Check it out!  I finally finished my From Hell set in 9.8 last week.  It took me five years to assemble because there aren’t many copies in the census and I had to send in a lot of copies to CGC myself.  In fact I had to submit #6 four times before I got a 9.8.  In celebration I reread the series.  It had been 15 years since I read it last I had forgotten a lot.  Also, some of the occult stuff in it made more sense this time because I had just read Promethea recently and Moore explains the Sun and Moon in more detail there.  About the only scene in the story that I disliked was when Gull time travels after killing Marie Kelley.  Well last night I made the decision to torture myself and watch the From Hell movie for the first time.  I had avoided it like the plague but for some reason I felt compelled to check it out.  Man it was as bad as the reviews would lead you to believe.  Imagine how awful it would have been if they had included time travel,  four dimensional architecture, Gull’s preachy tirade about the 20th century, and Gull’s transformation into a ghost lizard-man after death.  Hahaahhhaaahaaa!  Is it possible for a movie to get zero stars?  So I have a question for you all.  Did Alan Moore give 20th century Fox permission to make this stinker?  Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Mad Love Publishing own the rights in 1998 and didn’t Moore own Mad Love?  I did an internet search but it wasn’t helpful.  All I could find were quotes from Moore where he dissed Johnny Depp.

Hey, a quick question: does anybody have a list of all the Supreme and related issues Alan Moore did?  Trying to figure out exactly what actually got released, and by who, is a bit complicated and I want to make sure I'm not missing anything.

I also need to figure out where the books I already have are, some of the Supreme issues are surprisingly hard to track down these days.

To follow up on my own question, let me list what I have figured out, and perhaps people can chime in if they see something I missed:

Supreme: 24 issues total: 41-51, 52a, 52b, 53-56, The Return 1-6, 63

Judgment Day: 5 issues:  Sourcebook, Alpha, Omega, 3, Aftermath

Youngblood: 4 issues: Awesome Holiday Special, 1-2, Awesome Adventures

Glory:  3 issues: 0-2.  There are 0 issues from both Awesome and Avatar, not sure if the Avatar version reprints the Awesome one.

Anybody know of anything I'm missing?

The only ones I don’t have are the Glory issues.  I didn’t know they were Supreme related.  I’ll have to read them now.  Thanks

I can now verify that the Avatar Glory 0 just reprints the Awesome Glory 0.  Supplemental material in both is different, and the Avatar version doesn't flip two pages on their sides to form double-page spreads.  Personally I think the Avatar version works better.

I think the only one I don't have at all is the Judgement Day sourcebook, which apparently has a new 6 page story by Moore.  But who knows where in storage my copies are of lots of the issues.

There is apparently also a Youngblood 1+, with a 4 page story, just to complicate matters even further.

The 10th and 11th copy I have -- the 11th is FN due to a small dent at the bottom that runs through the book, as well as having some light (non colour breaking) creasing across the cover. Pressing in the future ~

Let us pray: Kimota!

Did you see the price drop on Marvelman 25?

I was about to message you about that lol -- I sure did ~

The fact it's detached and in poor condition isn't helping ~ If Batman #1 (1940) is around $67k at 2.0 there's no way that issue is $50k -- overpriced ~ There' still quite a few of those issues out in the UK I'd imagine ~

Quite a few? I doubt Ewan would agree!
