  1. Hmm…

    Looks interesting.

  2. Wow, what a great retro week: first I see my beloved PHANTOM ZONE miniseries by Steve Gerber getting the sweet tpb treatment – and now Gaiman’s & McKean’s BLACK ORCHID, which kicked so much late 80s ass that I’m almost misty-eyed just thinking about it. The story and artwork were magnificent, I still think about this tale all these years later. Just awesome stuff.

  3. Really wish they would collect her 70s stories. The Black Orchid character was kinda ahead of its time — but also had a bit of a pulp hero feel. The 80s series was beautiful, but it didn’t really do much to revive the character — and I actually preferred the original concept over purple plant lady.
