Malignance:
Madman.
Tyrant.
MetaVillain.
Dire Ruler of the Mighty Colorado Holdfast, pursuing the unknown in the Malignanceship, an impossible ship of his Will and Imagination.
And then - Tragedy. Hurled into the unfathomable deep reaches of outer space.
Lost
Ayn Rand wrote some books (fiction) describing her philosophy including The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. The ideas are very compatible with Villainy, but like everything, you can't read too much into it. They're worth checking into though - each of us will find something different for the experience.

Also if you want to drop some money on it you could just read Steve Ditko's old "Mr. A" comics. That character was watered down as DC's "The Question" and then, of course, adapted to become Rorschach.
Excellent - One knows the Question was a source of inspiration for Rorschach, but did not know of Mr. A. This is going to be a delight to research. AND you provided a Link - thank you. There are a few books One has obligated myself to read. Atlas, and Ulysses - and both are crushing me. But One will persevere.
Like.

The Fountainhead is far more readable... and "Anthem."
ReplyDeleteIt's been years since I read any of her stuff. Personally I think that, like Nietzsche, she had some great idea and was also a bit whacked.
She's quotable.

Hmm... I see now I reversed the chronology of the Question and Mr. A...
ReplyDeleteAnyways.
Mega-Rad,

They're books! Books can't beat me!
Thank you as always,
