While I was poking around the DC Comics website, I was reminded that they own Vertigo comics. Vertigo published the "Skreemer" 6 issue limited series. I immediately ran to the basement and rifled through my old books, and there they were. All six copies, neatly encased in mylar and acid free backing board. The story centers around Veto Skreemers rise, in a depression era backdrop, from a young street urchin to the head of the most powerful criminal organization in the country. The story is narrated by Peter Finnegan as he recounts how Veto Skreemer's rise intersects with the Finnegan's constant struggle to survive in the time after the fall.
Skreemer won the "Favourite Single or Continued Story US" Eagle Award in 1989. It's a great read. You can find the trade paperback at DC Comics or Amazon
I'm not getting paid off of this. Just enjoyed the series. Frankly, I take umbrage with the inference. When I am getting paid it will be very obvious. So, suck it. Sphere: Related Content
