It may entertain you to hear that I redrew this comic (after cutting it down to 24 pages) for 24hr Comic Day this year. You can read it here:

I am very eager to discuss exactly what Kane meant by this story, and what he was trying to say! For example, who is Bentley Wayland? I map him to Reagan but I'm not sure that's at all accurate, it might just be my own personal prejudices talking.

And what was the deal with spinning vs. vacuum? Is that deep, or just crazy?

Thanks for the scans, I'll do an art analysis post on them soon.; 7 October 2009 15:13
