Bright Lights of the Dark Age
#5 of 5: DC’s Alternative/Magical Comics
I fell completely out of comics in the early 90s (hey, i was in high school and there were more important things - girls and getting into stupid situations, ifyouwanttoknow). That was until a friend of mine handed me a stack of what was soon to be rebranded as DC’s Vertigo line of comics: Shade the Changing Man, Books of Magic, Swamp Thing, Doom Patrol, Hellblazer and Sandman. They blew my hormone addled mind- comics that weren’t simple morality tales but deeper more psychological stories. That was it, I was hooked (again).
There was a time when comics were horrible to behold, a time when the ability to realize what was drawn or written well was completely lost. That time was the nineties. I don’t know what was happening in comics at that time, but it was the Dark Age of comics - a speculator’s market of drivel. I remember people buying multiple copies of this particular comic, in order to have some without the poly bag it was contained in ‘mint’. It was truly horrible, but there was some hope in the awfulness of the X-book, punishing azbats of the time. Take a gander tomorrow for my brightest lights of the dark age…
