Live and let Di
Comic book Princess Di scrapped
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A U.S. comic book publisher has decided to let Princess Diana rest in peace, dropping plans to reincarnate her as a mutant comic superhero this autumn, the company says. Marvel Enterprises said in a statement on Thursday that "upon reflection" it will remove Diana and all references to the royal family in its upcoming "X-Statix" monthly comics. The about-face follows a recent announcement by Marvel Comics that it planned to introduce Diana as one of a team of super-powered mutants in a five-series storyline called "Di Another Day." Company spokespeople were not immediately available to elaborate on the decision. Diana was to have been a character in a satirical look at fame and pop culture, Marvel said earlier this week. Buckingham Palace called the idea "utterly appalling" and a "cheap attempt to cash in on Diana's fame and the tragic circumstances surrounding her death". |

There was a little story about it in this week's TIME magazine - towards the back. It even has a picture.

That is astonishing. Are you pulling my leg? What a crazy world we live in. I thought I had seen everything.
