[LM_NET] ELEM: Dex versus Superdog answer

[Laura Manthey <lsmant@AOL.COM>]

First, an apology to all. I kept getting messages that my message didn't go through 
but apparently it did as I have received replies.



From one of our wonderful members...




<<I sat with Mark Buehner at the Illinois School Library Media Conference, since I 
am on the Monarch Award Steering Committee,  (the Illinois' Children's Choice 
Award). I asked him about the name change and he said that D.C. Comics felt that 
the lettering in the title was too close to their Superman logo, and that they have 
a character that is a dog superhero. So the Buehners agreed to change superdog in 
the book to two words - super dog, and change the name and lettering style of their 
title to Dex. 

He was quite personable. 

Hope this helps,

Sally>>




Many thanks to all who replied.
