Ciao, 
/\/\oreno

 internet... :-)
Chissa' come l'ha presa Paul Levitz, fosse stato per lui quella storia
non sarebbe mai uscita! Ma adesso che gli ha vinto un Eisner, che cosa
fa, la rinnega o la ristampa?
Bella figura da imbecille.
BTW anche l'inserto pubblicitario vittoriano che ha causato la
distruzione di "Extraordinary Gentlemen" #5 e' stato distribuito via
internet... non mi pare davvero fosse il caso. :-)

 internet... :-)
che pero' verra' inserita in un volume di prossima uscita!
sara' che era "diseducativa" solo nell'elseworld 80 page giant, mentre in un
volume da 25 dollari non lo e' piu'!

vale molto piu' del numero 1 di Tom Strong, IMHO...).  
gia', Top Ten migliora solo in seguito, mentre Promethea parte subito
alla grande.
Nel complesso comunque credo che sia Top a meritarsi la palma per il
miglior ABC

Le poche copie arrivate in Europa (e sottolineo poche, qualche decina al
massimo) sono gia' arrivate a cifre stratosferiche...
