I'm really not sure whether to shriek or shrug

Apparently, Dark Horse Comics is bringing back Gor. Why? (Well, the obvious answer is, "because it will sell books", but jeez, couldn't they have picked something else? I'm not a huge devotee of the Sword & Sorcery genre, but I do like some of it, and I can't help but feel certain that there are better authors' works that could have been rescued from the dusty backroom of the used book store than John Freaking Norman.)

I was originally surprised by this because I didn't think Dark Horse published things that would fall in the 'adult' section of the comic store. The discovery that they're just reprinting the books makes slightly more sense, but I agree that John Norman would not have been my first choice either.

My only concern is that with the amount that Dark Horse works with hollywood - both in comics based on movies and converting their books to movies - that there might be a Gor film in the future.
