Welcome

So a long time ago (the mid-1990s), the greatest writer in comics agreed to take over the writing duties for Image Comics' Supreme. He would radically reshape the character, the book, and due to forces beyond his control, a whole comic book universe. And it led to an award-winning run of comics, three additional titles (among several proposed) and ultimately led to the genesis of Moore's much better known America's Best Comics. And then it all went out of print and was forgotten by way too many.

Having gathered quite a bit of information about Moore's Supreme and Awesome runs, I decided to create a home for the forgotten Awesome. Over the course of a year, I put it all together here.

Each week I did a main "Weekly Reading" post that was a read-through of that issue. I followed that up with a couple of other posts about topics from that Weekly Reading or whatever else I came up with to talk about. You'll find the lost Youngbloods in the Youngblood section and the fan-edit of the last Supreme in After Awesome.

Below is the archive of posts broken up by book. Thanks for checking the site out!

Brian K. Vaughan is giving away Alan Moore's Gen13 script

A while back, Scott Dunbier auctioned off Alan Moore's partial script for a Gen13 annual, which Moore did immediately after the implosion at Awesome, to support Bob Wiacek. The script is a tongue in cheek Teen Titans-like story about the state of the comics industry at the time and sounds like a reaction to what happened at Awesome.

Anyway, Brian K. Vaughan won the auction and has turned it into a fundraiser, giving the script away to anyone who donates to the charity:



To get the script, go to this go fund me page: https://gofund.me/e2230840

Make a donation in any amount and send the receipt to: Thanksforhelpingbobw at gmail dot com.

I've made my donation and can't wait to give the script a read!
