Accessed January 26, 2008〕 He coined the term Wold-Newtonry in a paper titled "Wold-Newtonry: Theory and Methodology for the Literary Archeology of the Wold Newton Universe." In it, he talks about ''literary archaeology'', a term which he says was inspired (for him) by Warren Ellis's term ''mystery archeologists'' in Ellis and Cassaday's Planetary comics. The paper is (available online ) at Philip José Farmer's Wold Newton pages, and as a chapter in Win Scott Eckert's (Ed.) ''Myths for the Modern Age'' book, published by MonkeyBrain Books.〔()〕〔("A heckuva family" article at ThePulp.Net ).
