It WAS pretty weird.</blockquote> I'd have to assume it was more he didn't nessecarily want to commit to a comics job just then (the industry was in a HUGE slump when he started out) - I can't imagine someone with his design sense, and flexibility of styles, couldn't get a job outside of comics. When are we going to get a trade of Chase anyway? DC obviously acknowledges him as a 'name', the character does appear in other books, DC's got Checkmate and Suicide Squad doing alright... surely releasing a trade makes sense.

Curtis Johnson's Chase - I always think of it as JH Williams III's Chase. Anyone else remember when it was like a scavanger hunt to find his work pre-Promethea? It was a short story in a Starman annual here, a fill-in issue there, he's improved in leaps and bounds since then, but he started so good I was always puzzled by the fact he wasn't a big name from the get-go.

Paul: Yep. That phrasing's much better. Dan: Works for me. I see V for Vendetta as Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, and From Hell as Blood On the Tracks.

I think those 50 issues of C/D are going to stand up really well years from now.
