Except surely he's run out of mafia dons and terrorists by now?
He's down to f**king up shoplifters and litterers.

Quote: Matthew Stott @ December 24 2008, 10:30 AM GMTThe Dark Knight Returns is superior to The Killing Joke, in my opinion. Though that's great too.
The Killing Joke was really Moore writing stuff Bolland wanted to draw (Bolland was on the project first and it was him that got Moore onboard (somewhat more telling is that Bolland hasn't since illustrated a script not self penned).
And also it was a product of Fleetway thinking why would anyone buy a Team Up with our great Judge Dredd and this washed up Batman character? (which was how this book started).

Garth Ennis, surely?
Damn you brain!
I'm going to sharpen a pencil and give you such a pokinG!
Loved the character of Soap.
I go for the graphic novels rather than the comics. I recently read the last one of Y: The Last Man and the last Garth Ennis Punisher. I'm getting the Judge Dredd complete case files as they release them and I'm currently reading the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Black Dossier.
And I'm waiting for the next volumes of Powers, 100 Bullets and The Walking Dead.
What I REALLY want is for them to release Zenith at last but I doubt it'll happen. And I really wish I'd never read Transmetropolitan, so that I could read it again and not know what was going to happen.
Zenith you sir are class in a glass!
Loved Zenith and had all the graphic novels then lost them.
I deserve shooting/

Yeah, I had the first couple of them and lost them somehow. And I'm buggered if I'm paying about £40 a pop on eBay to buy them back. I've got them on cbr but it's not the same.

The thing is with Zenith is that they did print up a shitload of collections only for them to then realise (or hit with a stick) that Grant Morrison didn't sign any contract for the original work and so they had no rights to distribute them without Grant renegotiating the contract he didn't sign . . .
Maybe I'm being simple minded but how hard is it for intelligent people to sit and around say,
We're going to make a shit load of money let's worry about that.

Or "I'm making plenty much money over here, you've f**ked me over in the past, gerrit right up ye!".
Yes the podgy geeky 2000AD fan of yesteryear may not be the richest mine to dig.
That said does any one remember Garth Ennis's War Stories?
Remarkably good little stories, like a grown up sardonic Commando comics.
There's also something deeply dispiriting about how in the 80s the best European and English writers/artists were all working on English comics.
But between penny pinching contracts and lousy organisation, we lost virtually all of them.
Is there nothing this country isn't capable of fouling up these days?

Got the collections and he still seems to be doing them for various publishers . . .
Recall a specific call went up from Garth many moons ago looking for someone to sell him the complete Commando back catalogue . . .
I love the Spanish Civil war one that was very funny and the D Day Dodgers.
I loved 2000 ad. When I first read it I thought it was 'zooo add', and the shopkeeper looked at me gone out when I asked for one.
I had a teacher that looked just like Tharg.
Mmmmmmm, zooo. *salivates*
