I don't know if I still have my cards. The DC and Marvel cards I still have from around that time are all in binders and buried in boxes I still haven't unpacked from my last move. Originally Posted by SJNeal

However... I have two sets of the cards from the 2nd edition DC RPG that featured Constantine, Animal-Man, Black Orchid, Sandman, Swamp Thing, Spectre, Dr. Fate, Shade (albeit the Suicide Squad version) and the Watchmen because I thought I lost mine and bought a new set on ebay.
Yes, folks... you could actually play as Dream or Spectre!!
I was kinda disappointed that Zatanna wasn't included in that edition's cards... but then that was also during the time of her bat-wing caped, short-haired airline stewardess look. So I really don't blame them for omitting her. It was about as bad as the outfit she's in on her Worlds of Magic card.
I guess people who complain about her modern day costumes never saw what they originally replaced the classic Perez look with."There's magic in the sound of analog audio." - CNET.

Maybe the best DC era ever. When entire decades of bad Superman and Batman comics will be forgotten, Sandman and Swamp Thing will still be alive and well.
The only moment, as far as I know, when comics were seriously considered as a form of art. Before contemporary Image, of course.

It gave my brain the urge to tie the vibe to rock music. You get the sense your reading something 'the squares' think you should not.

Early Vertigo was very similar in feel to late 80s/early 90s College Radio music. The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Tori Amos, Bjork... 120 Minutes and Alternative Nation... Originally Posted by ChaoticScholar
