Are they similar, Frank? I don't think I've ever seen any of Ralph's stuff, but I have him irretrievably tied to Pink Floyd.
VERY similar. And an admitted influence on Sienkewicz's more out there stylings. But the Floyd guy is Gerald Scarfe.
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

move out and draw fire
Superboy is (deep breath, this is a long one) the teenaged clone of Superman, artificially aged in a tube, who actually only has 50% of Superman's DNA because of some silly handwaved comic book science; the other half of his DNA comes from Lex Luthor.
So Lex and Clark have had a love child. Perfect.
Escapist: bleah.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yeah. I liked the Gold/Colan story quite a bit, but the conceit of each issue being a collection of greatest hits and lost episodes is starting to wear thin. The submarine story was truly awful.

Delurking to ask if anyone else has checked this out. Tried to skim to see if anyone was talking about it, but not so good with the skimming.
I was totally prepared to be very embarrassed for her, but found myself quite impressed. I wish her the best.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh, man, she's totally adorable. And she speaks French.
And her little short film is pretty fun, and an interesting concept.
Go Chloe the Vampire Slayer!

I know, how cute is she? And she's got mad skills. I wonder if Joss has seen it?

Not got a lot to say...
In Other Comics News:
This may be old news to some, but it's big news to me; DC comics bought the rights to re-publish 2000AD stories.
Thank god DC's not attempting to do their own version of 2000AD properties. Their shot at a Judge Dredd line was abysmal, not least because they chose to re-write the continuity. Guh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I saw something in the comic store and promptly forgot the title, so I can't look it up. But it was a book (hard cover) by Wizard which looked like a comprehensive guide to Jim Lee's work.
Have they done other artists, does anyone know?

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Awright, Plei...
