"I had written down the phrase 'Top 10,' a while back, and at the time, I was probably thinking of a more conventional Top 10 in the sense of the Fantastic Four - a group of 10 superheroes rather than what the idea actually turned out to be. I was thinking about super hero teams and how everybody likes team books apart from the fact that they are seldom much good." - Alan Moore

Wow, you guys are right. When you look at this series in retrospect, the bigotries and biases fly all over the place.

The whole super-animal crisis thing still amuses me though.

I liked the way the ABC line used "science" as equivalent to "super." Science powers, science heroes, etc. Very pulpy, and it conjures up this image of science (fiction) as something exotic and fantastical, which is in line with how many of us regarded it when we first got into superheroes as kids.
