If there has already been a thread about this issue, and I imagine there might have been, then I'll apologise here for being too lazy to look for it.

Anyway, I recently got hold of the end of Grant's run on Doom Patrol (58 - 63) and although I now understand the bit about the egg I haven't got a clue about the rest of it.

In issue 63 Rachel Pollack calls the story "one of the finest evocations of the alchemical work ever written". I'm wondering if anyone can point out a thread that explains, or helps me get to grips with, the story since I know nothing about alchemy (Apart from the basic idea...)

Again, sorry if this is a waste of time, It's just so frustrating when you read something and come away clueless, especially if you've enkoy it...

Hmmm, me too, though the prostitution bit seems very similar to what happened with Fanny, going through a filthy degrading experience to become pure.

i just recently read it for the first time, too, and i did find it rather puzzling. i think i'll have to read it half a dozen times more for it to properly sink in. are there any decent DP annotations on the Information Superhighway?
