...sure sounds like a good idea. Use the superheroes to lure mainstream America into reading the work of the independent artists, while also appealing to the audience of those alternative works. (And perhaps breath some life into stale characters?) Some of the better-known indy "names" included in the project are Eddie Campbell ("From Hell"), Gilbert Hernandez ("Love and Rockets"), Tony Millionaire ("Maakies"), Paul Pope ("Heavy Liquid") and Andi Watson ("Breakfast After Noon"), along with about fifty others. Their collaborations have created an anthology of mostly light-hearted takes on the lives of superheroes...
...Then the seduction began. The lure of seeing his opinions printed verbatim in the New Yorker and the Wall Street Journal would be a heady tonic for anyone who moves in the power circles of Washington D.C., let alone a district court judge in the autumn of his years. Jackson may well argue that he simply could not contain himself; his rage at the disingenuousness and the arrogance spewing forth from the Microsoft bench day after day was as ill-disguised inside the courtroom as out - more than once he called a recess, red-faced and practically spitting, to compose...

...lure to a classmate, Jenny (Gretchen Mol, the Vanity Fair cover girl who was in two Woody Allen films), and a threat to Jenny's fiancé Phillip (Frederick Weller, who played Brian Wilson in a recent Beach Boys bio-pic). Where attraction looms, in a LaBute play, pain must follow. It's his theme: that people, people like us, hurt people. He has the craft to ensure they do so instructively and entertainingly. The play wouldn't work as seductively as it does-the set-up, the darkening, the climactic switcheroo-without four beguiling actors who make their characters...
