	A lot of this stuff is not the usual superhero stuff, but I don't consider that a bad thing. The link I gave is the index to the blogs, which contain sample pages of nearly every series, so you can get a taste of them.

	Good idea for a quiz, but I think we should have to answer in order; it's just too easy to type in a few superhero names and 15 or 20 points. Priest shouldn't be listed for 12; he's a writer, not an artist. Also, I'm gonna find everyone who voted and force them to read Usagi Yojimbo, but that's on them, not you.

	Disappointed by the absence of Usagi Yojimbo and Carl Barks Duck comics.

	rockgolf:	Dec 1st, 2012 at 18:58 GMT		5 points
	@nppyinzer: @Alstair: Usagi Yojimbo didn't make the 2012 list but was #98 on the original list about 2-1/2 years ago. Carl Barks (Uncle Scrooge, Huey Dewey & Louie, & other Disney books) just missed the top 50, at #54 -- and it wasn't on the original list! So things are looking up for him. And I'd agree, they showed a genius far beyond the typical kiddie comics. True story: A European firm developed a method of resurfacing sunken vessels by filling them with, basically, ping pong balls. It should have been worth millions, but they were denied the patent because Carl Barks had used exactly that method in a comic book for the same purpose decades earlier. http://www.iusmentis.com/patents/priorart/donaldduck/ has the details. Now, where else are you gonna hear about stuff like this?

	Still waiting for Prez to make the list.

	@Caramba: Sadly, it was cancelled after less than 12 issues, so it didn't qualify. Ex Machina takes up similar themes. Perhaps it's an unconscious tribute.

	Rucka and Brubaker were co-writers on Gotham Central, the artist was Michael Lark. Otherwise great quiz.
