 Weapon X: The Draft - Sauron
Sauron is duly sent off on "can't win" missions as the Director torments him for no discernible reason.
There are some genuinely funny moments as Sauron attempts to achieve the impossible, and Karl Kerschl's artwork is very pleasant on the eye.
The mutant that Sauron succeeds in recruiting is quite a likeable character, although he rounds off the story with a seriously melodramatic closing scene.

 The Sauron Strategies: Footsteps into Failure
To that Sauron would not consent, and he remained in Middle-earth when Eonwe returned into the West.
It is unlikely that Sauron "slept" in the sense that the Balrog seems to have curled up under a conveniently huge mountain and dreamed of past debaucheries for the next several thousand years.
More likely, Sauron retreated into far eastern Middle-earth and there he could have done anything, such as plant a garden or found a monastery to teach ancient Elves, Dwarves, and Men the Way of Peace.

 fan.TheOneRing.net™ | Writings | Essays & Reviews | Of the Nature of Sauron and The Rings of Power
Sauron was the chief lieutenant of Morgoth throughout the First Age.
Chosen by Sauron for their potential for evil, positions of power and susceptibility to his influence, the bearers of the Nine succumbed entirely and became his most dreadful servants.
Were Sauron to recover the One, he would be restored to a peak of power he possessed in the ages before he transferred a portion of himself into it.

 Sauron
Sauron flew all the way to his father's cabin in Tierra del Fuego, and then reverted to human form, having expended the mutant energies he had absorbed.
In his current condition Sauron appears to be incapable of reverting to human form, even when his energies are depleted.
Special limitations: Sauron has to absorb the life energies from living victims to sustain his life; he would normally revert to human form if he did not regularly absorb the life force from superhuman beings, although this is not currently the case.

 The Barrow-Downs - Middle-Earth FAQs and Misconceptions.
I have always had the idea that Sauron didn't have physical form in the War of the Ring.
It is Sauron himself who has taken shape again and now grows apace; and he is gathering again all the Rings to his hand; and he seeks ever for news of the One, and of the Heirs of Isildur, if they live still on earth.'
Also the contest took place at a distance, and in a tale which allows the incarnation of great spirits in a physical and destructible form their power must be far greater when actually physically present.

 Hypnosis in Media: "X-Men" (Cartoon)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Annalee, one of the Morlocks, a group of mutants dwelling in the subways and sewers of New York, uses her telepathic powers to induce an irresistible desire for sleep in a crowd which includes two of the X-Men, Scott Summers (Cyclops) and Jean Grey.
They are forced to remain in hiding as Sauron swoops down upon a fleeing woman and uses his hypnotic gaze to render her docile and obedient.
Sauron { and yes, he named himself for the dark lord Sauron from Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" books } is a mutant in the form of a humanoid pterodactyl, who must feed off of the life energy of mutants to survive: without this energy, he reverts to his powerless (and repentant) human form.

 Jack-in-the-Box (Weapon X character)
When Sauron came out of his fugue he found that he had flown all the way to Sydney, Australia, the location of the mutant serving as his "plan B": Jack.
After knocking off one of Jack's hands, Sauron finally calmed Jack by explaining to him that the apparent attack was merely a recruitment mission for Weapon X. Excited to be joining up with a super-team "like the Great Lakes Avengers," Jack went to a local bank to tell his girlfriend Meredith goodbye.
Sauron, who was hardly in his right mind throughout the entire Weapon X series, was confused by this request, and began to strike at Jack angrily.

It'd be worth referring to EC comics (subject of senate hearings in the 50s) and Mad Magazine, which together gave birth to the freakiness & subcultural stuff.
Comics, Comix, and Graphic Novels -- A History of Comic Art by Roger Sabin is one such awesome book, filled with a centuries worth of comic art.
Also, the central theme (new writer of what is in effect Wonder Woman comes to the not insupportable conclusion that she is a lesbian) is quite an interesting one.

 Collecting Dinosaur Comics
One of the more interesting areas of comic collecting is that of collecting dinosaur comics.
The first, longest running and perhaps best of the dinosaur story group would have to be the original Turok,Son of Stone which ran 130 issues from 1954-1982.
Turok wasn’t the first comic to have a dinosaur cover or a dinosaur story, but it was the first continuing series to feature dinosaur covers and stories.

 GameSpy:
A litany of horrors poured forth: Orcs, Trolls, riders from the eastern lands, the fl hands of hatred sent by Sauron to squeeze the life from the forces of light where they stood.
Because many miles away, across a desolate land, two noble hobbits had scaled to the peak of Mount Doom and were prepared to cast the source of Sauron's power within its fiery depths.
The great malevolent eye of Sauron had to be distracted during this, their greatest hour of hope and fear!

As heartfelt as the compliments were, the incredible gesture from D.C. comics was even greater.
In stark contrast, D.C. Comics has no such policy and though Jack did far less work for D.C. Comics, royalties are regularly paid to Jack Kirby’s family and will continue.
No such repressive tactics exist at D.C. These checks, for Batman, not only to Neal, of course, stand out in sharp contrast to the case of Dave Cockrum at Marvel who clearly and admittedly created 5 X-Men characters but is only being paid royalties for one.

In order to prevent the ring's erstwhile owner, the dark lord Sauron, from reclaiming the ring and taking over Middle-earth, a motley band of comrades set out to destroy it in the fires of Mount Doom, where it was forged.
Along the way, they wage battle with monsters, demons, and Sauron's evil minions, all brought to life by spectacular digital technology.
While Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin) journey to the dreaded Mordor, Merry (Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin (Billy Boyd) are held captive by orcs, and Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Legolas (Orlando Bloom), and Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) search for their abducted companions.

Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada said that the move was necessitated by a shift in storytelling methods, away from the month-to-month style, and more in tune with trade paperback collections of story arcs for the bookstore trade.
It was a different time, and the writing of comics was different.
As an example, Quesada cited splash pages as the opening page (to hook readers who would casually flip through the books at the newsstand), weave subplots through the series that would ultimately go on for years, and end each issue with a big cliffhanger, designed to bring readers back the following month.
