Terminal City: Aerial Graffiti (1998)

Posted on by EHT Comics

Cosmo Quinn and the city he calls home return in this 5-issue miniseries from Terminal City collaborators Dean Motter and Michael Lark, with covers by Mark Chiarello. Picking up six months after Terminal City left off, “human fly” Quinn has resumed his uneventful career as a window washer. But things change, and quickly, when a disgruntled ex-skywriter decides to vent his frustrations in an unusual way, using the skies above Terminal City as a canvas for his “aerial graffiti”–unprintable obscenities that threaten to tarnish the futurist city’s finest hour: the opening of the Trans-Atlantic Tunnel connecting Terminal City to Paris. The police ask Cosmo’s help in bringing the airborne vandal down to Earth, but there are, of course, complications, as the Mayor has hired an agent of his own–the mysterious lady in red named Monique Rome–to thwart the skywriter.

Madman – Kitchen Sink/Tundra (1993)

Posted on by EHT Comics

Created by Mike Allred, the character first appeared in Creatures of the Id (Oct. 1990). Frank Einstein was born Zane Townsend, an agent of the Tri-Eye Agency. Townsend was killed in a car accident, then stitched back together and brought to life by two scientists, Dr. Egon Boiffard and Dr. Gillespie Flem. This resurrection left him amnesiac, and the resurrected John Doe was named after Boiffard’s artistic and scientific heroes, Frank Sinatra and Albert Einstein, respectively. The procedure left Frank with supernatural reflexes and a slight degree of precognitive and empathic power; however, he remembers nothing about his former life, but faint, troubling memories relating to his death. Madman’s costume is based on the only thing he can clearly remember: a fascination with a comic book character called Mr. Excitement.
