I would have loved it. Still, I'm glad I heard about it at all, and I'm especially glad you posted all these wonderful scans and summaries of the issues.

I was already a comics reader--I followed Teen Titans & Batman and The Outsiders faithfully--but Amethyst dominated my imagination.

Amethyst was never intended to continue beyond the first 12 issue maxi-series... but then there was some toy interest, so DC commanded us to keep going, and we wanted the work...so... Many awful things have been done to the character since then, but I'll stand the original series against anything, and I'm glad you still cherish it. If you want any more input from me or Dan Mishkin, just say hi and ask away. I like your blog!-GC I think it’s great that you’re keeping AMETHYST alive!

The art really is pretty. I wasn't as crazy about the plot though. I have the 4 issue mini-series too, so I’ll be covering that eventually! The art really is pretty.

I also had the 4 issue follow-up series DC produced in the 9o's. I loved this series and continue to be a fan. If you like the original mini-series artwork you really should try to find the follow up 4 issue miniseries. The artwork in those was phenomenal. It would really be interesting if this series was manganized. I would be interested in reading it, since I also like to read manga.

This was one of my very first comics, bought at a flea market at a stand where the guy charged a quarter for whatever was on the table. This, Jon Sable: Freelance and the Kitty's Fairytale issue of X-Men... Unholy and addictive. Oh, the memories!

Amethyst. I was beginning to think everyone had forgotten her. A manga version would be great or even a nice collected manga size version of the original mini-series. Hated the way they ended the follow-up series, though. Blech. Yea! Amethyst. I was beginning to think everyone had forgotten her.
