I was re-boxing comics yesterday and when it came to the two big Indie Comics boxes I enjoyed a little nostalgia. In some cases I asked myself "Where are some of these people now?
Strong Girl was published in 2007 and is in English but the creators are Finnish. Absolutely no information on who or what this came from (possibly sent by Pekka Manninen?)
I have a few signed issues of R M Heske's series from 2008
I have signed copies of Joe Martino's 4 issue Shadowflame (2007) -great series with great art. I have other Arcana books but whether they still exist or not I have no idea (Joe was interviewed on the old CBO which is gone now but his interview is in The Hooper Interviews of course)
Adventurers is from 1988 while Meta Cops i 1993 from Gauntlet Comics
One of the planned projects for CBO, when I thought comic fans might actually support the site, was to look at these books and I know some even the creators no longer have copies of. Sad, but no one is interested so it stays in my head. Maybe a book one day -who knows.
And, yes, I have a lot of Indie comics -hundreds. Mostly purchased or in some cases I received them when promoting comics in the 1980s/early 1990s.
A review coming up early next week and maybe the views will beat those for the music videos I've posted -stats on those are higher than for new comic related posts!
cool comics from the past. I wish I could have read them. Ah well .... my choice.TTFN.
ReplyDeleteAh, some could be hit or miss but were fun. Today we have great comics like...ooh, to of my head...Black Tower!
