1001 Emerald Nights
Apr. 8th, 2008 03:38 pmI updated the superheroes in drag post with this little gem, and figured I could give some context. Very pretty context.
1001 Emerald Nights is an Elseworlds that focuses on a figurehead sultan (a silly Kyle that learns to be a man and take back his throne) but it's the story told to him, about Al Jhor Dan, that I liked the most about it.
Not only gorgeous, but full of nifty appearances from the Corps; including Kilowog the genie. :D
( ...And they ruled for many years wisely and well. )
The thugs tear themselves apart over Hal in a dress. Heh.
As far as Elseworlds stories go, this is not only the prettiest, but very entertaining and full of spiffy nods to canon. They even make reference to all of Kyle's women going to an early grave, all while keeping the feel of a legend in the vein of Arabian Nights. Much love.
