One of my favorite parts was the interweaving of the shipwreck tale. I was surprised that he only bludgeoned his wife, but didn't unknowingly kill her. I wondered why Moore made that choice. Any thoughts?

Bald-faced guess: Homage to the CCA era.

Fun fact: Bill Gaines, publisher of MAD Magazine, used to be a ginormous comics publisher. He actually testified before congress about how comics weren't going to destroy civilization.

Highly recommended.
