Man, Legion of Superheroes in color would be fun. I just got done reading the first Showcase volume from the library--I don't mind black and white comics, but comics that were supposed to be colored and then aren't always seem really impoverished to me. Speaking of that book though, there's a few really strange to modern ears references to "red kryptonite's" unpredictable effect on Supergirl. In one story, it causes her to literally become two people, one her normal self, another "Satan Girl", who introduces a "crimson virus" to the female legionnaires that leaves them bed-ridden and forced to live on a quarantine planet. I know comics are just for kids, but the story came off as a kind of sexist take on PMS or something. Does anybody have the Satan Girl story somewhere in color? I could scan the black and white panels from the Showcase book, but seeing it in color would be better.

Sorry for double post, but wanted to post some content as well:  This is perhaps the most excellent representation of Alan Moore in comics form I've ever stumbled across. It's from a Rick Veitch Dream Art series, but I think in a few panels it captures Moore's character perfectly. River demons and mystic cigarettes.

I find myself invested in River Demon biology and whether or not it can withstand the peeling and de-cigaretting.

There's another page where he and another artist are visiting Alan Moore's apartment, which is in some falling down building, and when they get there, he's beardless and hairless and says he's just dropped 8 hits of acid, so he doesn't know how much sense he's going to make. And there's another with Neil Gaiman swimming in a pool with vampires or something. I like how appropriate all the dreams of the comic writer guys seem to be.

There's a good bit in that issue that feels very Hastings-y where her dad is describing how cool he is. Still blows my mind that he's "made it", hopefully he keeps on truckin and does some mega event like Gwens of Future Past or something.
