Merging the character list into the main article.

Merge The article itself is a stub. It may grow beyond that, but the list is at its max, 5 characters. Such a size is easily incorperated into the article and does not need to be split off. — J Greb 07:37, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

• Merge - agree absolutely. --Dystopos 14:53, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge - a snub parent and a snub-list child. 124.152.55.79 15:43, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Merged the list into this article as per above. — J Greb 21:29, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Nice Trenchcoat"

Removed following section:

This joke itself may also draw its origins from an earlier joke found in a single panel within issue #71 of the Sandman. In that panel, John Constantine, Dr. Occult and the Phantom Stranger all encounter each other at a wake. Constantine remarks sarcastically to Occult "Nice trench coat" to which Occult replies with a curt "Thanks".

Issue #71 of Sandman was released in Sept 1995[1] and The Books of Magic was first published in 1990/1991: the "Nice trenchcoat" line is a separate joke alluding to the original "Charge of the Trenchcoat Brigade" joke from TBoM and so not particularly relevant here.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Trenchcoat brigade comic book cover small.jpg

Image:Trenchcoat brigade comic book cover small.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
