Public domain superheroes reborn in Tom Strong

Great piece on the pulp comic characters that appear in the new series of Alan
Moore's _League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Tom Strong_ (thanks, Zed) funnybook.
These characters, like The Terror and The Fighting Yank, are in the public
domain because their original publishers didn't register (or renew, it's
unclear) their copyright, which means that they've been granted a new lease on
life in _Tom Strong_. The article segues into a very good discussion of the
public domain. This was just Slashdotted, so it might be a little slow, but
it's worth the wait. Link[1] Discuss[2] (_via /.[3]_)

not-correct for most of my life for Americans to say we love our country.
That's a big bug. We're the world's greatest country and we know it. I love the
USA. It gave me life, an education, role models and a philosophy. And if you
think we're stupid or decadent, just try fucking with us."
