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 custom Supreme/Awesome hardcovers - parts 1 & 2

Hey everyone! So, this is a project I've been working on for a year or more. I have made my ultimate set of Awesome hardcovers. I'm still working on dust jackets for four more of them, so I'm just showing the first two, which I've finished.

Presenting the ultimate Supreme hardcover set!

These two hardcovers feature all of the published issues and my imaginary conclusion fan-edit of Supreme 64! It also includes loads of extras, such as rare interviews with Moore, Veitch, Sprouse; tons of rare and unpublished art; a fold-out poster; and scripts for two issues! Issue 41 is signed by Moore and 53 is signed by Chris Sprouse (sorry slabbers who now think I ruined the value of those issues)!

The covers are from a painting by Alex Ross! I even made a slipcase with another Alex Ross painting to keep the books nice and safe. Let me know what you think and stay tuned for more books to come!
