yeah, you have to make some room for the good stuff.

swamp thing was the guy who used his powers over plants to "grow a bio-supercomputer". for crying out loud, that might be the all-time low in comic book history. the idea of a ten-foot shambling mound of rotting vegetation getting his mojo working with a five-foot blond is unnecessary, too.

promethia was better-drawn than swamp thing, and mercifully shorter, but the same preachy, vacuous trash.

moore was the guy who was responsible for that golden age of daredevil, wasn't he? and didn't he do books of magic? and hellblazer totally kicked ass.

just leave the all-powerful fatheaded hippy characters out of it, and you'll be OK

Very very nice line up, will buy some for sure!

And the camera brand the Joker uses isn't called Witz without a reason..

In German language a 'joke' is called 'Witz' :D

You're forgetting Supreme, a dandy little bon-bon, that uses some old Superman artists in satirizing AND saluting Superman at the same time. I've never seen a better example of an author simultaneously serving up both the pluses and minuses of a character and genre. Much in the way that Miracleman is the ultimate statement on Captain Marvel, Supreme is a real French Kiss AND Bitch Slap to Supes. Everyone needs to read it!

Great list. There are a lot of other cats who would also be worthy of such an effort. (Morrison, Gaiman, Ennis, etc.). I would count Frank Miller except it seems most of his work has been desroyed by the Hollywood grist-mill.

hah, just noticed something. In that picture from Lost Girls where the dude is going down on Dorothy, they have the obscuring stars over her nipples and groin region….but the guy HAS HIS DICK IN HIS HAND AND IS JERKING OFF ON HER SHOES. lolololol!!!11!

Incidentally, Lost Girls is a really good read. Its almost relentlessly pornographic nature can sometimes start to overwhelm, but the story is very good and works with the subject matter. the art is mindblowingly gorgeous as well.

@JD: Alan Moore invented the character John Constantine. The actual series Hellblazer came out later and has had many writers. The first was Jamie Delano, but just about every well known writer from the UK has had a go at it(except for Alan Moore, amusingly enough) including Garth Ennis, Warren Ellis, Mike Carey, etc.

Good article, generally. incidentally, if you can track down a copy of Alan Moore's novel "Voice of the Fire" you will not regret it.

truly lacking without Promethea which in many ways is my favorite of his works.

No Promethea, no Wildcats? This could have been a top 10 rather than a top 8.
