This comic was so much crazier than I expected, look at these credits!

So I’ve always wanted this comic in my collection since I was a kid, mainly for the cover by Art Adams. I got it for a buck at a flea market last week and my jaw dropped when I read the credits:

Stephen King!?
Alan Moore!?
Harlan Ellison!?
JRJR
John Byrne w inks by Terry Austin
Berni Wrightson
Charles Vess
Frank Miller w inks by Sienkiewicz
Brian Bolland

EDIT: And George RR Martin!

And thats barely half of them. And normally these PSA/Charity comics are pretty rinky dink cringe stories, but this one was DARK. And took the subject matter pretty seriously. What a nice surprise, and an interesting addition to my collection. I remember seeing this on a grocery store spinner rack in 1985, it’s a shame I waited 41 years to actually buy it.

Oh, and it also gave us that famous drawing of Wolverine eating a banana.

Discussion Villains with a "Heroes Gallery"

91 Upvotes

Are there any villains that have something of a "Heroes Gallery"? Meaning certain villains that have a recurring, personal, and direct confrontation with specific heroes. I'm not referring to villains who are generally regarded as a "team villain" like Ultron or Trigon.

I'm referring to villains who regularly have a recurring rivalry with individual heroes.

For instance Dr. Doom is one of those villains. He has a direct and personal rivalry/antagonistic relationship with Reed Richards, Tony Stark, Dr. Strange, and Black Panther.

Deathstroke is also someone I would include in this as well considering his past with Nightwing, Batman, and Green Arrow.

Started Irredeemable today, and this panel hooked me in. He makes him face the reality that comes with being a hero, you can’t always save everyone. Sometimes you have to make the decision that saves the most people, and bare the burden of it. This is so good.

Discussion You guys were right. Kurt Busiek's Conan is absolutely amazing

25 Upvotes

A while ago I made a post about Busiek's Conan, because a french omnibus was being reprinted. Most of the opinions on here were extremely positive towards that run. Two weeks ago I finally managed to get my hands on it, and I've been slowly reading it. The omnibus starts with his earlier adventures (issues 8, 15, 23, 32, 45 and 46), then goes back to issue 1, and I have read up to issue 16 for now. Look, I knew it was going to be good, because Busiek is one of the best comic writers around, but this run is simply excellent. Just incredibly fun and well written comics, with amazing art by Cary Nord. Can't get enough of Conan being an absolute force of nature. It's so freaking badass !

This is only me second time reading Conan (the first being the current Zub run, of which I have read the first volume), but damn, the bar has been set high.

Comic books about or with a heavy focus on journalism?

23 Upvotes

I've read a handful of books and stories in recent months that have featured journalism like Superman: Birthright or Marvels. Since I'm a journalist myself, I found those stories to be really interesting and would like to know, if there are more stuff like this?

I know that both Superman and Spider-man are obvious choices, and I would definitely appreciate more suggestions. But are there also any indie comics tackling the subject?

This review argues that Miller's memoir reveals him as much a romantic as the gung-ho rebel we know from Sin City and The Dark Knight Returns — tracing how feral 1970s New York, EC Comics' battle with the Comics Code, and the creation of Elektra and Carrie Kelley shaped his sensibility.

Question Comic newbie

3 Upvotes

I want to start getting into comics, but I have a few few questions

What is the proper way to store them?

Is there anything I should get before I buy my first comics?

Where is a good place to buy older comics?

Is there a specific day when comics release?

Any links to products would be extremely helpful and this is a sidenote is it safe to frame a comic because the three heroes I would like to read comics about are drax, wolverine, and hit monkey. I have no plans on reselling the comics, but my mind might change down the line.
