"Do it?"Dan, I'm not a Republic serial villain. Do you seriously think I'd explain my masterstroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting the outcome?
I did it thirty-five minutes ago.
Alan Moore's Watchmen, still held up by many -- ok, me -- as one of the best graphic novels ever, superhero stuff or no, by way of a LiveJournal comment.

If you saw them as a youth but not recently, I warn you, without the rose-colored glasses of nostalgia. . . they look like ass.
ditto on watchmen. also a big fan of scott mccloud's book.
do we include flash gordon as a republic serial? i loved that one. i have a lot of happy memories of watching "sci fi cinema" late saturday nights in portland. i probably wouldn't be disappointed. i get a certain joy out of seeing the wire from which hangs the dry ice filled coffee thermos with fins.
