This will come as welcome news to comix fans who may have been alarmed at the coda of his 2000 book, "Double Happiness," which explained that he had committed suicide in a mental institution.

And what could be more predictable than the brouhaha that followed: the rumbling overture on Christian websites; the brassy solo by Fox News's Bill O'Reilly, who compared the assignment to having students read Hitler's Mein Kampf in 1941; and the inevitable legal coda? The Virginia-based Family Policy Network, a Christian group, sued U.N.C., claiming the assignment amounted to state-funded promotion of a faith.
