''[[1963]]'' is a six-issue miniseries written by [[Alan Moore]] and published in 1993. Stylistically, it invokes [[The Silver Age of Comic Books]] (particularly, that of the early [[Marvel Comics]]), complete with spoof advertisements in the style of the day. This last item was repeated with a period-appropriate twist by Moore's later project with Kevin O'Neill, ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]''.
The series has never been finished as initially intended. It was meant to be followed by an 80-page annual, in which the ''1963'' characters are catapulted forward 30 years to meet with the [[The Dark Age of Comic Books|Dark Age]] characters of 1993.

And those are just the main heroes.

Line 25 ⟶ 27:

* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: The Fury tells one of the [[Mooks]] that he hates name callers, "especially a slope-browed, knuckle-dragging, garbage-brained name caller like you!"
