Alan Moore working for Rob Liefeld? One of the unlikeliest combinations in comics, and yet, for a short but prolific time, they made it Awesome.
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!
Book 1: Supreme: The Story of the Year

Book 3: Supreme: The Return
Book 4: Youngblood
Book 5: Glory
Book 6: After Awesome
Book 7: 1963
Book 8: Night Raven
Book 9: A Small Killing
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?
Considering how his run on Supreme was a total love-letter to the Silver Age Superman comics, I'd say this is highly likely.
