Water...Giver of Life.

That's pretty important, isn't it?

That's got the story of measurement beat, by a long shot. Measurement is merely amazing, but water is the essence of our very being. You can survive a long time without measuring anything, but try going more than a few days without water. You'll find yourself 3 cubits under, friend.

But water is more than the giver of life. Water is also the master and servant of mankind.

Master and servant.

Whoa.

We're entering "what if C-A-T really spelled DOG?" territory.

And check out that woman in the foreground. Barbie's improbable body and waxed underarms— and she can still balance a 30 pound jug of water atop her perfect June Cleaver hairdo. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

We can't leave our look at the cover without mentioning the uncomfortable subject of finances.

10 cents? What's that all about? These things are supposed to be free. If there's gonna be a charge for this comic, there better be a maniacal supervillian, a courageous (but somewhat conflicted) superhero, and a hottie newsgal stuck between the two. Is this what we will find in Water Giver of Life?

I doubt it, but let's look and see.
