When I was a lowercase symbol I wasn't really into superhero comics, reading 2000ad, Transformers, and Spider-man and Zoid, meaning I can honestly say I read Grant Morrison before they were cool! A sign of how out of the loop I was about super comics I knew about Detective deWolf and Sin Eater, but not about Venom, a character I completely missed until I got into comics proper at the turn of the millinium! The one superhero comic I did get was DC Action, a reprint comic in the UK with the hottest DC stories from the US. Along with such stories as Morrison's Animal Man was the original Justice League International stories.
