yeah, I'm attributing it to DC because I have no idea why Morrison would do that, especially given the thought-balloon-reading and panel-tearing that happened in the next two SS issues that came out (I probably go on about this upthread somewhere!)

no I don't, but I bet I'm grumbling away on some Seven Soldiers thread

Which is probably where you'll find me pointing out that people who hate the art don't deserve eyes.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 07:53 (twenty years ago)

The first filler art guy was pretty wretched, but the one after him was fine. I'm not sure if I get the "picture plane" stuff on the cover of MM #4 that Douglas mentions, but I'll go back and have a look.

Can we talk more about "The New Adventures of Adolf Hitler"? I never saw it all, but it has some of my favourite ever bits in comics, like AH being followed by a bus, or him imagining that his cup of tea is the Holy Grail (and then wishing that Jesus had been born in Bavaria because he would have looked good in Lederhosen).

Can I ask a question or two about Mr Miracle? What happened to Scott Free? And what was the situation of the New Gods before this GM comic?

I just reread all but the last two Seven Soldiers comics, and loved them far more on a reread than first time - the intricacy of the interlinking is breathtaking, and I hope the ending does the job.

(x-post insert: SS is post-Finite Crisis, so who knows about Scott Free and New Gods and history of Shilo.)

NAOAH is in the Top Three Grant Morrison Comics Ever, and possibly the best-coloured comic I have ever read (even more amazing because IIRC it was originally going to be in b&w in Cut! though I guess that's why the Crisis colourist felt free to go wild and paint shit through the entire background of a panel or fill things with wallpaper patterns or whatever)

― kit brash (kit brash), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 12:33 (twenty years ago)

kit, two of my friends did the colouring on NAOAH and afaik you're the first person to EVER notice or remark on the incredible job that they did - my fave page is the one w/ a gigantic pic of manson in the b/g, swastika carved into his forehead - colouring as commentary!

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 12:46 (twenty years ago)

kiss them for me! I've been adoring that since I was 13 or whatever (were they even credited?)

― kit brash (kit brash), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 13:14 (twenty years ago)

i think so - st*ve whitak*r and n*ck abadz*s, plus another pal of n's helping 'em out, tho maybe they all took a joint psuedo-credit - all done pre-computer, obv, i remember them spending hours on fiddly hand cutouts and whatnot - sadly the fuss w/ Cut and that knob Pat Kane kind've overshadowed everything else abt NAOAH (which I agree is one of Morrison's best strips)

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 13:30 (twenty years ago)

Hey, how does one get a copy of this?

― kenchen, Wednesday, 19 April 2006 15:08 (twenty years ago)

The guy who did Hugo Tate? Coool.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 15:19 (twenty years ago)

New Adventures of Hitler? Need to find a digital copy, likely. Never seen it in the states.

Which is to say, if anyone has it and wants to mail it to little old me, please get in touch. Ta.

― Matt Maxwell (Matt M.), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 16:09 (twenty years ago)

This is my real email address. I'm just saying.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 16:26 (twenty years ago)

Same here. Except for the, uh, "uh."

― Chuck_Tatum (Chuck_Tatum), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 16:38 (twenty years ago)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 16:57 (twenty years ago)

I dare say it was a pseudo-credit, I probably would have noticed Ab@dzis' name when I re-read it in the '90s sometime.

― kit brash (kit brash), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 20:12 (twenty years ago)

I fucking had this, I know I did. And when I went looking for it to forward it, where is it?

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 20:51 (twenty years ago)

I too am interested in this New Adventures of Adolph Hitler. I'm a casual Morrison geek and hadn't heard of it until this thread.

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Thursday, 20 April 2006 00:05 (twenty years ago)

ran in CRISIS #46-49:

I've got it, I can sort something out tonight if people are still HUNGRY FOR HITLER.

― Tom (Groke), Thursday, 20 April 2006 08:22 (twenty years ago)

I only read bits of it in "Cut" (in colour, I think), and then was in my skint phase when it appeared in "Crisis", so I've never read it all.

The controversy around it was half the fun. It's always great watching po-faced twunts get excited about things.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Thursday, 20 April 2006 08:28 (twenty years ago)

hi tom, I am hungry for hitler!!

― dave k, Thursday, 20 April 2006 12:51 (twenty years ago)

I'm craving Adolph myself.

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Thursday, 20 April 2006 13:39 (twenty years ago)

I think I might put him in a hidden ~~bunker~~ webpage.

― Tom (Groke), Thursday, 20 April 2006 13:43 (twenty years ago)

Ditto. (xp!)

― pixel farmer (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 20 April 2006 13:44 (twenty years ago)

I'm on antibiotics (root canal) and the prescription clearly reads "Take With Food (Hitler, pref.)"

If you don't let me in on the secret Hitler site, MAGGOT WILL DIE!

― Daniel_Rf (Daniel_Rf), Thursday, 20 April 2006 15:46 (twenty years ago)

i remember the hitler thing fondly if only for the stencil-buffer effect they used for the colouring (ie the patterns remained static despite the character moving, if you see what i mean) (oh, xpost kit brash 2 days ago...)

― koogs (koogs), Thursday, 20 April 2006 17:04 (twenty years ago)

Can I please put in a Hitler request too?
Also, while I'm here, as this is my first post, I'd just like to say that I've been lurking for a couple of weeks, and some of the discussions here are the funniest things I've read in ages. My first encounter with ILC was the 'My CBR Shame' thread, and lordy do I know that feeling.

Nice to know there are plenty of other people out there who keep reading some of these damn series despite the lack of rewards.

― James Morrison, Thursday, 20 April 2006 21:59 (twenty years ago)

Hi James! Don't forget...
Welcome and introduce your geeky self, you nerd!

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Friday, 21 April 2006 13:53 (twenty years ago)

er, actually:
All New Introduce Yourselves thread!

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Friday, 21 April 2006 13:59 (twenty years ago)

I know of no Hitler.

(This post will be deleted at some point this weekend by the way).

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 21 April 2006 13:59 (twenty years ago)

Achtung! Donkey Shane!

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Friday, 21 April 2006 14:15 (twenty years ago)

Ach! Probably wouldn't be prudent to do this at work.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Friday, 21 April 2006 14:16 (twenty years ago)

Making a note of the URL might be advisable. Also renaming to .cbz

Tom, yer a star.

― Chuck_Tatum (Chuck_Tatum), Friday, 21 April 2006 14:53 (twenty years ago)

Tom, you are indeed a star. I thank you much.

― James Morrison (JRSM), Monday, 24 April 2006 01:43 (twenty years ago)

Well, that was rather good. Though I'm worried by the amount that he seems to have pinched from Beryl Bainbridge's great novel, 'Young Adolf'. Though I'm probably far from the first person to notice that connection.

eight months pass...

I accidentally posted this over on the old ILE Morrison thread, but I found all four issues of Flex Mentallo for eight bucks at a store down in Georgia. Which is about as exciting as the time I found a still shrinkwrapped copy of the Monks album for a buck. Haven't read it yet, but no matter how good it is it'll be hard to resist the temptation to flip it for fifty or so bucks over on eBay.

― barefoot manthing (Garrett Martin), Friday, 5 January 2007 18:48 (nineteen years ago)

Wow, I'm starting to think I should take better care of my copy of Flex Mentallo after looking at ebay! That's one hell of a find for $8, though, congrats.

― mh. (mike h.), Friday, 5 January 2007 19:53 (nineteen years ago)

I think the Monks album's a LITTLE more exciting!

― 808 the Bassking (Andrew Thames), Saturday, 6 January 2007 01:36 (nineteen years ago)

So...I guess I've come around to liking Quitely.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Sunday, 7 January 2007 18:10 (nineteen years ago)

Welcome to the cool table, Huk. Now go kick your nerd friends in the crotch.

― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 8 January 2007 03:11 (nineteen years ago)

I still think the lips in Earth-2 were too much, though. Should I kick my own crotch?

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Monday, 8 January 2007 03:36 (nineteen years ago)

Start w/ Angelina Jolie, then do yourself.

― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 8 January 2007 05:07 (nineteen years ago)

NOOOOO Huk! Don't leave me alone in this!

ten months pass...

Does this guy have any kind of game in comic collector circles? I ask because while tidying up the attic last week, I found a copy of "near myths", a brit comic anthology zine from the late '70's. As well as an episode of Bryan Talbot's "Luther Arkwright", it contains an episode of Morrison's "Gideon Stargrave". I believe Morrison resurrected the character in recent years. It is really, really bad. But kind of entertainingly so.

Should I haul it up on ebay, or just stick it back on the shelf, dear ILC-ers?

― Pashmina, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 16:08 (eighteen years ago)

OH YEAH
