It's not real, but man, I could stare at this pic for hours - I just wish it were bigger.

If this is the same one I think it is, I know the guy who did it and there's a whole minicomic which I've held in my hands. It's hilarious. "My generic ninja henchmen will take care of you!" And it ends with a preview of the next issue: "Watch out, Watchmen! Here comes the man called... The Comedian!"

But it's also possible that two people had the same idea...

Of course, about a decade back Moore did write some books for Awesome/Extreme/whatever other adjectives they used for a name that an 11 year would think of. Supreme is supposed to be pretty good, and what little I've seen of it suggests that's so. Somewhere along the line, I'm certain Liefeld probably drew (using that verb loosely) something Moore wrote. Which just goes to show... well, fuck if I know what it goes to show.

Supreme was really good. It was an amazing riff on Pre-Crisis Superman, and it's a shame Awesome went out of business or whatever before he could finish his run. (His Youngblood stories were incredibly fun as well, and proved it's not impossible to do one-issue stories in modern comics.)

And Liefeld did indeed draw an Alan Moore Supreme issue. #7 of the second volume (which I think was the last published one). It was a Jack Kirby tribute, with Liefeld drawing Supreme against Kirbyesque backgrounds and characters drawn by Rick Veitch (Vietch?). Was actually a bit of a heavy-handed tribute, I felt, actually. Marvel Boy #1 had a better superdense 1-panel Kirby tribute that said pretty much the same thing as this whole issue.

Checker just reprinted Judgement Day. I saw it in the comic store this week.

The Kirby tribute was #6, the unpublished #7 and #8 were to have been the two-part wrap up, featuring a war between the Supremacy and the Daxverse.

I think Alan Moore made some comments after Judgment Day had been published about how his panel descriptions were pretty much ignored a lot of the time by Rob Leifeld when it came to the art side of things...

yawn - thing's buddy

love that faux-Liefeld WATCHMEN! i remember that...

everybody was in that spoofing vibe then. guess DOOM FORCE inspired me to have an artist do something similar with a kids tv show for a photocopied mini-comic.

---

there was a big fight [for internet proportions] between Rick Veitch and Liefeld at the Comicon boards years ago.

they were arguing over missing SUPREME original art and probably late payments too, with the latter promising to get everything finally cleared.

and Veitch going "yeah, right, I'll wait right here" while urging people not to buy the Checkers collection...

Sítio do Pica-Pau Amarelo? That's twisted. I used to love it when I was a kid.
