My most recent submission for Gimmick or Good? over at the Comics Should Be Good blog is a bit of a deeper cut. Crazyman #1, which was published by Continuity Comics (founded by Neal Adams) is die-cut into the shape of a man’s profile. Let me be clear here: every page has the same die-cut effect. Those of you who follow these columns know the drill. Was Crazyman #1 a gimmick, or was it good?
