MCU exhibit at the Henry Ford!

Masks were required at all times. Note the markers for social distancing in line.

The monitor screen indicated the current time for admittance, as noted on your ticket.

Many Things to see and do (Lori was especially happy to have caught the Spidey photo-bomb).
Hanging out with Spidey
Do NOT make Dr. Banner mad. Srsly!

Exhibits were mostly chronological, beginning with the early days of comics including original art and sample comics.

And, of course, the movies.

Oddly, a number of the costumes were missing the weapons described on the cards, such as Black Widow minus her batons.
Also Hela was missing her signature headdress.
The Doctor Strange exhibit was suitably spacey.
The little card says “Please be gentle with Black Panther.”
Wakanda Forever!
Sorry, we couldn’t resist
