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!

New In Pictopia edition available

A new (if overpriced) version of In Pictopia is coming out soon. 


This legendary short story (the comic is only 13 pages) saw Moore mixing characters from all kinds of genres of comics in an apocalyptic take on how superheroes (the grim and gritty kind) were shoving other, more interesting comics out of the market. Unfortunately, it seems Moore has taken his name off this book, too. 

 If you've never read it, you can read it here (https://forgottenawesome.blogspot.com/.../in-pictopia.html) or pre-order the book below: https://www.fantagraphics.com/products/in-pictopia
