Quote from: AlexF on 07 May, 2024, 10:16:17 AMI've read a handful of these issues and love them, they are super weird and beautiful. I'm not much of a Kirby guy but his slightly left-of-mainstream comics - including this and OMAC - really help paint him as not just the precursor of superhero comics, but also of pretentious arthouse (Sci-Fi) comics.
Quote from: BadlyDrawnKano on 10 May, 2024, 03:33:58 PMUm, I feel like I should be really careful as to how I put this due to site rules, but it is available online for free and can be found quite easily via google. But I don't want to post links to any dodgy sites (dodgy as in copyright infringement, nothing more than that).
Quote from: IndigoPrime on 10 May, 2024, 03:57:23 PMOddly enough, the set of comics I have next after I finish my modern Marvel run (almost there) is... the original Machine Man run, which I won for $1 on eBay years ago.

Where to find it
Unfortunately due to licensing issues around the rights to the movies these comics grew from this series has never been reprinted, unlike almost all of his other work. I'm not sure if this is likely to be sorted anytime soon if it hasn't by this point.
For this reason they aren't available digitally either it would seem.
Fortunately even though they have never been reprinted they are still available in the aftermarket and not at silly prices. Be patient however as folks will list these for far more than they would normally sell for. I picked up a full set for about £20 a few years ago. They have gone up a bit since, particularly issue 8 the first appearance of Machine Man. Even so if you wait you'll get a full set south of £40.
The original Treasury adaptation will go for that and more. Hence I've never picked it up, much as I'd love to. It is out there but be prepared to shell out for it if you do decide to buy it.
Quote from: Barrington Boots on 08 May, 2024, 11:19:11 AMI've dipped back into Terry Moore's Strangers in Paradise, which I read a bit of a long time ago and remember enjoying, and either I've changed or this has aged really badly.
Katchoo is an awful, violent person but what did it for me is when David, who is presented as a good guy throughout, tells her he doesn't believe she is a lesbian for no other reason than because he fancies her and then doubles down on that when she rightly tells him to get lost.
Denying someones sexuality = not cool. That's the 90s for you I guess.

How can we not be angered by these people? They write "laws" to bind us and ignore any that bind them. Disgusting.
Fortunately, the ICC doesn't seem to be in any hurry to back down,
