Note the use of the word "gritty." So that's where that came from.
Certainly one of the most effective "nu" comic ads of all time. "We're cooler than you deserve. We don't care if you buy us, but we both know you will... at a premium."

I am so glad that I don't hear the word gritty anymore to describe a comic book.
As I read somewhere recently, the problem is that what most folks think of as "gritty", usually actually is "gloomy" - which is NOT the same thing!
