Comments on Graphic Book Review: Simon Dark's Gotham CityBut how would Simon know? He's a Frankensteinian patchwork quilt of body parts himself. Quickly and haphazardly sewn together from many different bodies, and heads, he was given life through occult science. But why? This intriguing nature of Simon's origin is a fascinating puzzle. If Niles did not have Simon start remembering his "birth" so early in the series run, the larger mystery may have added more ongoing suspense and intrigue. An echo of Wolverine's search for his origin comes to mind here, although Wolverine is the product of comic book science, not test tubes and tentacles and pentagrams encircled with heads.TypePad2009-02-25T01:32:48ZJM Cozzolihttps://www.zomboscloset.com/zombos_closet_of_horror_b/tag:typepad.com,2003:https://www.zomboscloset.com/zombos_closet_of_horror_b/2009/03/simon-dark/comments/atom.xml/
