Krydel4 Posted February 23, 2023 Author Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) Apparently they did a movie of the book.

Bird Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Wildstorm Special by Alan Moore and his first art in comics by Carlos Danda. The best standalone comic I ever read, I think! jdandns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing that connects the various MGN books; they each stand alone except for the "series" number assigned for marketing. And eventually, they gave up on the numbering and just kept issuing them without numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bookery Posted February 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2023 On 2/22/2023 at 8:50 PM, Lazyboy said: No, those are mutually exclusive concepts, despite any similarities. The Four Color series is more complicated than that. Perhaps the Ducks books and TV series' issues are indeed a blurred line, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to say that Four Color 1085 ("The Time Machine") and 1100 ("Annette's Life Story") are part of the same series just because the publisher assigned a number to them. Kids buying these books paid no attention to the numbers... they were simply a device used by the publisher to track their books. This is the same thing paperback publishers of the era did... Gold Medal, Pocket Books, Pyramid... any of them. The books were presented in a number sequence, but that doesn't mean "The Grapes of Wrath" and "The Killer Inside Me" are part of a "series". They are indeed "one-shots". AJD, Pizza Boy, Sigur Ros and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best standalone comic I ever read, I think! Ah, yes, Majestic at the end of everything, a truly classic story. Imagine if some of these stories Moore had written for knockoff characters, Supreme in particular, had actually used Superman/Batman, etc, in them. The "top 10 stories" lists for the big icons would have to be rewritten. But, unfortunately, that wasn't a Wildstorm Special, but rather is from Wildstorm Spotlight, a 4 issue anthology series.

"The Pro" and "Punisher Kills The Marvel Universe" make two highly regarded one-shots for writer Garth Ennis, who specializes in the form. He did some great ones for "Preacher", too. I loved Comico's "Gumby Summer Fun Special" by Bob Burden and Arthur Adams, although I don't know if the "Gumby Winter Fun Special" that came later disqualifies it. (Different writer, but again drawn by Adams). The Bongo Comics line, towards the end, had a series of about 15 one-shots featuring different Simpsons characters starring in their own book. Each title had it's own name and was #1 (and only) in the series, but they were released regularly, a new one every three months. Some of those are pretty great.
