I wonder what this could mean what does everyone else think.

Are we supposed to care?

I've heard nothing but good things about his series .

Gosh, I wonder what Alan Moore would say?

Bahahahaha!

Still, I'm a little surprised. When Alan was doing the ABC Line, he wouldn't even let DC put ads for other DC superheroes in them.

I don't get it . . . the "Are we supposed to care?" quote had nothing to do with my post.
(In fact, it was the #2 post for the thread. My comment was the #4 post.)

It's a character from a series of super critcally acclaimed books, so, yeah. Not a super big DC character, but a classic Wildstorm character nonetheless.

Also another Superman of the Multiverse.

Huh, I always thought he was a creator-owned character. (googles) I guess not!

It's interesting how Gaiman maintains a measure of control over his corporate-owned characters but Moore never bothers to do so. If that's a fair read of the situation.

[Jody Garland]

With Gaiman it's a gentleman's agreement as opposed to actual contract. With Moore I figure they've already burned those bridges so they might as well.

Didn't know he even had one, thought he was one of those long dead pulp characters like Doc Savage.

Thats kinda like saying he's a superstar in Ghana and Togo.

I've got to respectfully disagree. He's a character created by Alan Moore who ran for several successful series and gets the periodic miniseries still. I think the last one was just last year, and if I'm not mistaken, had Doc Shaner on it as well.

That's kind of the premise of his old series, that he was an adventure hero in the vein of those old school heroes. The first issue had a make believe essay about his non-existent publication history. And some of the early issues had parodies of golden age/silver age comic book covers.

Saying he has several successful series is a contradiction unless dealing with a set mini or limited series, he either had one successful series that went on, or he had several failed series that people tried to relaunch several times without the public taking it.

So his appeal is that he's obsolete even before he's arrived?

Actually, he seemed closer in appearance to Doc Strange.
