PUZZLE #588
DILLY DALLY 9
Each answer in the grid below consists of two words that both start with the same letter, like ASKING ABOUT. However, each clue's answer only makes up half of the phrase (either the first or second half), while the second half is in a separate list of clues, in random order. It's up to you to match up the answers from both lists to fill in each two-word phrase.
Once the grid has been filled out, hidden inside and going up, down, or diagonally will be the FINAL ANSWER: A comic book series whose name also consists of two words starting with the same letter.
1) A Chorus _____ (Tony-winning musical)
2) Sports analyst Esiason who was the NFL's MVP in 1988
3) Density times volume
4) Magician Lim who won both Penn & Teller: Fool Us and America's Got Talent (or the lower front leg)
5) Spanish party, or the Spanish word for "party"
6) "Ring of Fire" singer Johnny
7) Aims (at), as with one's index finger
8) Temporary tuxedo to be used on prom night, say
9) Burial _____ (cemetery)
10) 2000s Game Show Network series where contestants stay up for 24 hours to study frantically

You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or even ask for a hint, though you'll be marked as having used one if you do so) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out.
