You can sift through the racc list archive
https://lists.eyrie.org/pipermail/racc/
or you can try google groups racc for these issues of LNH Comics Presents.

LNH Comics Presents #504 is the second part of Rob Roger's 'Dead Presidents'
saga. Occultism Kid, Anal-Retentive Archive Kid, and Secret Service Agent
Samantha Baron dive into Jefferson's Secret Library -- will they find the
answer about how these zombie presidents have gotten a new lease at life?
And which books will they check out? And will they have to pay a late fee
if they fail to return those books on time?

And meanwhile in Net.Mexico, Easily-Discovered Man Lite and his brother
Juan Lopez face the Polkiest President of them all -- James K. Polk.
Will Lite's spatula be enough -- or will he need an assist from the one
and only -- Particle Man (probably will need that assist. Yes, I think
so...)

*Ahem* and now...

LNH Comics Presents #504
=====================

---------------------------------------------------------
When the mad Dr. Killfile threatened to destroy the
Internet -- THEY answered the call! Today, THEIR strange
and mighty powers are our last, best line of defense
against crime, disaster and unspeakable horror! THEY are
our knights in shining spandex... the LEGION OF NET.HEROES!
---------------------------------------------------------

[Cover shows Easily-Discovered Man Lite acting as the
referee at the center of a boxing match. In one corner is
Particle Man; in the other is the zombie President James K.
Polk.]

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE: Nearly every deceased President
of the Usenetted States has risen from his grave, using
his power to influence others to spread chaos and cause
destruction. While members of the Legion of Net.Heroes
fan out across the nation to do battle with the monsters,
one Legionnaire -- Occultism Kid -- seeks an answer to the
mystery of the zombie presidents within the hidden halls
of the nation's capital...

Legion of Net.Heroes Comics Presents #504:

"Dark Horse Rising"

By Rob Rogers

* * *

Library of Congress,
Washington.gov 20 February 2011 12:32 p.m.

"You weren't entirely honest with the President,"
said Secret Service Agent Samantha Baron, as she, Occultism
Kid and Anal-Retentive Archive Kid entered the Library of
Congress' Jefferson Building.

"Good," Occultism Kid said. "I do my best never to be
entirely honest with anyone, and I'd hate to think I was
being inconsistent."

"You mentioned Taft and Abraham Lincoln. But you
never said anything about the remains of our most recent
President," Baron said.

"Hex Luthor?" Occultism Kid said. "What makes you
think he's dead?"

Agent Baron scowled. "Just because the federal
government doesn't intervene in the affairs of your private
army doesn't mean we're not aware of them," she said.
"Especially when it comes to a former head of state."

[The fate of former U.S. President Hexadecimal Luthor
is revealed in Beige Midnight #6 -- Footnote Girl].

"Yes. Well, Luthor is hardly the President I'm
concerned about at the moment," Occultism Kid said, as
the group approached a statue of Thomas Jefferson tucked
into an out-of-the-way alcove.

"Anal-Retentive Archive Kid, how familiar are you with
the life and career of Mr. Jefferson?" Occultism Kid asked.

"Let's see," the younger man said, tilting his head
slightly, as though something fascinating had just appeared
on the ceiling. "Third President, first Secretary of State,
former Governor of Virginia, author of the Declaration of
Independence, inventor, scientist, diplomat... And didn't
his personal library make up the original collection of this
institution?"

"Not the original collection," Agent Baron said.
"That was destroyed when the British burned Washington
during the War of 1812. Jefferson re-launched the library
by selling his collection to Congress in 1815. Of course,
two-thirds of that donation was lost during a fire in the
library in 1851."

"Or so your government would have us believe," said
Occultism Kid, approaching the statue. "I take it you're
familiar with the device Mr. Jefferson is holding in his
left hand?"

"I didn't even notice it at first. But that looks
like a cypher wheel," Anal-Retentive Archive Kid said.

"A code of Jefferson's own invention, used for his
personal correspondence, and later by the U.S. intelligence
services until the Second World War," said Occultism Kid,
reaching up to adjust the tumblers of the cypher wheel.
"Truly a remarkable man."

As Occultism Kid spoke, the two enormous bookshelves
across from the statue of Jefferson groaned for a moment,
then shifted ever-so-slightly apart, so that a crack about
three inches wide formed between them.

"After you," Occultism Kid said.

"But we can't possibly walk through that tiny gap,"
Anal Retentive Archive Kid said.

Agent Baron sighed. "It's bigger on the inside than
it is on the outside," she said, walking forward. "That
was what you were going to say, wasn't it?"

Occultism Kid pursed his lips together. "That's not
important," he said, approaching the doorway.

As Anal-Retentive Kid reached the passage, the room
seemed to stretch and shrink at the same time. Staircases
appeared at odd angles, reaching up into infinity and
fading away to hidden points in the far distance. Candles
flickered, apparently suspended in mid-air. Everything
smelled of old oak and camphor.

"Welcome to the Secret Library," Occultism Kid said,
opening his arms to the room. "The single greatest
repository of arcane knowledge you are ever likely to
encounter -- unless the Mormons let you into their private
collection beneath the Tabernacle, which I sincerely
doubt. Here are..."

"My God," said Anal-Retentive Archive Kid, pressing
his hands against the walls of a glass case. "That...
my Latin's rusty... but that looks to be a copy of the
Libri Auspiciorum. Julius Caesar's Libri Auspiciorum.
The last one supposedly burned with the Library of
Alexandria."

"Yes, well, if you believe Agent Baron, this whole
collection burned in 1851," Occultism Kid said. "The
truth, of course, is that Congress decided there were
certain items in President Jefferson's private collection
that the Ame.rec.an people were not ready to see. So the
regular Library of Congress holds the Jefferson Bible, and
the Jefferson Koran..."

"And this one contains the Jefferson Net.cronomicon,"
Agent Baron said, indicating a flesh-colored book in
another glass case. "And there's his copy of the Gospel of
Eve, and the Quipu chronicling the last days of the Inca
Empire. But none of that is what we're here for.
Is it?" she added, glaring at Anal-Retentive Archive Kid.

"An actual copy of 'Love's Labours Won,' " gushed
Anal-Retentive Archive Kid, rushing from one strangely-
balanced stack of books to another. "And the last six
issues of Miracleman. And 'Twilight of the Superheroes'
....my God, with art by George Perez. And issues 4 and 5
of 'A Lurk of Faith...' "

"Your assistant seems like he'll be more of a
hindrance than a help," Agent Baron said, as Anal-Retentive
Archive Kid disappeared into the stacks. "I still don't
understand why you insisted on bringing him."

"It's always nice to have someone to talk to,"
Occultism Kid said, squatting down to examine the library's
card catalog. "Besides, I expect Anal-Retentive Archive
Kid will end up surprising both of us with the quality
of his research. In fact, I'm counting on it."

* * *

Mesilla, Net.Mexico 1:56 p.m. MST

"Why is it?" asked Hector Lopez -- the young man known
as Easily-Discovered Man Lite to his friends and a startling
number of enemies -- "that every time we go to visit our
grandparents in Net.Mexico, we're ambushed by a crowd of
racist yahoos led by a zombie ex-President?"
