TOP 10: BEYOND THE FARTHEST PRECINCT Annotations
Think you spotted all the in-jokes or "eye-kicks", as writer Paul Di Filippo called 'em, in TOP 10: BEYOND THE FARTHEST PRECINCT? If not, check out Jess Nevins Comic Book Annotations site. Jess is well known in the comics community particularly for his annotations of Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN comic book series. Jess annotations for that series was published in book form as Heroes & Monsters : The Unofficial Companion to the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen as well as A Blazing World : The Unofficial Companion to the Second League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Jess has annotations for all 5 issues of TOP 10: BEYOND THE FARTHEST PRECINCT. There are even more characters in these 5 books than Jess has in his annotations and I've sent those additions to to him.




Director Ross Marroso has produced a documentary called In A Single Bound which he says is the first documentary on the history of Superman! Marroso interviewed Jerry at Jerry's home back in 1999 for the documentary. Marroso says of DaOrdster's involvement in the project, "[Jerry's] support was instumental in its creation and in the final version remained a large part of the on-screen telling of the story."

This exciting project features a Who's Who of comic book artists and television actors including John Byrne, George Perez, Kerry Gammill, Alex Ross and Greg & Tim Hildebrandt as well as actors Jack "Jimmy Olsen" Larson, Noel "Lois Lane" Neill and Batman movie producer Michael Uslan.

With the new Superman movie in the wings, In A Single Bound, is just the thing to fill the void.
