This is mildly complicated.  Above is Don Edge’s coloring of Jacques Thornton Moitoret’s logo for Helix Vol. 1 No. 2 – or part of it: the top part of it.  All of Jacques first contribution to Helix is directly below where it wraps page one of that April 13 issue of the then still bi-weekly tabloid.  We put up the first issue last week and we will continue to reveal them here for as many weeks as it takes to run through them all.  Sometime in late 2014 this will end – or perhaps early 2015. (I have not done the math, nor do I need to until at least late in 2013. I am keeping clam.)

Thanks to Ron Edge for doing all the scanning of the 120-some Helixes, and thanks to both of the Edge’s for their playful recommendation for coloring Jacques’ logo.  Somewhere near here a not-yet-colored version will be included that you may wish to color and return to us for posting.  This is very much in the tradition of Helix.  Not as coloring book, but as parody.  Think of it as a loving parody of the Google logo, which changes so splendidly from day to day.

Like this week and last, through the weeks ahead I intend to read each issue from cover-to-cover and record a rough – rather – commentary of first impressions after having not seen any of them  – except to glimpse – for forty-five years.  (The button for playing this commentary is just below.)  I hope that other readers will take moments to respond to what they also may – or may not – find in Helix after so many years.  All this may result in some publishing effort near the end – m0re likely after it.
