How many movies like that have you seen? I know this isn't what you intended, but I actually think this is the making of a great story. Done well, I'd be much more interested in this than another fairy tale about "beautiful" people. Or "average" people that are (shockingly) transformed into being "beautiful". Undeserved challenges, overcoming adversity, fighting against the worst aspects of society and coming out the other side, on top- these are potent ingredients for a great story. jimbo_7071 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGs wern’t done for 12 year old boys. They were specifically for older audiences and clearly marketed as such. Crumb was being the anti-comic comic. He thumbed his nose at conventions.

Although, the newspaper strip inserts are a bit of a better read. It also ran for about 12 years and was quality from start to end. As far as ECs go, my personal preference for a great read are the war titles. Very different than their competitors as they were often very anti war. Incredible attention to detail in the art as well. Very historically accurate. I can't tell you how many times I've read the short Aces High run. EC war books all day, every day.
