Did this comic ever continue?
I never read it or got into it, but I was curious to see how it fared and how it's still faring today.

I'd probably be interested to buy some issues of a TGAH comic book , if I could find some copies online for a reasonable price.

I might as well now that the hype has died down.  |

I think the comic suffered not so much from popularity (there was a lot of buzz on it) but from the economy a the time. A lot of the printing companies started requiring a minimum print that was much higher than readership.
"Sparks" also suffered a similar fate, being forced to stop after printing I believe the fourth edition, and ended up being finished as a graphic novel.
I have all three "GAH" comics - I think all signed by William Katt (In fact, pretty much all comics that were made by his company I have signed). They're rather good, but the best drawn ones are the first two. By the third, the quality was going down some and characters were starting to not quite look like their original counterparts.
As mentioned you can get them on ebay and maybe sometimes Amazon.

Yes, it's different. My point was how "GAH" may have suffered a similar fate in regard to production, not quality.
Personally, it irritates me because "GAH" was superior to the remake of "MASK" that was recently produced - it lasted 10 comics.

I don't know how accurate I am - no, but I do think it's quite likely. There were quite a few GOOD comics back during those years that were ruined due to the economic downturn.
Which is a shame - Connie I think was well-drawn as Pam in the two comics she appeared in. Ralph and Bill suffered more in line work as the comic progressed.

Well, of course, the naturally hot woman was drawn with an eye to detail. |

Haha, glad to hear that Connie was well-drawn, at least.
I may have to buy those comics---I'm quite curious.
I have two of the Firefly graphic novels, which are great---really nice artwork. Ever since, I've taken an interest in buying graphic novels and comics from other cult shows that I like.

It's a decent plot, and you do have to work around some of the updates to modern day, but worth it. I think you can get the comics on eBay and maybe even Amazon now. Mine were a gift from a friend, and all I think autographed by Katt. Same with my "Sparks" comics, which here include an ashcan copy (teaser comic) that was signed. Warning It does end on a cliffhanger of sorts but it is an open ended one - could be a lead in to four or concluding the series. |

Thanks for the heads up regarding the cliffhanger. I won't expect any ending to the story then. |
