But he apparently did a bizarre cover for it. I like the look of this Bat Boy thing. I read that his SOLO book for DC ran into some trouble before it was finally published. Batboy looks like SLOUCH WORLD, from that SOLO issue... Which, by the way, I thought was the best of the lot!

McCarthy should be doing much, much more in comics, if there was any justice in the universe. Team him up with Morrison and watch crazy shit happen. Or hell, seemed as though he and Milligan were a pretty bang-up team. I 'spect we wouldn't have Frank Quitely or had Seth Fisher without his influence; let's see him birth some more of those types.
