Tomorrow Stories

|
Tomorrow Stories was a comicbook series created by the legendary Alan Moore, for his America's Best Comics (ABC) line, published by Wildstorm (now a subsidiary of DC Comics).
Tomorrow Stories started in August 1999 as a collection of short stories featuring the same characters (give or take one or two) every issue. These characters were:
- Cobweb - Created by Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie.
- First American - Created by Alan Moore and Jim Baikie.
- Greyshirt - Created by Alan Moore and Rick Veitch.
- Jack B. Quick - Created by Alan Moore and Kevin Nowlan.
- Splash Brannigan - Created by Alan Moore and Hilary Barta.
An initial title in the eagerly awaited America's Best Comics line, Tomorrow Stories, was unfortunately met with much dislike from fans. With each character only given a few pages per issue to develop, it took sometime before even Alan Moore seemed completely in stride with the characters. Indeed it wasn't really until the last six issues that Tomorrow Stories really became something good. Unfortunately by then sales had dropped so low that it was discontinued.
