I have a whole sh*tload of comics in my cellar that are all at least 20 years old now. Started collecting them for fun after my wife bought me The Watchmen hardcover...Twice a year this comic store near us had a 50% off sale and I'd buy a bunch.
Except for a select few, the less than can be said about the 80's and 90's (*cough*RobLeifeld*cough*), the better.
It looks like these days, there is more focus on actually fleshing out the characters so that mainstream comics are able to stand on their own as a serious medium. Brubaker's run on Captain America is a good example of that.
Anyone remember the Phantom? - Legendary!

People who remember Nth Man are a rarity. I usually get a blank stare whenever it bring it up. Which is a shame because it kicked ass.
That guy was (and still is) horrible. How he got work, much less became one of the big names of the time, is a mystery.
Good at marketing himself I guess
that he gets asked if he's had any formal art training is funny

^^ Ha! Perspective problems (among other things.) Since when did Quisimodos' hump come out the front?
I heard that despite not being able to draw the human body for **** Leifeld is a very nice guy to work with. That might have contributed to him at least getting his foot in the door. Now the real question is how the hell Jeph Loeb is still getting any work after he single-handedly fvcked up the Ultimates universe.
DMZ any good?

so nobody here knows Pixy? let me educate your asses.
Pixy is an aborted foetus who lives together with his foetus friends in the old decayed city center of the Kingdom of the Dead. Their main activities involve hard drinking, drug abuse, playing with bazookas, killing money and burning houses. They receive support by the government as long as they don't leave this partof the city, where no one dares to go anyway.
Pixy and his pals are completely amoral, or non-moral, beings. They can't die, they have no concept of anything but their own desires and they carry out every impulse immediately - in one word, they're happy. Sometimes, when they're drunk, they make prank telephone calls to the living, terrorizing them for fun. This happens to the young couple Alka and Angina, who, being told by Pixy that they are in fact his would-be mother and father, are forced to read bed-time stories over the phone all night long. Setting out to search for Pixy and kill him once and for all, Alka soon finds himself trapped in a circle of events way beyond control.
