comment
At the end of The '90s, Alan Moore founded America's Best Comics, an attempt to put a new twist on superhero comics from well before The Dark Age of Comic Books. Tomorrow Stories, especially so. Where Tom Strong started with mostly issue-length adventures, and Promethea had a mystical adventure arc that eventually went cosmic, Tomorrow Stories was an Anthology Comic that brought back the 6-10 page stories common in The Golden Age of Comic Books. It was a superhero Anthology Comic long after the fashion had passed.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Each issue comprised four stories, with five features introduced overall. These were: Greyshirt: A former low-level gangster with an armored shirt, a badass kerchief, and a cool cane. Cobweb: A sexy vigilante who worked closely with her chauffeur/sidekick Clarice. First American: An ineffectual Jerk Ass who happened to have a costume and a resentful sidekick in U.S. Angel. Jack B. Quick: A boy scientist given to experiments like putting buttered toast on a cat's back. (You see, toast always lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet.) Never one to let morality get in the way of Science!, to the despair of his folksy parents. Splash Brannigan: A living blob of four-dimensional ink. Quite friendly.

Ax-Crazy: Something of a staple in Greyshirt's Rogues Gallery, most noticeably Johnny Apollo and Lapis Lazuli.

Ascended Extra: Nearly every supposedly one-shot character from the Tomorrow Stories Greyshirt segments reappear in Indigo Sunset, either for a cameo or for the reveal that they were more heavily involved in Greyshirt's life than they first appeared to be.

Be Careful What You Wish For: Ella Bly sold Franky Lafayette out to Johnny Apollo in exchange for help in launching her music career. Well, years later she's now a famous blues singer and pianist, but her face was badly burned by Johnny with an iron.
