Is good writing defined by individual sentences
or the whole book they fill?

So you read The Invisibles?
--Not yet. Most of my latter-day comics reading has revolved
around the Hernandez Brothers, Roberta Gregory, and Carol Lay
and similar "alternate" newspaper folk. Though I did enjoy
Rachel Pollack's underrated run on DOOM PATROL, which I
stumbled across. And I've delved into the earlier Alan Moore
and Frank Miller. When not reading George Woodcock, Noam
Chomsky, Colman McCarthy, Paul Goodman, Leo Tolstoi, John
Leonard, Emma Goldman...
". . . vigilante-nonfan (even though Batman was the best DC
comics guy, yes, aside from the Specter, and I just enjoyed
his horror connotations"
the mention of the Spectre (didn't DC use the Brit
spelling?)
---I think you're correct. And while I knew of the '40s
version, I read the
'70s version, which you and I seem to be among the few to
remember. TM
