....I’m just glad somebody else knows that comic!....I'm glad everyone's memory is sharper than mine. The real detail I always get mixed up about Mike is in the miniseries when he tells Bill he climbed all the way back down into the sewers to retrieve the melted silver lodged in the drain. And maybe it's part of the magic of the book but the ending always goes back to being hazy in my memory. But for as long as IT is, every time I finish it it feels too short.
Insomnia was great, too. I think I read it when I was twelve and it was my introduction to the astral plane. I saw the "shadow men" phenomena out of the corner of my eye many times that summer and of course I thought of the bald doctors. To me that's what they were. But when I read Insomnia I envisioned the bald doctors to look like the Iz from The Maxx comic book series. It's been so long I'm not sure I've got the name right.
I haven't read it in forever. I actually only had a couple issues. I was a Marvel Comics kid and Image was still relatively new. I mostly watched the cartoon on MTv Oddities. I consumed mass quantities of MTv in my youth. I was a particular fan of The State. My grandma wouldn't buy cable at knife point (she still doesn't have it to this day) so I would only get to see it at a friend's house when I would sleep over. I've noticed it's strange how badly I wanted to be able to remember my youth and how hard it really is to look back on it now without feeling bittersweet.....I’m just glad somebody else knows that comic!....
