An insider's view on the rise and fall of pioneering indie publisher, Pacific Comics. Enjoy!

Thanks.

That is an extremely interesting article.

 

Those issues of Twisted Tales and Alien Worlds written by Bruce Jones are absolutely priceless. Great stories and spectacular art, and you can still buy them for next to nothing. Somerset Holmes was wonderful too, and the Cliffhanger backup stories in those by Al Williamson are just breathtaking.

 

It's really too bad that Pacific Comics didn't thrive because they were publishing some wonderful books, if only for a short while.

I enjoyed their books too, and I think I bought everything they published.

[Blind Owl]

PC comics were great, especially the anthology stuff!

I would say the hardest to locate of the PC comics is Heroes of Sport and Movie Stars of the 1930's. They are long skinny books about half the size of a regular comic book. The Planet Comics reprint can be found but isn't as easy as the rest to locate.

PC was a beacon of 80's Indy hope...

[lookwhoitis]

I own a full run of PC comics...

 

I am missing an odd few of the Blue Dolphin issues, however.

PC was a beacon of 80's Indy hope...

 

They were among the best.

Amen. Thinking of them is bittersweet.

Much of the stuff in those books were ripped right out of Warren magazines.

Good for people who don't have or want to start collecting those.

 

What I didn't care for about the Wrightson stuff was the addition of color.

Gag! No matter how well done his work looks way better in black and white!!
