I'm sort of curious as to why anyone should find this all that interesting, since the IPC characters have, as was discussed in the link, been adopted, adulterated and generally messed around with in all sorts of tributes and hommages by British comic writers. At this very moment a number of IPC characters are being reworked and generally messed with by Paul Grist in Jack Flag. As such, I don't think that, beyond a small percentage of completists or obsessives, British readers will be excited by the opportunity to read about characters who are kind of de facto open resources for British comic writers. If anything, it risks making that sort of homage harder, which strikes me as a bad thing even when weighted against the joy of a Leah Moore Kelly's Eye.
Of course, I have overestimated British comic book readers many, many times, but I don't think that his is necessarily going to be as epochal a moment for them as the hype might suggest, nor indeed that the younger readers are going to be as excited as the forty-plus creators... could be good, but we'll see. |
