Thor is pretty cool as long as you are not a frost giant or troll or Loki and just want to drink beer or beat up frost giants or trolls or Loki.

Nope. It was central to the Original Writer's vision that an array of fallen superheroes engage in prostitution.

Captain Oblivious posted:You had to have made this up. Nope! quote:It had all started with little Billy Batson and his problem. There he was, unwilling to give up being human, still spending a lot of time in a child's body. The unfortunate thing was that though little Billy's body didn't age, his mind did. Trapped in a child's body but afflicted with adult needs, Billy went quietly... well, bats, I suppose. A lot of the problems were sexual. Physically, Billy was not capable of normal sex and thus pretty soon began to experiment with more bizarre variations such as S&M, visiting the appropriate bars in clothing that made him look as grown-up as possible while he still had the face and body of a child. At a certain club on a certain night, Billy had met a strikingly tall call girl who seemed to meet his every fantasy requirement. They went to a room upstairs together and locked it from within. Billy was tied up, and then agreed to be gagged. At this point the call girl began to melt and change shape, shimmering as if through a heat haze before Billy's startled eyes. In the end, instead of a six foot six human woman, Billy is staring at a seven and a half foot tall green Martian man. It is J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter, on Earth incognito using his power of disguise. Billy, being gagged, cannot say Shazam and turn into Captain Marvel. Nor can he prevent the Manhunter snapping his neck with one blow of his hand. The Manhunter then walks out invisibly through the walls and leaves a dead midget and an unsoluble mystery. The Manhunter has assumed the Captain's identity, being able to convincingly duplicate his powers, in order to catch Superman by surprise when the alien invasion finally comes. You can read the whole thing here.

Thatcher's Britain and DC Comics mistreating him put him in a bad mood he didn't get out of until the mid-90s when he worked at ABC (comics not the TV network). Then all his poo poo movie adaptations in the 00s almost sent him back but he retreated into porn and freaky sex.

RyuujinBlueZ posted:loving hell. There's something seriously wrong with Alan Moore. 1980's. Not to be too community college literary analysis here but..... This was the time when it was becoming general popular knowledge that America (and, I guess England to a lesser extent) had been consistently involved in some heinous poo poo. The world's superpower is increasingly viewed as corrupt, if not outright evil, depicting its comic supermen as being the same became sort of the vogue. You can't properly pull that off without decadence, also pretty reflective of the time. Compare that to now when it is generally agreed that there aren't any superpowers, just a globalized cynicism and irony. As a result, depicting heroes as Hawkguy has sort of become the vogue.

Jesus, the more I hear/read about Moore, the more I believe that he's just a crazy person who occasionally strikes gold. Kinda like Frank Miller, but at least we know that it was 9/11 that really broke Frank. bobkatt013 posted:Lost girls started in 1991 and was finished in 2006 Oh, god, don't remind me of that thing.

It's not that occasionally he hits gold but that he treats comics as an art form as well as entertainment and when he gets experimental he can lose people. A part of which is due to his tendency to throw you in at the deep end when he brings his more esoteric interests to bear.
