A friend and myself have a project in the works and we're stuck thinking of a name for it.

We're at a loss between Kryptographik or De Comics Mysteriis so can you guys let me know what you think would sound best?

From the 6 people polled so far it's a tie heheheh

I think Kryptographik sounds better, but aren't you worried that using the prefix "Krypto-" will get you some grief from DC?

I wouldn't think that it would have anything to do with Krypto... honestly I've now had 2 people say that to me and I never thought of it myself hehehehe

To be honest it's going to be for a podcast so I don't think it would matter that much but I'll have a talk to my friend and see what he says about it!

One more vote for Kryptographik!

So far the break down is:

Kryptographik

6

De Comics Mysteriis

3

Comics from the Crypt

1

HI all, I'm De Friend Mysteriis that Shaper was referring to.

I would love for DC to suggest that Johann Kluber's 1809 cryptography manual, called Kryptographik, infrings on their copyright or trademark.

Kluber, J L - Kryptographik.

Published by Tubingen J G Cotta in 1809... Galland comments 'This study is most noteworthy for the history of cryptography. In addition it contains considerable information concerning processes of cipherment, methods of deciphering, statisitical data, and a bibliographical list of 19 pages [ on the literature of cryptography ].' Galland, writing just after WWII, misplaces the emphasis. Kluber's book is one of the best and most comprehensive books in this limited field. A remarkable, well informed, and modern book. Important.

Price: USD 6,500.00

It just so happens that this is one of the real books H.P. Lovecraft referenced in "The Dunwich Horror," itself published in the April 1929 issue of Weird Tales.

And here I thought I was being too cryptic.

Oh no, I mean obscure, I don't want to infringe on anyone.

It would give me great pleasure to go before a Judge and testify in court that because publishers back in Kluber's day didn't pay off politicians to extend copyrights indefinitely, Kryptographik is in the public domain.
