I don't recall which issue it is, I think around 25 or 26, but right there, the Doom Patrol fight a villain who claims to be both Jack the Ripper and God. And that's what, a good 15 years before From Hell?<BR/><BR/>So, unless there's another antecedent I'm not aware of, I have to concede that Morrison did that one first.<BR/><BR/>But Moore did it better. :)Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13298753675007196538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-20796707839869016712008-06-12T16:13:00.000-04:002008-06-12T16:13:00.000-04:00Jason -- THANKS!

I need to never say anyone did anything first again, except Claremont. <BR/><BR/>Or is the lesson here, screw who does it first, I know who does it better. <BR/><BR/>Ping: no problem.Geoff Klockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09080580776997273785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-75058390584064223982008-06-12T14:31:00.000-04:002008-06-12T14:31:00.000-04:00great interview, too bad I can't get to the Met.Th...great interview, too bad I can't get to the Met.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the shout out :)Ping33https://www.blogger.com/profile/09631445208675326795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-35496041960632216972008-06-12T10:28:00.000-04:002008-06-12T10:28:00.000-04:00Geoff, I was thinking -- if I do a regular feature...Geoff, I was thinking -- if I do a regular feature called Claremont Did Everything First, perhaps it could also be supplemented by a sidebar called Grant Morrison Did Nothing First. :) <BR/><BR/>In that spirit ... The lightning bolt against the moon in whatever to symbolize the the Flash in whatever comic had that --<BR/><BR/>That was done in the pilot episode of the Flash TV series from the 1990s, and was -- I think -- influenced by the bit in Burton's first Batman movie when the bat-shaped plane flies above the clouds and hangs against the moon for a second, becoming Batman's chest emblem.<BR/><BR/>Morrison was doing nothing original there. As per usual! :)<BR/><BR/>(I posted this on the CGS forum, but I enjoy knocking Morrison so much, I'm posting it here too.)<BR/><BR/>Great interview, Dr. Klock, and the event sounds like it's going to be *awesome*. I really wish I lived closer to where it's happening, because I'd love to see it. Best of luck to you!Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13298753675007196538noreply@blogger.com
