If 1963 hadn't fallen apart

 In a terrific interview about the tragedy of 1963 falling apart, Rick Veitch speculates that if 1963 had continued coming out after the special annual, Moore wouldn't have ended up working for Liefeld and likely would have brought a Superman-like character into the 1963 universe. Frankly, I didn't like 1963 that much and preferred the mix of old and new in Supreme more, but it's an interesting What If? to think about. The relevant portion is at about 49:00 below.

Tim Seeley's cover art

I found and bought the cover art for Bloodstrike #33 because I am a big fan of the underrated series, I decided to tweet it to Tim Seeley who was awesome about it:

I think Tim Seeley might be my spirit animal.

The homage for Supreme: The Return #6

 I never caught this until someone pointed it out, but the cover for Supreme: The Return #6 was a Kirby homage (as was the whole issue). I think it needed more krackle, though.

Was Judy Jordan's costume inspired by a DC reprint?

 Here's an odd little thing, courtesy of my friend Rob:

So when DC reprinted Superman 123 in Superman 217, which was the first appearance of a proto Supergirl, they re-colored her orange and green. Did Alan know about this reprint to homage it for Supreme 54?

 

 

Liefeld's point of view on the end of Awesome and Supreme

 Cartoonist Kayfabe interviewed Rob Liefeld and the conversation turned to Alan Moore and how Alan tried to offer a different Moore to write the third season of Supreme. That part of the conversation starts around 1:16:00.

Basically, Liefeld says that Alan wanted to keep making $10,000 an issue, but to be co-writing with Steve Moore. Liefeld refused and that was the end of Supreme. Liefeld doesn't mention that Alan was hip deep in ABC by this point and Liefeld initiated this conversation.

How Jim Valentino helped convince Alan Moore to do Supreme

Cartoonist Kayfabe did a fun interview with Jim Valentino recently, which you can watch here. Very little of it has to do with Awesome, but there is a great little bit at 1:27:00.

When Moore says that he's not sure, Valentino uses a trick that he says Dave Gibbons taught him. He tells Alan, "We want you to do everything on Supreme that DC wouldn't let you do with Superman."

The "Moore Supreme for Me" Trivia Contest

My friend Rob and James forwarded this one to me. Apparently, Awesome had a Supreme contest. If you look at deadline date, it was almost exactly when the company died and it likely was never awarded. Sigh...
