Once again, SuperScrounge, you're bang on.
unclerobin, I have a problem with Mr. Millar's work in as much as I find it, derivative, shallow, sensationalised nonsense. As an example, look at the difference in quality from the Ellis written Authority to the Millar issues. I think I might get jumped on for this but Mark's stuff is poor. Swamp Thing was a great comic when it started and those early issues were, imo, very good indeed, story and art. The idea was derivitive to an extent given the muck monsters from previous years but the way ST was treated seemed new and exciting.
The same thing happened with the revival of Marvelman. The early episodes in Warrior with Moran remembering the magic word and the incredible Kid Marvelman arc were about as good as comics got then. Later, the story degenerated into quasi porn - most objectionable indeed. Again, I think I'm leaving myself open to criticism but I have no wish to re-visit those later issues. Sorry, I should have said Miracleman. Habit, I suppose.
All this from me is getting off-topic so I'll do a little research of some other forgotten gems. Sorry to bring a pall down on the discussion.
