I have some 80's and 90's comics like the adventurers,dragonking/force,weasel patrol, Argonauts,and poison elves but I missed this one interesting review.....

🙂

Nice!

Thanks for the great compliments, I appreciate it! The book is fantastic and all the artists involved are phenomenal!

When the main character does the drip - that's when the artists change

I did the first 4 pages including inside front cover. I also edited and put the whole book together. Most artists did 4 page blocks. A couple artists did more pages. Thanks for the wonderful review!

Wow! Nick Ruby's line style is dope! Cant find anything else by him online.

I was just searching after school specials on KZbin! And Saturday morning specials. Was definitely exciting when those came on

Happy Thanksgiving. 😀👍🦃

I got Power Pack #19.😀👍🦃

Cook book. It's weird, I can remember a lot of Lee and Liefeld imitators from this era, but very few McFarland imitators despite his popularity. I wonder if his style was harder to imitate.

Some really nice art in this and some cool sound effect lettering too from what I can see. I like the cover too

That really looks awesome! You definitely have some sculpting skills

His art seemed to be a little inspired from Paul Gulacy.

Nice find!

At 29:06 ...Tom Brevort calls it "the Arrow of Shame"

Linsner is one of best to ever pick up a pencil. His dawn only work is amazing. He was making fine art and poetry sell in the land of the cartoonist world amazing.

Looks very cool love the fish monsters. The secret to the watercolor is using top line watercolor paper hot press for smooth color graduation. It also depends on the watercolor you use. Daniel smith has smooth tones. Holbein is for strength and control. Just trying to help. I would say she is in the good girl category having her being attractive is fine play to your strengths. She's not in the bad girl realm .Just make her have some kindness and warmth should help. Just dont make her overpowered she can accept help to keep her stay human. No captain marvel stuff. The linework is nice you may want to keep it clean but very line weight more to make it pop and contrasting colors to add more depth. Keep up the good work.

Aw man, indy comics from the pre-internet era are something so special. I have so many cherished memories from the early 2000's of hunting out used book stores that might have longboxes and finding all these unknown treasures - passion projects by writers and artists who just wanted to tell their stories in ways only they could do. Wonky? Sure. But the spirit is strong.

Nice storytelling. Creating questions keeps the reader interested and wanting to read more. I am intrigued. Personally, I would stay away from over sexualizing her. Sireen sounds like an interesting character that could be more than a simple pin-up. That's just my thoughts though....

That ugly family add is Dan Clowes. He did that strip in cracked. That collection apparently never came out. Usually see it as an add on eternity comics for some reason

Never heard of this one

???

I have most copies and multiples of several if you want I will gift them to you.

I had this so many years ago. The jademan kung fu special were first handed out at comic book conventions to introduce Jademan comics to the public, i saw pictures from those events, Tony wong and his crew were there signing copies and talking about his approach to comic books. I had it so many years ago, i lost my collection over the years. I still have some copies but after Jademan stopped in march 1993 , they never returned like they said they were going to and it was because Tony wong was imprisoned 5 years for fraud. But then in 1999 Image comics helped release a few titles which unfortunately didn't work out between Image and Tony wong. But then we got a lucky break in 2003 and publisher Comicsone released a good number of titles and this time they were in 120 page graphic novel format which i loved but again unfortunately for some reason in 2005, the company went bust and i lost out again. It's been 20 years since and nothing has been translated. I actually lost hope for a time but with the introduction of A.I. and things like chat gpt and manga translators, things have gotten so much better that you can actually translate images (nuances and meanings are okay but still need some work) and now that comic books are moving towards being read online these days instead , i see that these comics will be possible to translate into any language you want eventually and then perhaps one day we can enjoy them once again.

The art is very nice and pops even looking at it from my computer screen viewing your review

This is a Remarkable Find. Reminds me of Neuromancer and Shadowrun

Definitely prefer the color version. I enjoy b&w generally but the color in Swamp Thing is so great. I don't understand removing it.

Hey, I just discovered your channel. I'm taking a lookg at some of your videos. Great work! I'm subscribing.

I picked this up a few years ago. The other cartoonists credited have shorter black and white stories or art in the back. That Mott guy did some art for a band I was friends with in the 90s so it was cool to see some of his comics.

I didn't know, there was the comic book of FRIGHT NIGHT. I still have that original 1985 movie on DVD. And i also played the computer game of that movie on my Amiga 500. "WELCOME TO FRIGHT NIGHT!" "Oh, You're so cool, Brewster!" 😹👍

It is then current Dick Ayers art he did a few years work there

This is a great looking book

born again was 86 im pretty sure without looking it up anyway

yeah it really is a rather ugly cover for a rather good comic. i did however get the psychological theme from it. i just think it couldve been done much better.

I grew up with Oriental Heroes (called Tiger Wong in Indonesia). Also force of Buddha’s Palm (Tapak Sakti).

Last I knew, Bill Black is very much alive, but not very active in AC Comics anymore.

Some points on Hero Sand, hold the mayo: Never have a flying car with wheels still on it - if it's flying, what are the wheels for? I've noticed more than a few UG (or alternative) comics doing this. The more photorealistic the art is, the worse the plotting and dialogue is. Cars in particular are boring, and this thing has like dozens of sleep-inducing car ad-looking panels in it. Terrible trope dept.: Gorgeous model girls are usually found crammed into lousy neighborhoods. Keep dreaming, guys. And please create your own characters - don't rip off Plastic Man or Nick Fury.

Vince Locke is Awesome! Check out A History Of Violence if you haven't already. Great stuff!

That was a GREAT STORY the character is Victor a Superman like character that started with the Guardsman during the Golden Age era and how he witness the decline of superheroes morals thru the years. I wish they completed the story.

Thank you for sharing!

The art is excellent. Bought them when they came out. Im way old..63.

Fancy free

What's up with your knife ? Are you in ok

There’s a pretty good documentary on Bill Black called strange luck. It’s on KZbin

Thats fucken sick

Looks amazing ! I love Leo's art style, very dynamic and detailed. Kind of reminds me of old skool Jae Lee without hiding most of the detail in shadows. Is that printed on news print? Love the old skool colouring too! would also look great in just B&W. The foldout insert is really cool, i dig turning pages for double splashes too! Killer comic!!!

Holy cow Alex I can't thank you enough for such an amazing and truly insightful review. I actually was a speed metal musician in the nineties. And seriously considered trying to get my old buddies to put a few songs on a CD for me to add along with the comic but the lageistics just didn't come together. 😂 nut you never know.

I really like that old school airbrush look
