10. The funny thing is I happened upon a column from a DC editor in 1984....
It was a "...Meanwhile" by Dick Giordano. I saw it ages ago when I was going through some old "Legion of Superheroes" comics. He was writing about how just that morning he had heard two great pitches for stories he thought were going to revolutionize the art form, and commissioned them both.
One was "an Alan Moore story involving the old Charlton characters" and the other was "the ultimate Batman story" from Frank Miller.
"Watchmen" and "The Dark Knight Returns" were commissioned the same day. I found that fascinating.
