Pictopia II is a fanfiction by Dark Mark based on Alan Moore and Donald Simpson's story In Pictopia, published in Fantagraphics Books magazine Anything Goes #2 (1986).Many decades ago, Nocturno, Smash, and Phantasm were popular heroes whose thrilling adventures were followed by millions. But their comic strips were replaced by bloodier, sexier, and more colorful comic books and the trio was gradually forgotten. After their strips were cancelled, they were dumped in Pictopia, a decaying, colorless pocket dimension that serves as a retirement home for forgotten superheroes.So, what do they do when they are told the flashier superheroes have gone missing? Jumping into action and helping their pals, of course.The fanfiction used to be available in Dark Mark's Marvel Fanfiction site, but some links seem to be broken and cannot be retrieved by the Wayback Machine. Fortunately, it is still stored in this archive. Links to individual chapters: part one, part two and part three. | |

Experienced Protagonist: When Judge Doome engages in a fistfight with Phantasm it soon becomes obvious he is painfully outmatched. After all, Phantasm had been fighting all kind of people long before Doome was created. | |

No Fourth Wall | |
| Pictopia II (Fanfic) / int_3b4f620a | comment |
No Fourth Wall: The characters are completely aware that they are fictional characters. In the opening paragraphs, Nocturno are pondering how their world is decaying because their gradual popularity' loss led to their strips' cancellation. A shortly later, Wonky states nobody can help them rescue the disappeared heroes because there is "only supporting characters and crowd-sceners left anymore". | |

Bystander Syndrome: In the backstory, Nocturno was visiting Red Bumsteer, a friend's wife who had fallen on hard times, when Judge Doome and the Regulator came to arrest Red for prostitution. Nocturno did absolutely nothing when they shoved him aside and took Red away from her children, and he never forgave himself for it. | |

Expy: Nocturno the Necromancer and Phantasm are Mandrake the Magician and The Phantom expies, respectively. Flexible Flynn and Wonky Whizz are Pictopia's version of Plastic Man and Woozy Winks. Judge Doome, a blood-thirsty gun-toting vigilante whose motto is "The Jury is ME!" is based on Judge Dredd. Red Bumsteer is Blondie Bumstead. | |
