SEARCHING for a way to post Airboy Comics, "The Heap" series, especially including the episode of the fight with the giant sea slug.

Hmm. Return of Valkyrie: An Airboy Graphic Album seems to be the only "Airboy" book available in the Goodreads database (and I can't identify any ISBN nos. for the series's other volumes, at least not via Amazon). This wouldn't be what you're looking for, would it?

Wish it were. The Heap was a swamp creature which developed from the body of a fallen WWII airman. He went around rescuing humans who were in peril, but like Caspar the friendly ghost, his compassion was not returned.

Would Stranger in a Strange Land qualify?

I guess, if you want to discount the "Martian" origins of Mike. After all, men are from Mars, right ? Especially Messiahs. Strictly speaking, Wells's Time Machine and all such would qualify, all extra-dimensional arrivistas, but I'd just as soon stick to Everyday Wonder. To the possible as we know it in the present time.

My fav book or one of them in college, hope you add it on.

Neuromancer does have some scenes set on a space station and in space. Does space near Earth's orbit count as on Earth?

Judgement call. The idea is to limit SF to this planetary system. No interstellar. No gateways, wormholes, hyperspace jumps, etc.

Great list!
