Yep, it looked like it. I stopped buying comics around that point due to my financial situation, but I remember that style of artwork around that time. The early 90's were angsty as hell.

Theresa will like that.

Awww, thanks for that, LightYears! It's great that Anne said that about Hugh. Nice to know someone in Hollywood sees this.

I do like it, sum! It would make a great title! Thanks for posting, Lightyears! I agree, Alex!

Here is Anne's entire write up on Hugh in TIME magazine:
Hugh Jackman Is on the 2018 TIME 100 List | Time.com

"I’ve never stopped and analyzed why I love Hugh Jackman. For me, it’s like loving chocolate or puppies or rainbows: effortless. Yes, he can light up a room with a laugh or a smile; yes, he is a generous, consummate professional; and yes, he has that gift for entertaining that takes all your cares away. (See the leggy The Greatest Showman. That is both a reference and a recommendation.) Yes, yes, and yet it’s easy to forget that why we allow ourselves the pleasure of going on visual and aural journeys with him is his mammoth, undeniable talent. In other words, he is so likable, sometimes we overlook that he is among the finest, most committed actors of his generation. All that, and I have personally discovered him to be genuinely, truly, deeply egoless. And delicious, cuddly and magical (chocolate, puppies, rainbows). I’m back where I started; analysis isn’t helping. Let’s just marvel at this wonder and be grateful we snagged a ticket."

Thank for that, Theresa. Wow, Anne really likes him. My favorite Anne Hathaway role was as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises. She was great there. Bst Catwoman ever. Really added to the film.

high praise!

PhoenixRising

Thanks for that quote, Theresa! That's awesome! Anne gets so much hate from some people that is totally unfair, and then she goes and compliments Hugh like that. And "leggy"?

You’re welcome guys! sum and Alex, I agree with what you guys said about Anne. It’s too bad she gets so much hate. Anne has always given Hugh the highest praise. He was even the first person she thanked in her speech when she won the Oscar for Les Miserables. She thinks the world of him and has always given him the highest forms of praise. It’s nice that TIME magazine selected her as the person to write about him. Alex, “leggy” is a commonly used term by box office analysts and journalists that means a film lasted a long time in cinemas. The Greatest Showman had a record breaking box office run and was in cinemas for over 4 months, which is quite a feat. One of the records it set was for “leggiest” film since Titanic, indicating it had excellent word of mouth. So that is what Anne was referring to.

I'd prefer to forget about Titanic.

shame of the Irish?

PhoenixRising

Ahh, that's what leggy means, that the movie has legs. Thanks, Theresa! And I forgot that she thanked Hugh when she won the Oscar. Oh, and yeah, don't mention Titanic to sum1. And don't remind him that it was built by Irishmen. But hey, Titanic's sister ship, the Olympic, never sank, so that's something.

It's the film I'm trying to forget.

The Titanic may have been built in Ireland, but it was built by British colonialist industry in Ireland when Ireland was still ruled by Britain. Shame of the British.

PhoenixRising

Oh, Ireland was still ruled by the British back then? I wasn't sure when they officially broke off from Great Britain, except for the north.
