Yet I still find myself re-reading the GNs every couple of years. The stuff that works is really compelling.<br /><br />I haven't read much of King Kirby's Demon work, but will look for the collection.<br /><br />And I clearly haven't read enough Morrison (mostly just his Authority work, in fact). Thanks for the recs, I will definitely look for these Morrison GNs.Cynthia Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18182236504914169932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5360814020056871156.post-45684689017277013122010-12-23T21:57:13.437-08:002010-12-23T21:57:13.437-08:00Wonderful essay, CW: those are some awesomely-writ...Wonderful essay, CW: those are some awesomely-written appreciations.<br /><br />The Authority is indeed rather Not politically correct <a href="http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/battle85.jpg" rel="nofollow">indeed</a>. I love Warren Ellis, but whoa. And Don McGregor is a great unsung, or insufficiently sung, hero of comics. <br /><br />AS for The King, I commend to you the collected Demon if you ain't read it already. And I'd have to argue, on the strength of his <i>JLA</i> and especially <i>Seven Soldiers</i>, that the closest we have to a Kirby avatar is Morrison rather than Ellis.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15914730499199048197noreply@blogger.com
