The below having been said: When I first read Watchmen, I remember wishing desperately that the comic-within-a-comic, Tales of the Black Freighter, were a real thing, and that an anthology title by diverse writers and artists—a one-shot omnibus or a miniseries—might be a worthwhile project. Some of the stories might expand on the sluglines that Moore provides in the metafictional material within Watchmen itself, while others would be originals in the same vein.
And, you know, done right, it’d be something like Dark Horse’s Escapist comics, which riff on Michael Chabon’s novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay—respectful, paying tribute not only to the original creators but to the works that inspired them. And you know, maybe if DC were to put together such a project today, if I were by some fluke offered the opportunity to participate, well, I suppose I could think about it…
AND WITH A RUSH AND A PUSH DAN DiDIO HAS COME TO CLAIM MY SOUL
