Swamp thing by Allan Moore?

 

[Jack]

I think John Totleben did a few issues. Allan Moore's run on swamp thin was remarkable. One of the best comics of the period

Hey Jack is Dark Horse Comics still a player in the Comic/Graphic novel biz? I lived a few blocks away for a few years and only rare days off would eat at a place right across the street, The Trailblazer's had one of the Lopez brothers who was a huge comic fan and I recall him saying when he got traded to Portland he was excited to be able to hangout there.

Thing about collectibles is that humans had them tens of thousands of years ago and beyond... but nothing survives time...and paper illustrations don't petrify with their writing intact very well...

 

[Frood]

The underlying comic story might survive, however.... if it's told and retold to the next survivors around a fire....

 

[The Question]

GROO THE WANDERER WILL NEVER DIE! (without making a huge mess)

Also, and I know everybody loves Deadpool, but The Badger came first.

It's the stuff of a brand new future religion, TQ. Where the good guy can't really die...

The whole time I was in that area around their tiny "downtown" Milwaukie office it was hard to tell there Wass anything going on, rarely saw people come or go, except onetime while chewing down on my Teriyaki Chicken and Rice bowl, I did see a couple cute young ladies enter the place. Looking them up, I did see a header saying they'd been bought out by Embracer.
