Oíche Shamhna Shona Daoibh

Atop a slab inscribed with the words 'I was a boxer' stands the silhouette of a figure wearing boxing gloves. In the background there is a hill with several tombstones beneath a spreading tree, under the moon and stars in a sky crossed by strips of cloud. It is a crude, monochromatic rendering in dark blue ink. Clicking on the image leads to a full-sized version, with the text of an epitaph from ancient Greece, saying: 'My fatherland was Corcyra, and Philon was my name; I am the son of Glaucos, and I won two Olympiads with my fists.'Inside rear cover of Evidence of Frozentown 4 (1995): "Dead Friends,"
