I've heard they were really good, but have only a handfull of singles. Someone should reprint them somewhere on line (in Barbelith?) .

Jack:

You have but to ask, or perform a decent web search, and you shall receive. The original Barebelith website is up, running and reprinting those letter columns. Be sure to send a thank you note to that site's host Jay Babcock.

Frankly they were little better than the Preacher lettercolumns, just with less profanity and less people pretending to be Irish.

Begob, but wouldn't that make 'em worse than Preacher's lettercolumns? Top of the fuckin' mornin' to yeh all, BTW.

(Me, I loved The Invisibles's letter columns. Thought they were magically delicious.)

I just remember them as lots of 'Wow Grant, do you remember how you said 1997 was going to be a shit year? Well, yesterday I tripped over and broke my comb. How did you know?' type bollocks, the only ones any good being when Grant didn't actually answer any letters but explained chaos magic or his illness.

I think I enjoyed his little rants in the letter column to the comic itself. Like how he asked his readers to track down a Captain Kirk trading card from the 60's so he could blow it up, make a mural on his wall of it and stand in awe of the glory of Kirk.

Or when a guy named Bob Haney wrote in and Morrison rambled on about a particular issue of Brave and the Bold written by the other Bob Haney that had Morrison's favourite protrayal of Batman in it. I found that issue recently, and it's right up there with Super-Heroes versus Super-Gorillas.
