'huge, queer and tawdry' but 'much admired by the public'

Yeah, but even chronologically, why start with Viz rather than 2000AD? The punk parallels work fine if you have the latter as the Clash, then the former as the second generation shouty/comedy punks. And at times it was flat-out wrong, like referring to the Watchmen as a team name. Or indeed, the spelling of Ezquerra! But yes, great to see him, Gibbons, Moore et al.
