A nice 6 issue story of a book from the Vertigo catalog not talked about nearly enough
Peter Milligan
Brett Ewins
Steve Dillon (Inks)
Tom Ziuko
and
Tom Frame
This is 6 issues of Crime Comics
Come Along
Ewins has such an incredible and distinct style and almost no other style works better with these flat colors, from Johnny Nemo to Bad Company to this not enough work by him out there (Rest in Peace)
Cool, last obscure thing from Vertigo that I saw was Dan Dashly showing us Milligan's "Girl"
Bump for great comics. Milligan is the unsung hero of the British Invasion.

You should check out the rest of Milligan's Vertigo minis/one shots if you haven't. Face is one of my favorite comics ever.
>>90810932
Did you ever finish Shade?
>>90810902
The frankface was still strong even in 1989, it seems.
Milligan and his collaborators made Vertigo worth it, Enigma is the best book that has that label.
>>90810951
No I fell of reading it not sure where, stuff came up.
>>90810951
I started a Shade binge a while ago (around issue #5 of Changing Girl) but fell off it at around #33 when it had the soft relaunch. I keep meaning to get back to it
>>90810984
Maybe, it's definitely up there and while there might be others on it's level, I wouldn't put anything above it.. I just wish he'd work with Fegredo again, they're a magnificent team.
>>90811067
Fegredo and Bachalo are two guys whose styles have both changed so much since then.
>>90811047
>the soft relaunch
I think the switch to Vertigo (the hotel era specifically) was the best stretch of the book. Hell of a place to drop off.
>>90811067
What's Milligan up to these days? I imagine he got burned out by the early N52 business
>>90811107
Bachalo is so bad nowadays.
Fegredo needs a writer like Milligan that can push him, there's a significant difference between how Girl and Face look for example and Enigma doesn't have a(one) style.
>>90811205
I like both of Bachalo's modes
>>90811146
He did Britannia and is now writing a sequel mini. He also did The Discipline(it was alright) and I think he just got done with The Mummy. Biggest problem with Milligan nowadays is artists, I read the first issue of The Mummy and I thought it was pretty good but the art was so bad I just forgot about it. And The Names I think is super underrated, if only it had a better artist(Fernandez is alright, just not great).
>>90811285
You seem to know your Milligan. What do you think happened at the end of his Hellblazer run? I remember not really enjoying it when I read it
>>90811410
He was told to wrap it up and so he rushed something out.

I wonder if Brubaker ever read this

The End

Thanks for the storytime, this was really good
Thanks OP
>>90810951
Enigma is the best book of all Vertigo
Jeez. That was really good.
Thanks for the storytime.
It reminded me of the Elric storytime. A man can't evade his fate. Are there any comics that deal with the opposite?
>>90810932
Solid use of colors on this page.
The kids raised on photoshop comics don't know shit about this.
Both artists are dead :(
>>90811373
>>90811383
funny how Milligan could get away with having his main character offing a pregnant woman in his comics back in 1989 but Jason Pearson got nothing but shit for it in 1996...
bump for incest
So uh, this story is credited as being created by Peter Milligan and Brett Ewins...
of them which is the one with the Ayn Rand boner?
Cuz this story reads very much like a gangsterized version The Fountainhead to me...
or are these kinds of comic book protagonists all Randian sociopaths thanks to Ditko?
>>90811961
I have to thank you, Honorary Legionnaire, as I've had this single issue of this comic in my collection since I was 12. This is the first time I've been able to know what came before and after this.
Cheers bruh.
