Reading through the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen annotations I linked to last week, I was thrilled to see my favorite Victorian-era characters mentioned in one way or another, including The Twenty-One Balloons' William Waterman Sherman, The Thinking Machine, and A.J. Raffles (with strong hints that The Amateur Cracksman will be a member of the League in the next series!) Only Flashman is conspicuously absent, probably because George Frasier is still up and about writing*.

Those annotations led me to Peter Karpas' fantastic collection of comic annotations, even covering Captain Carrot! Time to dig out my Zoo Crew collection...

(Also found while surfing this evening was Inventing Comics, an interesting reaction to Scott McCloud. It's always good to see debate going on about something youlove at this deep a level. means there are other folks out there who take it just as seriously.)

* Let's pause for a moment and hope that Frasier sits down soon and writes the missing Flashman novel covering the rest of the American years, shall we?
