[from Associated Press Reports on the scene of Comic-Con in San Diego]

It's hard to describe an enigma. That's the challenge facing "Alias" creator J.J. Abrams as he prepares to launch the new series "Lost" on ABC this fall.

The writer-director spent a day at Comic-Con International to mingle with sci-fi fans and talk about "Lost," which is about 48 people who survive a plane crash and become stranded on a remote island inhabited by strange creatures.

"Lost" stars Matthew Fox, best know for TV's "Party of Five," as a resourceful doctor, and Dominic Monaghan, one of the Hobbits from "The Lord of the Rings," as a drug-addicted rock star. Part of the pilot, which airs Sept. 22, was screened for an audience of thousands at Comic-Con.

"When you have a new show, people tend to want to compare it to what they already know," he told The Associated Press. "Is it a medical drama, a thriller, a mystery, a romance, sci-fi? But this is hard to classify because it has elements of all those things."

"Lost" producer Damon Lindelof had this to say about the mysterious creatures that inhabit the show: "First off, I want to go on the record as saying there are no dinosaurs on the island. There haven't been, there won't be, it will never happen."

As for what is out there, he's not saying.
