'''''Living in the Past''''' was a short story in [[DWM 162]]. | '''''Living in the Past''''' was a short story in [[DWM 162]]. It was the first appearance of [[Ace]] in ''DWM'' fiction. Morever, it expanded on an explanation offered in ''[[Train-Flight (comic story)|Train-Flight]]'' for where she had been for the several years that had elapsed since her introduction on television — namely, that she had been living in the [[Cretaceous]] period of [[Earth]]'s pre-history. | ||
It and the three other short stories featured in issues of ''DWM'' (''[[Scream of the Silent (short story)|Scream of the Silent]]'', ''[[The Infinity Season (short story)|The Infinity Season]]'' and ''[[Teenage Kicks (short story)|Teenage Kicks]]'') were unusual cases of ''DWM'' prose that was narratively continuous with the ''DWM'' comic strip. The events of this story were particularly so, being prefigured by the earlier comic story ''[[Train-Flight (comic story)|Train-Flight]]'', and following on from ''[[Doctor Conkerer! (comic story)|Doctor Conkerer!]]'' as per a caption below its final panel. | It and the three other short stories featured in issues of ''DWM'' (''[[Scream of the Silent (short story)|Scream of the Silent]]'', ''[[The Infinity Season (short story)|The Infinity Season]]'' and ''[[Teenage Kicks (short story)|Teenage Kicks]]'') were unusual cases of ''DWM'' prose that was narratively continuous with the ''DWM'' comic strip.
