Ha! All I can say at this point is it looks amazing.

Definitely! You can tell us all about hobnobbing with the big names

I can't for the life of me remember where I heard it, might have been other strips - have a vague memory of someone who later became famous being a bit embarrassed about their photostrip work
Quote from: Barrington Boots on 16 May, 2024, 09:35:52 AMReally good writeup and analysis there Colin. I've not read this for a long, long time - it's a book that at it's core has a heart of stone and as I've become older I've looked for a more comfortable read, I admit. I must revisit it, and soon.
Quote from: Jim_Campbell on 16 May, 2024, 09:53:08 AMThe movie adapts a couple of the book's key moments quite faithfully and kind of has its heart in the right place — I like it, but as an 'interesting failure'. There's a lot to like in it, but I don't think it quite works, either as an adaptation or a successful film in its own right.

Quote from: IndigoPrime on 16 May, 2024, 10:48:34 AMI also echo that I'd much prefer a B+W version of the book, but I suspect that's either impossible (in the sense no B+W art survives) or DC just isn't interested (perhaps due to the mess that was created when it took on the series, which has subsequently denied Moore the rights to his work back).
Quote from: AlexF on 16 May, 2024, 11:54:37 AMI think one key reason why I like V for Vendetta mroe than Watchmen is that it fels VERY British. Not just because the story is set in Britain, mostly because the comics style it uses is very British - you can tell it was written in short chunks, and that the creators put effort into making each small chunk feel like a satisfying mini-story.
Quote from: Marbles on 16 May, 2024, 09:24:05 AM...Essex County (which is by a margin Lemires best work imho).
Black Hammer I loved also until Dean Ormiston stopped on art duties (I have the first 2 OHC), then not so much and I dropped off.
