That's the common misconception about the "Giffen" era... It was his vision, and he mostly called the shots, but it was the Bierbaums' excellent writing that caught me (that and their devotion and detail to Legion lore). If you've ever checked out the 2995 DC Heroes Sourcebook (which they wrote) you know that they KNOW Legion mythos.

Yeah man, hardcore Legion fan here... My fave periods are the Levitz era, the Giffen/Bierbaum era, the Abnett/Lanning era, and the Waid/Kitson era.

[ Posted by cjh on Dec 27th, 2006 2:02 AM ]... The Levitz era was pretty great. The Bierbaums tend to get overshadowed by Giffen's involvement though.

Thanks for the add! Fellow Ohio resident here (I'm in the Columbus/Reynoldsburg area).

Thanks for the add! Looks like we may have a few friends in common (I mean outside of ComicSpace, in Cleveland).
Best,
Ken

Hey, Chris- thanks for the support! I hear ya on being a fan before being able to read. I was the same way, looking at Archie Comics before I could even understand what the hell they were saying! Cheers!!!

Red Dahlia was originally supposed to be a series. The co-creator/co-writer John Daiker and I both got extremely busy with other things so it looks like there might not be more to the story within the near future. I might revisit ol' Red in the far off future, but for now I'm concentrating on other aspects of the site like code and the other comics I have updating as well as new features to be brought there in the future. ^_^

Thank you for the mention.
