User blog:Brian Kurtz/So long, Simon. Thanks for 18 great issues!

It's always sad when a good book comes to an end. Simon Dark was one of the more unique titles to come out in the past few years, and it was a perfect blend of style, mystique and artistry. It had all of the macabre elements one would expect to find in a Vertigo title, but was in fact, nestled right in the heart of good ole, Gotham City. Simon was kind of like the bastard child of Frankentein, Edward Scissorhands and Raggedy Andy, but never let it be said that he was a neglected child. Steve Niles and Scott Hampton nurtured and evolved the strange little patchwork boy and created an extremely engaging character, supporting cast and title. So again, thanks for the memories, Steve and Scott. And so long, Simon Dark. We hardly knew ye. --Brian Kurtz 02:52, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
