Oh, indeed, he earned the right to have an award named after him. In a time when a lot of comics were churned out in similar styles and names (I just finished reading "The Ten-Cent Plague", so...), Eisner really took the crime drama genre and made it his own. His art is impressive, since he would master every rule and then systematically break each one. And his stories were great, sharing the central theme of the Spirit, but incorporating all sorts of points of view and interesting characters. I highly recommend it.
Will you be doing any more issues of "Astounding Adventures"? Will there be a perilous misadventure there the Earth Shaker is quite nearly unmasked? Will a courageous reporter be tied to train tracks - at any point - simply because Mojo had seen that once in a motion picture? Does Maddrox get in trouble while on the crime beat and a certain heroic duo must come to his aid? WHO IS the mysterious Miss Miller? Will the daring doo-gooders rescue a maiden from a vicious werewolf, even when it is revealed that she and the wolf are one and the same? Readers wish to know!
OH MY GOD HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT VICTIMS BEING TIED TO TRAIN TRACKS. ... Which is sad, because if any childhood media resulted in warping my sexuality it was that sort of ridiculousness. And because Julio would be SO PISSED.
rukia if I could hug you through the internet, I would.
There will be many of those things and more, which is to say that "Astounding Adventures" will, indeed, be a continuing series. I need to go to the gym and ponder over various ideas that I have, as well as overdose my poor brain on noir films and old comic books. It should have interesting results.
E-hugs, jet packs, and a helmet that lets me type with my brain. Coming to you in 2050, or later.
I must find someway to get Julio tied to the train tracks. It's not like he'd be in any real danger, but I don't think he's want to risk civilian lives by knocking a train off the tracks. It doesn't fit into the next adventure I have planned, but I will make this work.
It's gonna suck when I see my great-grandkids zooming around in jet packs and my hips to bad to join in. "Oh, well, it TOOK 'em LONG enough!"
Hehehe, Ben will have to be very tactful about the whole debacle afterwards. I'm sure for weeks Julio won't be able to even look a model train set without developing an angry twitch.
It's just embarrassing. Poor Julio. I will definitely have to come up with a way to make him rescue Shatterstar... again. Because his ego is rather fragile.

I'm still waiting for effective E-Hugs to be invented and introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show. (That and personal Jet Packs.)
Yay! I look forward to more of their adventures! XD
