EHN: Mythology and an Added Bonus

When it comes to the classic articles of EHN there are two purposes served. One purpose is to give life back to the skeletons that are buried in the past. Secondly, and maybe most importantly, to establish the EHN Mythology for individuals that never read a paper issue. 

It would have seemed prudent to have this week’s Classic Article to be Recent Government Cover-ups to be the bookend of last week’s Classic Article but after the article EHN vs. the President it became apparent that many of the references in the article would mean nothing to any new readers. For this reason There’s Really 51 was chosen as this weeks Classic Article. The EHN Editors admit to pulling a George Lucas when it comes to this specific article; they were disenchanted with the original and sought out to improve upon it by keeping only the barest frame work of the original. In the end, the article that was published to the Web is a total rewrite. 

Importantly though, it covers and is the first appearances of Geesh Beesh and Commander Zopt (though known only as Zopt in the original). While other references in EHN vs. the President are still without explanation, such as RX2F7, Wally W. Woodchuck, Golf Pro Frank, and Nuclear Ned Nasty, rest assured that they will be revamped for this web edition of EHN in the near future. Until then though here is the added bonus:

 

 

Brian Wilson had Smile and Axl Rose had Chinese Democracy as long lost specters that would forever follow them until they exorcised them. To EHN, Dear God it’s #13 was the long lost and never finished issue. The Editors themselves remember very little about it before the falling out occurred and the disillusionment and the sweat sock wars; in fact all that remains is the Title Block for the Issue. Beyond the Block there were some unaltered pictures found of Jim Varney and the Chinese guy that challenged the tanks in the Forbidden City; what was to become of them is any one’s guess but they were apart of something that was not-to-be. 

What we have though is the greatest and only surviving “image” from the old issues and it didn’t even come to press! In the end though the online edition of EHN is maybe in a way the endless edition of Dear Gods it’s #13 and in that sense the Editors are pleased.
