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!

Another fan-created Youngblood #4 (and more)

It's hardly surprising, but with the leak of Alan Moore's scripts, a number of fans started drawing portions of them. Here's another creator, named Joey Jarin, working on Youngblood 4. It's cool to see how else this issue might look.
 





 

  

 

 

And just for fun, here's some images from an alternate issue #2:




Donny D Tran ran with some pages of issue #7 (I'll go over our fan-creator's full version in a few weeks), whose work you can see here:




Next up is Erol Debris (also doing pages from issue #7):

    I've only read as far as four so far, but I'd say everything I've read of Moore's Youngblood is good enough to warrant multiple fan-made art attempts. I only glanced at the art for #7 as I haven't gotten that far yet, but that has a dynamic quality that might be missing in the other fan-made work I've seen so far.

    Either way, it's great that all of this exists!

      I just enjoy seeing the different styles that fans bring to the script (and how Moore's script is more open to interpretation than he sometimes gets credit for). But my favorite fan art is the one that has completed all of the pages!
