this appears to be a dark fantasy film called Tenth Kingdom dubbed into Russian.

DICKS EVERYWHERE

I was involved in the creation of this, before aight-chan's /co/ board went completely alt-right troll board, so there's significantly more knowledge displayed of 80's independent titles than they should be able to take credit for.

How the fuck is Transmetropolitan "adventure" come on.

>Drama
>Serenity

HEH

...Oh shit someone cited Power Pack?! Any story behind that? I've read it & it's indeed pretty swell but it's definitely not something I'd have expected to make a list like this.

>>43924
I know, and Dreadstar ended up under "Superhero".

I dunno, personally I think they just like all the kids with no pants in Power Pack because that's all they ever talk about.

>>43833
Doesn't sound familiar but charity-bump.
Maybe try /co/?

I'll second Robert Crumb, Gilbert Sheridan and Spain Rodriguez, and add Vaughn Bode to that list.
Also, Fire Sale was a notable late entry, Larry Todd of Dr. Atomic had his house burn down, and was badly burned himself, and the underground came out for one last blast for a benefit comic for him.

Dirty Duck is awesome. Too bad i can't find too many f his comics.

thanks a lot MyksLxRl

Hang this up, and if you enter spiritual battle just remember the Pen is Mightier than the Sword

>>43889
Thats the sigil of St Stanislaus btw, died a martyr of the sword while the meaning in his life would be found in his writing

new made in the abyss
holy shit actual backstory

decided to read all of marvel's ROM the space knight.

up next finally getting to chaos comics backlog of lady death universe and connected titles aside from evil ernie

>>43877
What do you think of IDW's Rom in comparison?

>>43877

>decided to read all of marvel's ROM the space knight.

That's one of those "maybe someday" titles for me. I love Rick Jones but the fact they literally can't talk about it anymore makes the time-investment seem frivolous.

I thumbed through some of Infinity recently and apparently they blew up the entire Space Knight planet? Felt like Marvel's way of pretending they were never a thing.

>>43870
HOLY. FUCKO.
i need this in my life.
...also the books were age-appropriately vague about the sex part, it was pretty tasteful and fit the coming-of-age theme. also was the critical plot point of the last book. it SHOULD squeak by the editors but i can totally see it getting neutered.

>>43871

>Is it gonna be the movie blueballing all over again?

god i hope not. the money riding on a graphic novel should be low enough that they don't need to be hyper-paranoid about financial risk.

reminder homestuck is the greatest webcomic of all time

>Jodorowsky going "I shit on America, I shit on America!".

In the comments:

>Jodorowsky talking about US... haha, very naughty very naughty. I think he's talking about American superhero comics in fact, when he says US is shit.

Wishful fuckin' thinking there.

>>43801
Pretty much this.
Some asshole wrote a book full of falsehoods and pseudo-science (pic related). People took it seriously, congress hearings ensued and the Comics Code Authority was born.

Mainstream comics weren't allowed to mature in any way for decades and got stuck in their limited framework.

The only silver lining is that superhero comics stayed around and have a massive legacy today, they could have dissapeared if they weren't held back so much. Whether or not you like "capeshit" they're an institution and a big part of our pop-culture.

>>43819
The term itself is all the evidence you need: "underground". Comics that dealt with mature themes ala Metal Hurlant weren't sanctioned by the governments CCA and had to be self-published in small amounts the creator could hock to newsagents in person. They were an under-the-counter product you'd have to go out of your way to look for & ask about, so didn't have a wider influence on the medium. As far as the regular 99% of society who didn't know-or-care was concerned comics were exclusively wholesome all-ages superhero fare, since that's what was on the shelves in large quantities on a consistent basis. It took the CCA working itself into a shoot over Spider-Man, readers not particularly caring if an issue had their stamp or not, and DC/Marvel establishing off-shoot imprints like Epic/Vertigo without their consent for the underground comics ethos to become mainstream.
Come to think of it maybe "magazines" had entirely different standards and weren't beheld to the CCA's rules? It'd explain why Marvel had so many horror characters in that format in the 70s. They might've been squirming through loopholes around the censors as early as possible.

>>43874
Yes, magazines were exempt, that's why Mad became a magazine early on, to dodge the CCA. also how we had mature Conan and Dracula comics in the 70's, they were just bigger and had articles so they called them magazines. And we saw Beverly Switzler's tits in Howard The Duck.

>>43878
Turns out I have that page.
Feels hella weird to get explicit confirmation that Howard & Bev were fucking.

>>43854
ironic given that the years since 9/11 have shown evidence of human DEVOLUTION

>>43854
It's just a fun what-if story where familiar characters take on different roles. Superman is the most uninteresting main character in the story, Lex Luthor takes the center stage as the hero for once.

>Thanks to the death of communism, we have as a race reached new heights. Its just american masturbatory material really.

Not even sure what you're trying to say here, I guess you grew up during the red scare or something?

>>43857

Throwing in Alan Moore's Whatever Happened To The Man of Tomorrow, Max Landis' (trust me pls) American Alien and Joe Kelly's What's So Funny About Truth Justice & The American Way to the above list. Granted i haven't actually read the latter, just seen the animated adaptation, but it felt like a great Superman story thematically.
Come to think of it, guest appearances in solo issues of other series might make for some of the best Superman stories. Since they can treat him like the paragon he is. I recommend the final issue of All-Star Section 8. It's by notorious cape-hating edgemeister Garth Ennis, yet he apparently has a soft spot for Supes and consistently portrays him rather flatteringly whenever he gets the chance. Each issue features a different DC hero/trope that gets mercilessly riffed-on and satirized. Except for the final issue, where Supes shows up, and is portrayed with utmost serenity & respect.
Section 8 is a long-time-coming sequel to Ennis & his artist buddy's mid-90s DC comic Hitman, which also takes the everloving piss out of superheroes as a concept except for one Superman issue that's genuinely heartfelt. Recommend that too, tho I can't remember the issue number. Google "Ennis Hitman Superman". Also I recently found some kinda animal-charity inter-promotional one-shot DC did in the 90s written by Ennis' fellow infamous edgemancer Mark Millar. Who ALSO tells a really kind, uncharacteristic, inspirational Supes story. These 2 writers have written comics where pedophilic serial killers win and bulldogs rape small Indian boys yet there's something about this one character that brings out the best in them as people.

It was written by a Scott.

Is that Raven? Why she wearing a Nightwing lookin costume. Big Comics pls.

>>43862
Now that you mention it, that outfit does look an awful lot like Nightwing's. Unoriginal af

>>43855
Something about this seems like a comedy scenario.
Like, I can already clearly hear the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme in my head.

>>43873
Unfortunately the next issues of Titans so far just involves pointless drama. And with Raven being disconnected from her soul self and being reduced to a powerless/emotionless husk of her former self she can now replace Miss Martian as the useless reserve.

Time for M'gann to shine! HELLOOOOOO MEGAN!

>>43810
heh

"Heroes" has become a meaningless term in these fucking books lately.

I'm glad Raven is suffering now.

Superman vs Aliens. What a bunch of lame shit and he's too much of a pussy to actually fight them.

>>41987

Worst Comics I've read:
Marville and Mark Trail

Calm down Zack. You already won. Superman's buried again.

topKEK, example? This sounds too funny to believe.

>>43549
From memory, a few issues of Hulk when Dale Keown was art jolly african-american.
I just undid the staples and removed the ads. I don't care if it reduced the value, that shit was retarded.
What was worse was Strikeback, the old Kevin Maguire creator-owned book, which in its original run was printed one page forward because of ads, wrecking several double page splash panels and a few fancy page layouts.
The second printing from another company actually advertised itself with the tagline "This time we're doing it right!" lol.
Or there's those two pages from Tank Girl's second series that are always out of order. Never been fixed, even when they went back and coloured the fuckers.
Or Marshall Law: Cape Fear, which had the speaks bubbles from one page appear on the wrong page. Even in the TP, you'd think someone would fix that in the collection, don't you?
Fucking editors, you start to see why they make such poor decisions as regards talent and continuity? Because they don't read their own cunting books.
Now guys like Archie Goodwin, Julie Schwartz, Cat Yronwode, Ann Nocenti, they would have caught shit like that before it went to press, let alone REPRINTS, because they were pros. Now we got fanboys who sucked a lot of dicks running the show and arsing it all up.
Hell, Blaire Wentworth would have caught it, and she wasn't even real!

$$$$$$$$$$$$$

A few decades ago they even had shit like this in softcover books. Real old school classics with ads how you should join a record club.

Do e-comics come with ads?

The game?
