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.
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.
Welcome
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!

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.
