Her style is more fluid than Yeowell's but it still feels like the same comic series. We'll get to it a bit latter in the Invisible Ink part of this post but Thompson is the Ragged Robin character here. And maybe a blank badge.īut what is actually in the comic? Well, for one thing there is a lot of really great Jill Thompson and perfect Daniel Vozzo colors.

All you need to get started is this handy how to manual called The Invisibles. ".even if they have never met any other Invisibles." See, sometimes The Invisibles work alone. So, in a comic book where the bad guys use mind control and propaganda, the comic book itself is using a bit of both to convince you that this thing is a bomb about to explode and make you a part of this incredible thing. The inside cover goes on to get you up to date on King Mob and his crew as well as hype up the baddie Orlando as a "vicious killer". The only rule of the organization is disobedience." It may be connected to the fabled Illuminati - it may not even exist in anything but conceptual terms - but all of its members know that they belong in its ranks, even if they have never met any other Invisibles. "An organization dedicated to subversive activity in all its forms, it has been implicated in everything from the French and American Revolutions to strange graffiti on toilet walls. The inside covers read like advertisements for the comic you already bought but also include some get-the-new-reader-caught-up stuff. Morrison must have really gotten Vertigo to buy into this thing to get them to give up three pages of ad space. It is a wrap around cover and the inside front and back covers are also part of the design. And as I said in an earlier post, it was the cover that got me to finally buy in and get my own copies of The Invisibles. It looked like nothing else on the stands at the time. It looked both punk and top-secret-government-conspiracy at the same time. That computer font which was not yet over played at that time. The Who Live at Leeds, Zepplin's In Through The Out Door. It is a very DIY punk rock kind of cover. It is printed on a brown paper bag kind of paper. It was the 90s and multiple covers was a pretty standard gimmick so I should not be surprised. I don't know why there are multiple covers and have only recently become aware of them. "YOU ARE NOW LEAVING THE TWENTIETH CENTURY", "CRASH THE BUS", "NEW WORLD DISORDER", "WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON", "BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING LEARN TO BECOME INVISIBLE" and "IN THE DARKNESS WE ARE ALL INVISIBLE" are the ones that I am aware of. Thanks Jill Thompson!) There multiple versions of this cover with multiple tag lines.
(Only, my copy has Jill Thompson's autograph on it.
The image I posted above is the front and back of the version I have. They are designed by Rian Hughes who did the first issue. There are at least four versions that I am aware of. We gotta talk about this cover for a bit first.
