As expected, DC Comics's average and total comic-book unit sales were dropping again in October, in the wake of September's zero-issue stunt. To be fair, though, it's not a huge drop, and viewed over the last four months, the publisher's averages continue to look sturdy. Thanks to a new round of crossovers -- notably "Death of the Family" in the Batman line and "Rise of the Third Army" in the Green Lantern line -- and Annuals, as well as continually strong sales from the expanding line of "digital-first" compilation titles, the pertinent figures remain well within the spectrum that's been established following last year's relaunch.

So, just to recap where we left off last time: it looks like Alan Moore has based all the big hits of his career on ideas he stole from Robert Mayer’s 1977 novel Superfolks. Various people, including Grant Morrison, Kurt Busiek, Lance Parkin, Joseph Gualtieri, and even Robert Mayer himself, have claimed at one point or another that Moore based a lot of his superhero work on various aspects of the book, specifically Marvelman, Watchmen, Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?, and his proposal to DC Comics for the unpublished cross-company ‘event,’ Twilight of the Superheroes. But is any of this true, or might there be another explanation? To answer that, I’m going to go through the individual allegations or suggestions, and deal them one by one, to see how they hold up.
