Re: Random comic-related pic thread
There's also the Elsewhere series called The Nail, where Superman was found by Amish instead of the Kents (a nail gave the Kents a flat tire the day they would've drove by Superman's crashed pod), and kept to himself as Amish, while the rest of the Justice League was built up and collapsed without him.

Well, I was thinking of more mainstream DC continuity but I did really like The Nail. Definitely a graphic novel worth checking out.

Barry Windsor-Smith, my favorite comic book artist, like, by far.
Unfortunately, seems like he's disappeared for the past 10 years or so. |

Yes. |
Re: Random comic-related pic thread
There a not-quite-as-good sequel too, which has a lot of fanservice.

Was browsing Comixology just now and both series are there, but I think I'll just go rummaging thru my longboxes instead. |
Re: Random comic-related pic thread
fan service as in neat references, kinda like the first one. Basically an excuse for Davis and Farmer to draw the fringes of the DC universe, which is fine by me.

Re: Random comic-related pic thread
I think they reissued The Nail as a trade paperback at some point.

I don't see green. But then again, I didn't see black, blue OR white in that dress; so perhaps my color perception is a bit off.

Re: Random comic-related pic thread
I mentioned earlier the Kull issue of Bizarre Adventures, and poking around I found covers of some other issues. I remember these well, but don't recall anything about the actual stories. I was also inspired to make my first Wikipedia edit in eons. I tend to avoid that because it could be a huge black hole of time.

And David, when you go back to edit it, could you add the page count please? |

I did add the page count in the Collected Editions area. That's the only part I edited as the actual issues are still at my parents' house.

Re: Random comic-related pic thread
Marvels #1, shows him being good and being an asshole of baddie nature.
Blew my mind as a kid. Knowing that we had a Torch in that period. That Namor was active during all that too. That he knew Cap. Not sure what specific arc but pretty much from when it was revealed that Namor, and other notable characters, were part of an Illuminati to when he was helping out the X-Men for a while. He was pretty damn badass. So that's like what? 2009 to like 2013? I've read his first series but never his John Byrne series. Anyone read that? How was it? |
Re: Random comic-related pic thread
Most of the best Namor stories involve the Fantastic Four and his thing for Sue Storm. I wouldn't call his '90s issues particularly memorable, I remember Namorita in them more than anything.
Namor was a normal Marvel character that got retrofitted as a mutant when they became a hot property. |
