Bosco685 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) Hey there folks. I am sure deep in the threads somewhere this has been touched upon before, but this is one of my favorite series of the 80's. Especially since O'Barr's life experience with the death of his girlfriend drove him to pour out a work of art that is timeless. Anyone else a nut over the depth of the early work? I made the mistake of selling my originals off years ago, and have been slowly rebuilding my collection. Edited March 15, 2009 by Bosco685 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Nice books! Really cool that O'Barr signed the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanfingh Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 The Crow is a really amazing series. I saw the movie first and then went back and picked up the trade. As good as the movie was, and even weighed down with the tragic death of Brandon Lee, it still could not convey the crushing sense of melancholy and existential angst that the comic produced. I think it is a masterpiece, and O'Barr's artwork holds up strongly as well. I got my 1 and 2 and a Caliber Presents auto'd by him at WWTX, this year, but I didn't think to have him sign the back cover of the CP. Nice work, Chris.

Bosco685 Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 One of the best storylines in comics EVER! I am still kicking myself for missing out on JJ's Caliber Presents 1 CGC 9.6 he sold a few months ago. Last time I saw the complete set sold CGC'd was on ComicLink back in December. Prices were not even that bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanfingh Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Those Caliber books were bought and read! Most raw copies you see at cons are beat up. I bought all mine already slabbed with the exception of the CP that I SS'd. What was JJ selling the CP for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 That drawing is gorgeous! I have to take a picture of a print O'Barr sent me years ago. I was raising money for my boy scout troop I was helping out with, and called every company to ask for donations to go towards a comic charity. O'Barr was so cool about it, he sent an extra item with a note of appreciation for what I was doing. I lost the note years ago, but never the print.

Bosco685 Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 My gift from J. O'Barr for helping raise money for the Boy Scouts. Right next to my second favorite signed print, "The Shadow" by Michael Kaluta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidcolt Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Beautiful stuff in this post. I have never read a "Crow" comic, guess I should buy a TP and see if I like it. oakman29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 If you like dark, serious stories, you'll be hooked. At least with the early material. Good luck with your Crow reading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
