It's the first thing you find when you visit his web site. Personally I love it when people push radical ideas. Even if the idea is wrong it's healthy to examine old ideas. But I think saying "expanding Earth" scares people away. If you say "slight reduction in magma density" it sounds far more plausible. In the interest of disclosure, I've always been susceptible to the idea since reading a New Scientist article in the 1980s where someone pointed out that the continents fit together much better on a smaller Earth, and crust that fills in the gaps is all new. PS I was also a fan of Neal's Continuity Comics line and remember his seventies work, so Neal can do no wrong in my book :)
The real unanswered question is "Who is the mystery woman that captured Superman's heart and soul?" From behind, she looks a little like a curvy Ambush Bug.

Pffft. yeah...
Bully, did you read the interview between Neil Adams and Dave Sim, or is Adams' "expanding Earth" stuff common knowledge?
Either way, bully for you! (Nobody has ever said that yet, right?)
