I remember in NW seeing an interesting way of presenting a poem - on an empty grid the lines wound back on each other re-using a lot of the earlier letters.
This stuck in my mind and I've tried to emulate it several times (never managing to perfectly fill the grid but some good song lyrics did come out of the effort :) ).
But alas I sold my old NW collection in a passing fit of poverty in the late 80's (along with Starburst issues 1 - 50something
).
So if anyone has understood what I'm talking about and has that issue could you tell me the name of the author and perhaps even scan the work for me? There was definitely some MM material in the same issue - a Cornelius episode I think.
