However, Greyshirt only appears momentarily in each to dash in and foil the crime, the real focus is on Frankie Lafayette and Johnny Apollo, who we first meet as kids, and then follow as they grow older and more criminally enterprising.
The book suffers from a lack of focus, as it veers back and forth between the two thug kids, the previous generation of hood, the sci-fi/horror monster, a plotline concerning a movie being made from the two kids' lives, another involving a pop artist, and then later, a pair of suave thieves are introduced.
Greyshirt gets totally lost in the shuffle, as does any sense of coherency and maintenance of tone.

 Greyshirt: Indigo Sunset - PopMatters Comic Book Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Greyshirt is an expedition to comics' past in both structure and content.
Each issue of Greyshirt is pretty much self-contained like comics created "back in the day." Since newsstands bought comics directly from the publishers in bulk never knowing what they would receive week-to-week, they could never guarantee a customer that they would have a particular issue to sell.
Although the story is 10 pages long, Greyshirt is only depicted in three panels, and in one of those panels we only see his legs.

Unfortunately, it has little meat to offer, other than a silly ending that serves as a wink and nod to readers familiar with Greyshirt, so that they'll realize the character actually was in the story somewhere.

 Gay League - Cobweb
Many in Indigo City (which is also protected by the Shadow-like Greyshirt, whose adventures are somewhat more traditional that Cobweb's) believe that her career is "a cover for sex-kicks, or else a publicity stunt," but her efforts seem sincere enough.
Although one story claims that Cobweb first met Clarice when rescuing her from criminal circumstances, another depicts the two as having been children together, and in fact the rather flippant nature of "Tomorrow Stories" prevents any serious continuity from being established for most of the book's characters.
In the Greyshirt mini series, "Indigo Sunset" Cobweb and Greyshirt are shown to have a romantic/sexual relationship which happens to the knowledge of Cobweb's chauffeuse Clarice.

Is a greyshirt the same thing as saying, "We don't have room for you now, but we are willing to give up a slot in next year's signing class if you will wait." Or, in other words, "it would have really worked out better for us if you had graduated high school a year later."???
There's also a third reason a greyshirt may be considered - to space out players (classwise) at a particular position.

 The Continuity Pages: America's Best Comics
The main stories took place chronologically, telling of Greyshirt's life before he became Greyshirt, retelling his origin (previously shown in Tomorrow Stories), and telling a final tale in the present that connected with the others.
These tales often experimented with narrative perspective -- such as #3, which had a ghost narrating, or #4, which brilliantly was sung by a woman whose disfigurement was narrated in her song.
The secondary stories expanded Greyshirt's world and featured tales that were often inconsequential but funny or clever, most notably #2's incorporation of a surrogate for Pop Art's Roy Lichtenstein, allowing for brilliant mirroring between the tale's characters and the figures in the paintings.

In poche pagine (già, perchè l'antologico é diviso tra diversi personaggi), con meraviglia ci si immerge in una riedizione della letteratura pulp attraverso vertigini narrative inusuali per questo genere.
In Indigo sunset (miniserie di 6 numeri che verrà proposta in due volumi dalla Magic Press) c'è comunque un cambio di registro evidente nelle storie di Greyshirt, se non altro per la completa autonomia di Veitch, qui orfano di Moore.
Forse solo in apparenza, però, in quanto la raffinatezza tecnica nell' allestire, come in una pièce teatrale, una grande rappresentazione fatta di piccoli atti non è alla portata di molti altri autori.

For those (like me) who had some concern about the lack of offensive lineman in the class of 2007, more good news arrived this past week as Norfolk Catholic offensive lineman Aaron Schulte accepted a greyshirt offer at Nebraska.
Huff was the 14th-rated in-state player in 2004 and Schulte is the 9th-rated player this year.
Huff was a bit stronger coming out of high school, but with Schulte’s extra greyshirt year he could close the gap on Huff by the time he uses his first year of eligibility.
