New page

Depending on your point of view, this page and how it looks now took less than 30 minutes, or more than fiver years to complete.
Since the start of the wiki version of the Herocopia site (2007 or thereabouts), I have wanted to get the Roustabout entry to look as much like the original page the John Roshell constructed in 2003 in support of The Pastoral story from Astro City:Local Heroes #3.

It was on my todo list just before the crash of the Herocopia.com site, and now, finally, with the new site back in play, complete with parser functions for conditional template design, today, in about 20 minutes I pulled it together.

Please do not alter this page to the new format. It is constructed in this fashion, with this look-n-feel for two very good reasons. One, since it was the first page, and for awhile the only page on Herocopia, it is here to celebrate the 10th year since Herocopia's inception, and two, I want this page to look exactly like the printed version in the comic book. Provides a nice continuity for anyway encountering Astro City and Herocopia for the first time via that introductory path, the same one that many of us encountered in 2003.

Thanks for indulging me here.
