I had a real good time reading these Don Simpson mags. After reading these I officially prefer the Bizarre Heroes Mega-verse over Bob Burden’s Mystery Men-iverse. I’ve read most of the first series of Megaton Man and there was something about them that I couldn’t get into but these are later in the cycle – I think his artwork has gotten a little tighter and stylistically formed. The long term story continuity is interesting in that it seems to have progressed very little from the first Megaton Man series (early ‘80s) to Yarn Man #1 in 1989 to Bizarre Heroes #11 in 1995. It’s not a bad thing – I like that Simpson just seems like he’s screwing around and making goofy comic books. 

Border Worlds seems like a pretty interesting comic … I’ve only read bits and pieces of it but maybe I’ll get the collected version one of these days.

I also checked out Metacops #1 from Monster Comics (aka Fantagraphics) and there’s pretty decent art by this guy John Heebink who I haven’t seen before but it’s an otherwise unfunny comic. The inside back cover has an ad for Don Simpson’s King Kong adaptation also from Monster Comics (just so I can keep this an all-Dandy post).
