How could he not be aware of this classic? You know Alan Moore was
featured in a Simpsons episode? You know Brad Bird was creative
consultant to the Simpsons? No, I don't know if the episode is from
before or after he left, what I do know is:
* a super-hero world where heroes are banned is by itself a very
non-conventional plot for a super-hero story (at least until Watchmen
got it done)
* the plot is kicked off when an older hero goes missing (and is found
to be dead)
* the villain threatens the world with a fake attack so that he can be
"heroic"
* the threat is a huge, monocular monster with tentacles
* the monster was raised in a remote Island
* the dead hero was killed because of what the plans he uncovered in the
Island
* cape is bad for your health
If that's not enough for a link, I'll eat my underwear...
