avatar ripped of my childhood! old school 2000ad knowlege required...

I've only just got around to seeing Avatar, after I'd read the above article linking it to Firekind. I have to say, it amazed me how many similar, superficial details the film has to the comic, but still manages to be entirely different.

Bascvailly, Avatar was a pile of beautiful, cliched, largely stupid exposition-heavy rubbish. Firekind was beautiful, weird, often confusing, genuinely intelligent, cliched goodness.

And of course, Friekind doesn't feature Avatars in it. But, another strip from the same era DOES - James Cameron plagiarised Mark Millar's Maniac 5!!

true, think the printing order didn't help at the time, or it did .... never completely sure.  But the artwork ...

and Mark Millar's work is seething with originality, depth and wit ....

Firekind, I think I have that as a Megazine[.

Perhaps, I can't read the whole thing from start to finish, without any interruptions.

Just found it and it's a EXXXrtreme edition.

A epic tale, filled with some interesting visuals concepts.

Why didn't notice the parallel.

Hmm, I'm going to have to dig out Progs 828-840 and have a re-read.
