Who says kids today do not read comics.

 

My wife is a 5th grade teacher and has several boys in her class that not only read comics but they also make their own comics. They have created a hero of their own called Hunter, and I have been lucky enough to get scans of the first issue. Okay, the cover says its issue "%1", but they are just 10 years old so cut them some slack.

 

The art, story lines, and formatting were all done by 10 year olds. There was no adult assistance whatsoever.

 

Sorry about the image quality, but these are from scans of photo copies of the original art work that was done with number 2 pencils on printer paper.

 

The cover to Hunter "%1"

I love the way they have tried fit the story and art into comic style panels.

 

I have the rest of the story if anyone is interested, its only a few more pages. In the rest of the story the Hypnotizer calls forth his gang of Ninjas to fight Hunter.

 

Let me know your thoughts.....

very cool, thanks!!

 

When I was 8 or 9, I would take my comics and "copy" them by looking at the panels and re-creating the comic. Believe it or not, I also created my own comics with notebook paper, featuring some of my favorite monsters.

Much better than Rob Liefeld was at that age.

Hell...much better than Rob Liefeld at ANY age.

that would be the ringMASTER, no?

 

I just checked (Hulk 3 is one of my all time favorite non-key early Marvels).

 

RINGMASTER!

 

I think he showed up in later Silver-Age issues as the Circus Master (or something like that) too.

 

He was a lower level villain I think that pestered Daredevil and Spiderman a few times. I don't have those issues but read some reprints once...

Gotta love that simple panel "Let's Fight!" Most eloquent! What happens next???!!!!! thumbsup2.gif

 

Page 4: The conclusion. Fast, swift, and to the point.

Apparently, it only takes one panel to cover "Let's Fight!"

 

I guess the creative team realizes the futility in self publication. They have changed their focus from creator owned pursuits to a more widely accepted property, they are currently finishing up production on a Spider-Man comic. I am sure that I will get to read that one as well, perhaps I will post it here when they are done.

 

I hope everyone who checked it out thought that this was as cool as I did. thumbsup2.gif

There will be no #2

 

Word has it that DC purchased the rights and the creator is contracted for 12 books this year. Hunter will be introduced into the DC with a Hunter/Firestorm crossover (Elseworlds) this spring.

Yep, I was so that the obvious link was missed, that I musta typed too quickly.

 

confused.gif I don't think it is such an obvious link to someone who specializes in pre-code horror and hasn't read anything newer than the ocassional horror BA since the mid-80's.
