Brubaker and Lark actually did one more Scene of the Crime story in one of the tribute book DC put out for 9/11. I think it’s in 9-11: September 11, 2001 (Stories to Remember, Volume 2). It’s only a few pages long, just like every other story in the book, but definitely worth a look.

I loved this series. I picked it up after devouring SLEEPER (after Don and Randy’s relentless pimping on the 4th rail, thanks guys!). I remember when I finished the trade I was deeply bummed that the series had not continued, but I kinda feel like the new CRIMINAL is continuing on in the same spirit. I’d love to see a return to the SCENE OF THE CRIME characters by Brubaker and Lark someday though.

I’ve always wanted to read this ever since reading Brubaker and Phillips on Sleeper. I especially do now that Criminal has given me a swift kick in the ass. Brubaker, Lark and Phillips on one book? That’s money went spent regardless of what the project is.

This ain’t rehash… it’s all new material, baby!

Given the number of reviews you’ve penned over the years, I find it hard to believe you didn’t have enough old material about Scene of the Crime to put together a quick review at any given time.

Well, yeah, Don, but there is the problem that I hadn’t written it at that point.

You guys should have posted this Bell Bottom Pick back when you originally posted your Criminal #1 podcast. You mentioned Scene of the Crime frequently, if memory serves.

Anything touched by Brubaker and Lark is gold. I gotta get this trade. With Lark’s fantastic portrayal of city streetside, gritty noir influence, my first exposure to Michael’s work was a Superman period piece involving the War of the Worlds, if I’m not mistaken (too early in the morn to rummage through my long boxes…which reminds me that I should be sleeping instead of typing). I enjoyed the shortlived Gotham Central esp. the first couple of arcs. I’m really lovin’ their take on DD. So, as I prep my laptop and turn off Letterman in the background…these thoughts before I slumber keep drumming in my head: “Gotta get the trade. Gotta get the trade”. ZZZZZzzzz (Randy, you’ve gotten in my head and wallet again).
