RE: “Read a Damn Book – 164: Spawn – Origins Collection – Volume 1”
Humble Bundle started as mainly video games and that’s still it’s biggest focus, but there’s frequently good comics, role playing games, and non-fiction offers. I just snagged a huge bundle of art & design books recently.
Lady Death was different, you’re thinking of Angela probably! She, the medieval Spawn concept, the mentor “Cogliostro”, all came from Gaiman. I’d need a refresher on the legal battles! They ended up involving the rights to Miracleman which I believe McFarlane had acquired and used in barter, and years down the line here... Angela is now owned by Marvel and used in the Thor and Guardians of the Galaxy storylines...
The legal wrangling is as confusing as the comic continuity itself!
Ha! My Grandpa brain mixing things up again! (Now I need to research Lady Death. I sort of remember liking that, whatever it was...) But yeah, that's some complexity.
I did, however, sign up for the Humble Bundle newsletter. From here, we play the waiting game... (Thanks again for the info, on the Bundle stuff AND the comics. I drifted away from the comic shops when my first daughter was born in 1993, so my knowlegde AFTER that is spotty at best!)
