Yeah, I'm a big fan, though I've been reading it in volumes rather than singles so I only just got through issue 12. The art is gorgeous.

There was an entire issue about this in Alan Moore's run on Supreme. After proceeding through a succession of scenarios that are as transparent knock-offs of Kirby characters as the title character was of Superman, this scene unfolds:

I loving love how Jack Kirby is deified in a way that only comics can do. Stan Lee gets the movie cameos, but he's never been a god.

I think the elbow is facing the viewer, and he's holding a helmet under his arm? His arm that is clearly held perpendicular to the ground so the helmet wouldn't fit? And that doesn't line up with his torso if that's where his helmet is?

Look, I'm still trying to figure out the neck, which seems to be positioned directly over his right leg.

I appreciate how his legs just stop at the floor in a flat line, like they're supposed to be phasing through the surface or something. Not even an attempt to create feet or even hide them, just squaring his legs against the surface and calling it done.

HOW

It was the 90's. And this was Youngblood (Or was this WildCATS?), which if I remember my history correctly means Image. And Image didn't answer to any comics authority (but did self regulate), so you had Not-Wolverine there, with the Not-Xmen, except with all the blood, sex, violence and cursing that were not offered by the big 2 at the time. Imagine if an entire publisher was making comics like Punisher: Max, at a time when traditional, classic comic characters were seen as campy, and stupid and lame compared to the XTREME! 90's contemporaries. It was darker, and more 'real' and that fake kind of 'mature'. I didn't matter if most of the art was ugly and anatomically impossible, there was a chance to see someone get beheaded in full color with a collectible foil variant cover. Oh and maybe some titty. And what little 13 year old would pass up the chance to maybe see underboob, sideboob, and their friend violence under the guise of a harmless comic book. I don't know if Image ever outsold any of the regulars, but it did make an impact on the bottom line, and a big enough one for guys like Rob and Todd to make a good living for a while.

Youngblood. WildCATS was Jim Lee, which meant the art was occasionally not completely awful.

Oddly, Alan Moore eventually did a writing stint on both.

Rob Liefeld is where 1963 comes from and Supreme, so I guess I should be grateful?

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
