Message: [QUOTE="ATenderLad, post: 148966, member: 3864"] It was worth the wait, this was a fantastic comment! A random tangent about Bob Hall, I was checking Marvel Unlimited to see what else I'd seen of his work, and this one stuck out to me. [ATTACH type="full" width="278px" size="391x606"]48519[/ATTACH] My cousin gave me this issue decades ago, it was my first introduction to Moon Knight, actually. I dug it out of my closet and realized *this* is the source of that fucking "Where's my money, Dracula?" meme. I'd forgotten all about it! (It also made me a life-long fan of Batroc...somehow). I haven't read Death of a Universe, I'll have to look that up. (I have read the early Squadron stuff). Squadron is a really interesting...I'm gonna call it "evolutionary link" to telling those larger political stories in comics. It really expanded the kind of story you could tell in a comic book. It's overshadowed by Watchmen (what isn't, though), but you're dead right that it's a clear influence on what came later. Kingdom Come is practically a mash-up of Squadron and Moore's unused "Twilight of the Superheros", with some Book of Revelations sprinkled on top. Ooooh, I need to re-read The Twelve, I remember convincing some guys to buy it at my old comic shop. I haven't heard of those two Shadow books, but Chaykin, Dennis O'Neil? I'm tracking 'em down *tonight*. Lovely recommendations, keep 'em coming! [/QUOTE]
