I often describe stories based on their premise instead of their conclusions because I don’t want to spoil things for new readers.

No. You’re wrong. The mass murderer is NOT called the “brain eater”. It is The Head. Thought you oughta know.

Thank you! It’s tough to always be on top of whatever the latest great book is, and I think it’s important to consider good works regardless of their age.

Beautiful series. Totally swallowed me up. Glad to see it still surfaces now and then. Great review (as usual)!

Drew: in your case, it was a book that created its own reality! How apropos!

Lyle: What an excellent description.

I remember being (sorta) spoiled on Enigma when I saw it on a gayleague list of LGBT characters… but the attempt to explain the book’s gay content made little sense to me until I managed to get my hands on the full story.

That got me to think of Enigma as a series so strange that it just couldn’t be spoiled.

I first found ENIGMA in the ten cent bin of a back issue sale. Or, I should say, I found the first seven issues. I looked around for years for the last issue, until I started to doubt if there was a last issue (it was before the Internet could tell you everything about comics). If you've read the book, you know that would be a perfect and terrible gag.
