Mr A

Recent events have reminded me of Good Omens and its protagonist. Mr A have been appearing in the comic books. He's the hero in Garth Ennis' Wormwood and looks like he will save the day as well in Ghost Riders: Heaven's On Fire. The angels are the bad guys in this story arc.

A far cry from the 70s when Tony Isabella's (creator of DC's Black Lightning) fought with Jim Shooter over a Ghost Rider storyline he wrote in the late 70s.

This event was mentioned too in Brian Cronin's Was Superman A Spy?

Since we're on the topic of biblical tales, do get Robert Crumb's The Book of Genesis Illustrated, which makes a great companion piece to Basil Wolverton's Agony and Ecstasy and The Wolverton Bible.

Happy Sunday.
