I'm going to drop by there and see if they can get their hands on the comic book you were subscribing, providing the cost isn't too prohibitive.Case Wagenvoordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10598177456573356261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669238942080921290.post-17797668549107225862008-03-10T14:58:00.000-07:002008-03-10T14:58:00.000-07:00tee hee - financial retards -- naa i think it's be...tee hee - financial retards -- naa i think it's been perfectly orchestrated as someone has to be making money on these people.<BR/><BR/>and i don't read comic books but this one came across my desk and i read it.<BR/><BR/>"In 1998, DC published under its adult imprint Vertigo a two-issue prestige format comic simply titled Uncle Sam, which was written by Steve Darnall with painted artwork by Alex Ross. The book is not set in the standard DC Universe, and depicts Uncle Sam as a ragged old man who is tormented by visions of historical episodes and modern aspects of the United States at its worst. The bloody crushing of Shays' Rebellion is considered a particularly disillusioning moment for the character, which suggested for him that the professed ideals of the United States have never been seriously respected. Uncle Sam is forced to battle a dark doppelganger of himself based on corruption, deceit and oppression, with the identity of the United States at stake.<BR/><BR/>Uncle Sam was a top vote-getter for the Comics Buyer's Guide Fan Awards for Favorite Limited Series, Favorite Original Graphic Novel, and Favorite Story for 1998, and the collected edition was a top vote-getter for their Favorite Reprint Graphic Album Award for 1999."azgoddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15190285114417409204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669238942080921290.post-83816950313063693932008-03-07T13:10:00.000-08:002008-03-07T13:10:00.000-08:00That little glitch gave us WWI and WWII, and god k...That little glitch gave us WWI and WWII, and god knows what else.Case Wagenvoordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10598177456573356261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669238942080921290.post-221751788843645982008-03-07T11:22:00.000-08:002008-03-07T11:22:00.000-08:00The reason we don’t have to remember history is th...<I>The reason we don’t have to remember history is that it keeps repeating itself.</I><BR/><BR/>Oh my.
