Supreme issue 17 came out in August 1994. Story and layouts by Rob Liefeld. Written, edited and lettered by Kurt Hathaway. Penciled by Cedric Nocon and inked by Norm Rapmund.
Supreme Madness rolls on! The Grand Tour of the Image universe picks up with Pitt. Pitt was created by Dale Keown. He's a human/alien hybrid, created by an alien race known as the Creed, genetically engineered to serve as a killing machine.
This doesn't have anything to do with this issue, but I saw this on Wikipedia and thought it was funny:
The series became noted for its massive scheduling delays with a six month break between the release of Pitt #1 and Pitt #2. Keown admitted that the delays came about due in part not only from his perfectionism, but also his inexperience with the business side of comics as well as becoming sidetracked with a Pitt related musical project called The Pitt Crew consisting of Keown and 4 other musicians that had developed 10 songs comprising a 42 minute master recording.
Oh, Image. So pretty but so, so stupid.
Anyway, Supreme has crash landed in a merry-go-round, which happens to be the exact place the Pitt was. So, of course, they start fighting.
Pitt thinks Supreme is part of the aliens chasing him and Supreme doesn't need a reason to start fighting, it's his book after all.
Meanwhile, we cut to Simple Simon, randomly standing in Grizlock's old lab and thinking about killing Supreme because Grizlock failed to do so. And the art gets really weird, because it slowly zooms in on Simon's eye until we've got a half page panel of just his eye.
Why? Because it's EXTREME!
Meanwhile, the fight between Supreme and Pitt continues until Pitt takes Thor's hammer!
What will happen? Do you even care? Either way, you have to wait until next issue because they really just fought pointlessly for 20-something pages.
