DC Direct Currents #25 (Books shipping in February, 1990)This is the weirdest issue yet. I've never head of any of these books. It's like they're from an alternate reality. Pepe Moreno doing a digital Batman comic, The Atlantis Chronicles, a Tempus Fugitive mini-series, and a Dragonlance graphic novel. I clearly wasn't visiting the comic book store yet, but even if I was, these things wouldn't have been on my radar. Joseph Torres from Canada writes in asking if Direct Currents can have a question and answer section. He mentions the old Answer Man column on the Daily Planet page in Bronze Age DC comics. That leads to the editor giving us the history of The Answer Man, Bob Rozakis. In the end, she fobs Joe off and tells him to write to the Comics Buyer's Guide instead. The interview this month is with Pepe Moreno, who has an interesting backstory and is very passionate about digital art. The cover of the month is a Wonder Woman cover that wouldn't make sense to people who don't read the series. The back cover is Sugar & Spike #83. I remember being excited for Digital Justice as it was a neat concept that a computer generated comic was possible. I remember reading it, like Slam_Bradley said, its Digital Garbage. A terrible story but you have to start somewhere. I met Pepe Moreno years later at a Hero Initiative event we were doing and I talked to him about it as he was signing people's copy. He had to work with what was out there. He's a wildly successful video game developer and has done tons of art projects around the world. Super sweet guy. The Atlantis Chronicles is an amazingly great read. It's Peter David's best DC work, I think. It took forever to get a proper collection but worth the read.

Dog Moon (1996) Grateful Dead collaborator and lyricist Robert Hunter wrote a haunting love story that only Vertigo could publish back in the mi-90s. The story of a world where the recently dead await their Charon to take them to the beyond. In a weird Mad Max desolate landscape filled with Bosch like nightmares, two drivers of a truck collect the dead to take them to the next stop. One pick-up of a beautiful lady leads to an odd love story between the hero and his mysterious lady. Hunter, who's work with the Grateful Dead (Darkstar, Ripple, Truckin') has such beautiful imagery and only one person could bring his words to life, Tim Truman. Truman had long standing friendship with the band, so it was a slam dunk. Its beautifully painted by Truman in his style. Its an underrated beauty.

Gotham by Gaslight was an interesting start, I definitely missed Mignola's moodier art but it was decent enough. I like how they're calling this a sequel to Gotham by Gaslight. Apparently the editors didn't read Master of the Future..... -R
