tell me about comics (1 Viewer)

[Corm]

Speaking of comics- the comic strip I'm working on should be appearing in an upcoming Judge Dredd Megazine

which is nice

Actually? Or is this a "funny joke"? I bought the Megazine every issue for about 3 years...ah, back in the day, when I had the shittest paper round ever just to buy comics and save up for a Super Nintendo cos my parents said it was a waste of money and wouldn't get me one...

 

[bombidol]

Yeah i used to save my lunch money and scab food off people to buy comics in school. sad state of affairs.

When the dead rise, you'll be pretty pro-guns too.

Everyone knows that the chainsaw is the weapon of choice when faced with the walking dead

 

[spuded]

gonna lose punk points and comic book points here but am I the only one who was crazy into those little small COMMANDO comics back in the 80's, still have a truckload in the attic of my parents house, must get em out again soon.

I had a weird love of army related shit like EAGLE magazine too.

and the BEANO, about 1500 of those bastids still in my parents attic.
WHIZZER and CHIPS too.|..|

As if i would try and crack a "funny joke"! The very idea!

Me and the writer pitched an idea for the small press feature thats currently running in the Megazine and "Tharg" said yes

So now all I'v got to do is draw it to a suitable standard

It's a non-paying thing but it's cool to be a step closer to my childhood dream of drawing for 2000ad!

 

[Corm]

Yeah, Commando & Eagle were legend!! Also WARLORD!!! I've got a Commando annual with a deadly story about the SS being Vempires, ha, legend!!

Whizzer & Chips, Buster, Garfield...they were Nooly's buzz. But I read 'em too. I was more of a 2000AD man. My mental aunty gave me loads of religious comics about Jesus one Christmas too, I still fuckin read them when I'd read all the others too many times, then eventually tippexed over the speech-bubbles and changed the dialogue to be all about willys and bumming.

you did that to my beano annuals too......
"cooee! i fancy a GOOD BUMMING!" "cor! check out my BIG WILLY!"

there were two hardback bumper sized reissues of Commando at xmas

which my girlfriend was sound enough to buy me

 

[bombidol]

Thats one of the best things about 2000AD is that they do involve new people. A lot of the future shocks etc nowadays are sent in by relative unknowns. So get typing! on another note, Commando fans should hit up the second hand section of Chapters. Its commando heaven.

i have a pile of creepy Chick religious comics

so much hatred disguised as love

horrible

but very, very funny too!

A good way to get noticed in the comics world is to get invovled with the small press- there are a few Irish ones but Ive done stuff for these guys and some others too

It's not a Future Shock-unfortunately- its a strip we've developed and have had some episodes published in FutureQuake- you can download them form the site

Still along, long way from being a professional comic artist but its good crack and sure what else would I be doing with my time

Anyone heard of LOBO ?

 

[therealjohnny]

Lobo was great in the 90s when written by Alan Grant and drawn by Simon Bisley-really violent and funny. I haven't read recent ones though, still good?

 

[Corm]

Lobo was cool, Simon Bisley is the biggest legend in the world, fucking AMAZING art. I can't believe I forgot to mention Slaine in regards to amazing comics. I saw a photo of Bisley a few years ago; if it really was him, then he's a huge musclebound Calie-for-nay-ay type rocker dude -coooool!!

hes English but yes, a metaller through and through- theres a clip somewhere of him playing drums in his band

I love his stuff- and Im glad the trend for artists to rip him off, badly, has passed

Check out his Bible artwork- amazing

 

[Corm]

His bulbous cocks and explosive breasts are second-to-none!

 

[therealjohnny]

I love Simon Bisleys cock and tits

wait...
