I don't mind if he keeps fracturing his narrative structure along the lines of IE.  I just wish he had the financial clout to do it on film stock.

Word of warning: Elton John dresses like a stolen car.

Has Jimmy Pesto always worn a tie with a flag motif, or is that a Billy Mitchell shoutout?

"Liftin' up the skirt of the night" from Sheesh, Cab, Bob is still my favorite.

That's a hot lead!

And Rutger Hauer from the end of BLADE RUNNER!

Don't forget about their friend Fanger Jim.

I think they're supposed to be brothers.  Seem to recall that getting confirmed at some point in the Season 5 run.

She's been "special guest star" for the whole run.  No real surprise that she's one-and-done.

I've never bothered with the movie, but I'm guessing the reveal that Kelly was still alive wasn't conveyed by Gull's disembodied lizard ghost head flying across Ireland.

And to be fair, the "happy ending" for Marie Kelly is in the book, as well.

Eat your heart out, William Carlos Williams.

AKA, the R. Kelly Factor.

Throw the dice, man, THROW THE DICE!

I wonder how much of a hand he had in devising the background visual gags in his Cracked stuff.  I remember getting a kick out of them, and they often seemed more witty than the actual script.

Severin probably wasn't the *best* EC artist (for my money, that was Wood), but he was inarguably the most underrated.  Probably because he didn't have a hand in the horror books.

That info comes from an interview Moore gave last year.

Nobody's debating that they have the legal right to.  But when Moore and Gibbons signed the contracts, they did so under the impression that the rights to the characters would be returned to them at a point in the near future, when the book went out of print (as every comic had prior to the mid-80s).

Otherwise pop culture websites will misread your point in an ill-advised "gotcha" article.

Most histories I've read have him looking at the "Archie" superheroes prior to the Charlton ones.  Which implies that the particulars of the characters weren't important, only that there was a sense of history to them.
