He started out as yer standard dull crimefighter, then got the 70s leftie overhaul, followed by some Reagan-era Grellness, and then a healthy dose of 90s selfishness and jerkitude. Blend on high, and you come up with a complex character who is a decent amalgamation of all of the above -- maybe not someone you would want as a friend, but someone you might want to read about.<BR/><BR/><BR/>* A phenomenon first identified in Absorbascon #211!<BR/><BR/>- Annotatin' AnonymousAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-20904347204471476802008-02-14T12:04:00.000-05:002008-02-14T12:04:00.000-05:00Just one thing I wanted to add that came out last ...Just one thing I wanted to add that came out last week but due to oddness of space time (ie I got paid this week) I just had to mention<BR/><BR/>Judge dredd megazine (trust me its dc related)<BR/><BR/>So you are running a reprint of Bob the galactic bum.
