Sandman Mystery Theater was freaking fantastic. Some of Wagner's best writing, as his take on Wesley Dodd was so unlike everything else before hand. I like that Guy Davis drew him a little pudgy and make him more real. The romance between Wesley and Dian is one of my favorite comic couples. Only wish DC would do a super compendium or Omnibus for that series. It rightfully deserves it.

Ostrander and Mandrake’s Spectre is probably an all-time top ten book for me. Without a doubt. Best Vertigo book that wasn't a Vertigo title. Ostrander transformed Corrigan into something truly amazing Foglio’s Stanley & His Monster is super fun. Seduction of the Gun is one of Ostrander’s worst scripts. Foglio's Stanley & His Monster and his Angel & the Ape minis are really fun reads. As is his Plastic Man Seduction of the Gun was terrible. Giaranno's art has always been cringeworthy. A real product of the time.

DC Direct Currents #60 (March cover date, 1993)From this issue onwards, Direct Currents would become a flipbook with the mainstream DC stuff on one side and the Vertigo line on the other. I would become rapidly interested in one side of the mag over the other. The mainstream side barely has any news -- a Superman special and Modesty Blaise miniseries. The Vertigo side has an introduction to the line and news about Death: The High Cost of Living and Enigma by Peter Milligan and Duncan Fegredo. They namedrop Tundra's Skin, which is cool. The Vertigo solicitations have the Vertigo preview, some posters and a trade paperback collection of Books of Magic. The late Rachel Pollack takes over as the writer of Doom Patrol. The mainstream solicitations have bugger all. I love that Art Adams Legends of Superman cover. Waverider became a favorite hero of mine from the 90s. That one-shot was alright. The Modesty Blaise book had gorgeous Giordano artwork. A good underrated mini. Death and Enigma were my gateways into Vertigo. I came to Sandman late but jumped on Death and picked up back issues of Sandman. Enigma is one of my favorite Vertigo minis. Great time to be reading DC.
