Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

Oh yeah, but without him running it, and Comico being crazy, it would have done a lot better. He eventually sold the rights to comico, which promptly distingerated.

What was interesting is that I think it was the only comic that ever had an official x-rated spinoff about the sex lives of the characters...

"...and that calls for some hard-hitting, potentially violent SCIENCE!"

Wow - I'd forgotten that he did the Elementals...I was so sad when Comico got bought out and the series went to hell, since I'd just been introduced to it by a friend who had all the issues. After the financial troubles, they started with the 'Fathom Sex Special #25' and I wasn't interested anymore.

I also miss Piranha Press' 'Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children'.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wonder if there is still a market for that sort of superhero story anymore?

If there's a market for Vertigo, then I'd think there's a market for smart hero stuff. Alan Moore's comics seem to be doing okay.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Oh, there's a few things that are pretty sharp: Authority, Planetary and Starman (some of which have ended, but all of which I'm reading in graphic novel form so DON'T TELL ME WHAT HAPPENS DAMN IT!!!) Promethea, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Hunter.

Oh, and BHP, Fables is about how the land the Fairy Tales come from gets overrun by an evil force, so all of them are forced to relocate to New York City. It's bloody brilliant.

Art Crawl!!!

Did anyone see the c.s.i. comic that was supposed to start coming out last month?

(I just looked at my subscription thingy for the comic shop and it mentioned it.)

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I don't have the link, but I saw today that Alan Moore is picking up a few dropped series(es), including the Lost Girls series.

No, I am pretty sure Avatar is reprinting what has already been done...

Here's the link.

It say's "reprint" in the first paragraph and then mentions bringing the series to its conclusion further down. Hmmm.
