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!

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

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)

Hey, how does one get a copy of this?

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

The guy who did Hugo Tate? Coool.

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

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.

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

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

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

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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 (eighteen years ago) link

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.

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 (seventeen years ago) link

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 (seventeen years ago) link

hi tom, I am hungry for hitler!!

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

I'm craving Adolph myself.

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

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

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

Ditto. (xp!)

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

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

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Thursday, 20 April 2006 13:49 (seventeen years ago) link

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 (seventeen years ago) link

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 (seventeen years ago) link

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 (seventeen years ago) link

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

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

er, actually:
All New Introduce Yourselves thread!

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

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 (seventeen years ago) link

Achtung! Donkey Shane!

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

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

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

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 21 April 2006 14:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Tom, yer a star.

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

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

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

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 (seventeen years ago) link

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 (seventeen years ago) link

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 (seventeen years ago) link

Start w/ Angelina Jolie, then do yourself.

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

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 (sixteen years ago) link

OH YEAH

― Dr. Superman, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 16:19 (sixteen years ago) link

perhaps you may even get offers from ILComickers

― Dr. Superman, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 16:33 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh man!

― Douglas, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 17:08 (sixteen years ago) link

I have just discovered that they retconned out of existence the big twist from GM's New X-Men.

― The Real Dirty Vicar, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 18:56 (sixteen years ago) link

Which one... the everybody-will-be-mutants one? Or another one?

― James Morrison, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 22:57 (sixteen years ago) link

I thought they'd retconned the lot. Presumably because it left a bunch of X geeks and casual readers who'd just seen the movie all going "WTF? We don't want actual ideas in our comics."

― Stone Monkey, Thursday, 29 November 2007 16:53 (sixteen years ago) link

Most of them. Although they retconned Xorn within, like, days after GM's run ended. Evidently they didn't understand the entire concept.

― Douglas, Thursday, 29 November 2007 17:03 (sixteen years ago) link

eleven months pass...

"The Filth is good as a collection of ideas and reads better the second time through. It's part of Grant's "feel sorry for my dead cat" genre."

Can anyone explain this to me?
