The first segment of the X-Men cybercomic Twisted History was posted in January of 2000 on the Marvel website. The original cybercomics attempted from the late 90's through 2000 didn't really take off. The original line of Marvel cybercomics were removed after 2000 and many lost to the public. Marvel would attempt internet exclusive comics again on September 9, 2021 when Marvel Unlimited (the Marvel site for digital copies of many off their issues) started "Infinify Comics". Twisted History took place on and introduced Earth 24208. ("Twisted History", X-Men, Marvel Cybercomic Event)

I just found out that Daerick Gross Sr passed away a few months ago. He was the original artist for the Gambit: The Hunt for the Tomorrow Stone Cybercomic in the 1990's. Marvel took them down and has since lost them and now all that remains are random snippets that people happened to save. Even those who managed to "steal" a copy (me included) have lost their copy. It's like it was fate that the comic will never be available again. I heard that Mr. Gross had been asked a few times about it and he had mentioned possibly having pages somewhere, but they were never produced. I was hoping one day he would just find it in a dusty corner and it would be rereleased in print like they did The Vault comic. Now it seems all hope is lost. It was one of the last times we see beloved characters like Spat and Sekmeht Conoway, bigger characters in the Gambit mythos. This story kind of put a bow on their storylines with Gambit, tying up a few loose ends. I guess it is only right for Gambit's character to have a white whale.

Submission from @baroquebat: 

So while snooping around online, I managed to find a Japanese edition of The Vampire Armand and I have never seen anyone post the cover art, which is just gorgeous to me!

There seems to be an alternative cover as well:

I found them on Amazon.co.jp, here are the links in case anyone is eager to import!

First Cover

Second cover 

Also there seems to be other titles of Anne Rice’s work also in a similar retro shoujo style if you look at her author page on Amazon.jp. It’s a shame that it’s only for the covers, I’d love to read an Armand manga in this style, why does only IWTV to get one, you know?

^Above covers and text submitted by @baroquebat, thank you, much appreciated! I had never seen these before, they’re lovely <3

>I’d love to read an Armand manga in this style, why does only IWTV to get one, you know?

*nods* Me too! Of course we have our awful graphic novels of the 90′s but whatever…*

IWTV and TVL got the graphic novel treatment in the 90′s, I’m not sure how far up canon those went bc I didn’t really like them :P IWTV and TVL only, I think. It seems to me that the publishers are missing out on an incredible financial opportunity. I don’t know the backstory on how the IWTV graphic novel Claudia’s Story got made, but I would think that The Vampire Armand would have to go through a similar approval process.

We do have these, and CS is the best of them, IMO.

Claudia’s Story:
