Finally the other day when, after the busy whirlwind of work and WonderCon had died down, I found myself on a long boring bus ride. With deep anticipation, I pulled out the three comic books that I’d been saving; Hellblazer, Neonomicon and Fables.

We’ve come a long way since the Comics Code Authority reigned supreme over the industry. Comic book characters and their creators can now let their freak flags fly.
