"The characters were not Kirby characters- he famously grumbled about getting the Losers assignment, as he told stories about winners- and in most of the stories our heroes are barely distinguishable from each other: Captain Storm is more monocular, Gunner is younger, Sarge is tougher and Johnny Cloud is, well, marginally more Navajo.
But it doesn't matter. They became four everymen, standing in for all of us. And it's rarely about them."
-Neil Gaiman, from his introduction to the Jack Kirby Losers omnibus.
