The relationship between the two characters was established in Showcase ’96 #3, written by Jordan B. At first, The Birds of Prey is a partnership between Black Canary and Oracle, which has expanded with time to include additional superheroines. ![]() ![]() ![]() I suspected we were onto something from the feedback we got from our test readers, but you can never really tell.

Close overlay Buy Featured Book Title The Overstory Author Richard Powers ![]() ![]() ![]() It is via L-space that all books are connected (quoting the ones before them, and influencing the ones that come after) (1989: 11)’. Drawing on user reviews of the Discworld games from the board game website Board Game Geek, I suggest that these games fulfil a similar function to Pratchett’s textual concept of L-Space the idea that ‘Knowledge = power = energy = matter = mass, and on that simple equation rests the whole of L-space. Existing outside of the ‘official’ canon of the novels, as well as television and animated adaptations, the games nevertheless utilise information contained within those texts to affect game play. This paper draws on Jonathan Gray’s (2006, 2010, 2013) work on paratexts and Matthew Hills’ (2004) work on Discworld geography, to examine the role that the Discworld board games play in affecting fans’ meaning-making processes. ![]() ![]() ![]() Common sense, thoughtful and informed common sense, will tell you that this was a murder, but put through a legal mincer it ends up being defined as manslaughter. Crispin's clanger is both trailblazer and emblem for any discussion of this case. ![]() Murder by any other name will smell as putrid. ![]() It took the defence counsel to correct Crispin and tell him that in the second clause he meant manslaughter. The defendant receiving this unusual judgement was Anu Singh, an ANU law student who had knocked out her boyfriend, Joe Cinque, with Rohypnol-laced coffee, then injected him with a fatal dose of heroin. He bowed, sat, and said, "I find the defendant not guilty of murder, but I find the defendant guilty of murder". In the words of Helen Garner's book about the case, Joe Cinque's Consolation,* he "entered on a tide of seriousness, not with his habitual hasty sweep, but slowly, almost grandly". One day in April 1999 judge Ken Crispin of the ACT Supreme Court delivered his judgement in a murder trial. Gerard Windsor interprets Helen Garner's judgement on murder, grief and the law. ![]() |
