>tsk< typical Morrison. I bet Alan Moore would have linked the subway with Billy Batson. School for Sidekicks indeed.
Cosmic Awareness + Youth + Morrison. But does it = Kid Eternity. Let's find out.

By odd coincidence I just typed "Kamandi" in something else I was doing.
I'm not getting a link with drugs, cosmic awareness or subways. But as I say "Synchonicity. It's not just a Police album."
He does tick the youth box.

And...Thoth has guessed the right answer! It is Kamandi!
The key signifiers are the addict's long blonde hair (which also allows Frank Quitely the artistic license to make him resemble the infamously debauched Iggy Pop,) and his line, "Sometimes I feel so low, like I'm the last boy on Earth."
Over to you, Thoth.

Crumbs. Not much of a link there, Mr Morrison. Could just as easily have been:-
"When I shoot this Hyperjuice, I feel like I could run the world. But who is running me?" - The Prez. "It's not just the drugs. I feel like I can see the future racing towards us and that I'm the first boy on this new earth." - Anthro. "Since Alan Moore stopped writing super heroes, I'm just a lost, mixed up, patchwork kid." - Brother Power.
The Fact is... that there will be a new question soon.
Or is it that The Question that will be arriving soon will be a fact...
... faceless heroes are so samey...
Oh hi nurse! Is it time for my Rorschach tests already?

Got it in one Paladin!
Dragon was created by Denny O'Neil in a novel, brought over into comics, and later into the Question, which he was writer of.

I read the latter part of that run back in the day. The first character I thought of was Tot (short for Aristotle), who was a friend/ally/servant?, but the memories were vague--even the name, which just occurred to me. Then, I thought I remembered Richard Dragon being in the series and guessed him. {I think maybe he also trained Black Canary or the Huntress?)
Anyhow, I'll try to think up a trivia question soon-ish.....

It's a dunno here. Sounds like it would be either a horror comic or something from a UK police/detective book. Slaughter of the Yard.

Wild shot here but does she have anything to do with the Marvel character Bloodstone? A daughter perhaps?

Ah, I'm glad stile mentioned Bloodstone. That was what I had waaay back in my brain cell, but I couldn't recall the name.
I'm buying Edgar Allan Poe's Snifter of Blood or whatever it now is, and Basilisk and it's not a character in those. I read Mountainhead last year, and not in that...
the Alien relaunch that I might get the trade of?

Was Erica the name of the woman/love interest in the first appearance of the Swamp Thing (House of Mystery?) before it was reused and retold a while later?

This has nothing to do with any company's intellectual property.
