Show and Tell 10: Ed Bought Some Comics

[@cookiemadison8529]

I live in New Zealand, and it is extremely difficult to find books like this. Digging through long boxes here usually gets you old Gold Key tv show adaptations and maybe some 80s Archie...fun maybe, but nothing that gets your blood pumping. Watching these pulls makes me jealous and a little homesick.

[@skrimshander]

Ed Piskor you would be a blast to meet up at a comic shop. Go Buccos!

[@theas780]

Same in Australia

[@samovarandlime]

In NZ you can occasionally find Illicit merch with illustrations by Martin Eamon though

[@somebodysomeone8213]

Ed Piskor is the consummate comic fan! Love this guy!

[@comicKkrakK]

Fantastic haul Ed. Thanks for sharing

[@wdparrish]

Man, I don't know how you guys keep pumping out such quality content at such a steady pace but I am impressed and excited every time a new video comes out. Thank you guys for taking time out of your schedules to do these. I hope to meet you and shake your hand next time you are in the Seattle area! ^_^

I find myself jotting down multiple comics to read watching this channel. Once I can get back to buying comics, the hunt will definitely be on.

[@apexcomix3200]

I love your finds, Ed. My marching orders are to create and read more comics. It makes me want to do some quarter comic shopping.

[@artmonkeys]

Good haul, Ed! Takes me back to my days discovering the mid-80s comics I loved. Vigil, Sim, Eastman, Cooper, Chaykin, Hernandez Bros were all so weird and energetic differences from my early 70s comics reading. Outlaw days indeed compared to my earlier Marvel daze.

[@RichardFriendartist]

those were great pulls. watched the full video and really enjoyed seeing not only how adventurous you were with your choices but your knowledge of all the different books and genres.

[@glenkamo]

Roachmill was one of my favourites! Gone too soon!

[@peterkaszor4118]

ED. Great haul. Please put Concrete high on your read list. A terrific story and the Chadwick's art/story-telling is exceptional.. cheers..

[@wdparrish]

Second this!

[@robertjacques6812]

Great find on those domu issues

[@coalhalo]

A great haul with some real gems. Really stirs up some old memories

[@PunkerMike]

Nice come ups!! Getting the itch to go digging.

[@diablohashcraft8040]

This shows that there is great stuff at your LCS besides new variants of the week. Thanks for posting!

[@russworks2882]

One odd thing about that Daredevil/Claw reprint is the inking is by C.C. Beck. I'm guessing they were working from the original comic, and Beck traced over photocopies to make a crisp piece to shoot from. It works really well; in some ways looks more energetic than Cole's early inking.

[@zls72]

Can't wait for the Deadline episode - Tank GIrl is cool but Wired World by Phillip Bond is my favourite. I loved the mix of music journalism plus comics when I was buying it in newsagents in the early 90's.

[@querldox]

both magical beatdown issues were delightful! and violent! loved it

[@whoffkne]

In the dollar bin last week I found an issue of Splatter #3 which was just amazing and featured a Dave Cooper 1-pager story.

[@traie1970]

Incredible haul, definitely hope you do more videos like this

[@davidc1664]

Man I dug Glamourpuss. I think it gets much better as it goes along and Sim figures out how to do the book. The Alex Raymond stuff is fascinating.

[@antgto]

Marshal Law 👌 I always dig when that book gets any love. That Hellraiser crossover is part 1 of 2, and Super Babylon is the follow-up to Hateful Dead. Since nowhere in Super Babylon does it note being the 2nd part of a story, I was very confused when I first read it way back in the day.

[@itszackempire]

Damn! What a haul! I would love to have come across any of that stuff. Alot of those weird black and white boom comics are so great cause you can just tell they were labors of love.

[@madbug1965]

I really enjoyed those Kelly Jones Chrome issues. Too bad it was only three issues.

[@peterwoodhouse4314]

Maxwell The Magic Cat was published for years in Alan Moore's local newspaper in Northamptonshire! The Northants Post?

[@robs6952]

Indeed it was! Otherwise a standard free paper. Sadly he finished ten years before it was delivered to my house (and never read) when I moved to the county 😕

[@radmango__]

Awesome video! Specially when you show Comics Underground Japan. Would be awesome to have an episode (or a couple) dedicated to Garo and the Gekiga movement.

[@robertwalton7565]

Yay, Pork Knight!

[@Cerebus92]

Pork Knight is by Rob Walton, a Canadian cartoonist living in Toronto. He did a really good graphic novel called Ragmop. Interesting style, think Will Eisner meets Hanna-Barbera.

[@leestevenson80]

Was hoping at some point to see you focus on O’Neill especially on his Marshal Law work, I’m not as hopeful now. I feel at this period of super hero overkill, now is the time for Marshall Law to be brought back into the fray, guns blazing!

[@keithwentzell5167]

Sky Masters is the Kirby & Wood book you're thinking of

[@capearce81]

Man it’s so funny that you fellas are going to have look at all those bad girls books.

[@CartoonistKayfabe]

It won't be much of a look but it must be acknowledged.

[@landowalker5479]

That was such an embarrassing era, it forced me to give up on comics for a few years in my youth.

[@capearce81]

@@landowalker5479 Yup, cosigned on this.

[@xcornmuffinx]

I used to love Marshall Law when it was coming out. Except for those Marshall Law vs. Pinhead issues, there is a collection of all the comics in a large book. Interesting that in the Shuriken book that the artist (or letterer?) used Japanese sound effects in one part but not in others. It was like one panel had a sound effect in Japanese.

[@jack_yo]

Damn, sweet haul.👍

[@retrovideos1445]

Mark Martin (gnatrat) on that sponge suit turtles parody- that’s hilarious stuff

[@richdannys2906]

I gotta find a copy of that Burns sketchbook.. haven't seen that one!

[@CartoonistKayfabe]

Copacetic Comics is holding weight as we speak. Jump on it quick. copaceticcomics.com/comics/incubation

[@richdannys2906]

@@CartoonistKayfabe I was gonna phone them, right away.. but they closed before I could. Tomorrow, for sure!

[@NFLDude56]

I've been reading Scud for the past few weeks, and it took 8 or 9 issues before I got into it.

[@RobertNorton12013]

“A salty bitch.” Oh man thats my new favorite phrase Thank you sir

[@sublow]

gerbils look crazy

[@doomedhuh]

you should do this live as a livestream

[@OscarVG17]

I thought Kabuki was ok to good. My first impression wasn't the first issues published, but I got those later on to fill the collection. I would say the ones you bought are ok and show some promise, despite being very clearly early David Mack in both art and writing. The series lost me at the later stage (late Image, early Marvel output) as it felt more like David Mack artbooks as opposed to an actual comic book with (good) writing. Not a bad buy for a buck each though.

[@TommyTwoSocks]

cool swag

[@russworks2882]

As far as bad girl art comics go, this thing seems like a real throwback , a violent exploitation comic with a nude homicidal female fighting the German war machine. (NSFW btw): wargyrl.webcomic.ws/comics/
