The 1st 6-8 issues are my favorite indy B&W run of the 80's. I probably had 10-12 copies of #1 and only this one had any chance of being 9.8. I think the main reason they are rare is because no one is/has been looking for them. But they are not all 9.8, that is fo sho' http://www.myslabbedcomics.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=21184&GSub=1910 http://www.myslabbedcomics.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=10276&GSub=776 I still buy those cheap when I see them, Bt/B, Trollords, Adventurers, Fish Police, Shuriken, Samurai... That was such a fun time to collect and read. Im grateful to experience that era first hand szav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't go super deep into the B&W explosion, but I sure had fun with the stuff I had access to. Aweandlorder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 If you want to go to the early/mid 90's, I think there were also comics for Street Sharks and what I think was called Cowboys Of Moo Mesa (I remember both of them had cartoons, though I'm unsure which came first in either case)? Pretty sure the latter even had a crossover of some sorts with the actual TMNT. Not 100% on that, either. Just something I vaguely recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spracknetch23 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 As the C.O.Wboys were created by one of the Mirage crew, Ryan Brown, they did team up with the TMNT on more than one occasion. Here are a couple of covers. Cat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comiconxion Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Colt always seemed more like an homage to Cerebus and Kid Colt (as opposed to Ronin and Daredevil like the Turtles), but I'd add it to the list of comics that grew out of the Turtles explosion. Ironically, the first printing of #2 included a Turtles pin-up by Peter Laird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrwoogieman Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) While looking through my boxes of 80s B&W explosion and otherwise for some of these, I found my collection of Eagle comics from Crystal. Issue 6 has a pinup from Adam Hughes in there, has to be very early Hughes from 1987 or whenever it was, no? Other issues have pinups from Tim Vigil, Erik Larsen and Bill Willingham. Knew it at the time but forgot all about it. Ron Lim pinup in issue 12 as well. Edited February 7, 2018 by mrwoogieman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrwoogieman Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Just checked Grand Comic Database and they have Adam Hughes doing backgrounds on issues 9-11 of Eagle, but not for the pinup in issue 6. The details for issue 6 notes "Hughes" for penciller and inker on the pinup, rather than full name. Looks like the pinup might be his first published work. Anyone know?

Definitely one of his earliest works if not his first work. Ive been buying copies off the bay for awhile for dirt cheap. I finally got one last month that I believe to be a 9.8 which Ill send on my next batch https://www.ebay.com/itm/Eagle-1986-series-6-in-Near-Mint-condition-FREE-bag-board/232638062779?hash=item362a4f20bb:g:khcAAOSwFnxaZIo8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szav Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 For those with too little time to look them up on E-bay...found these 2 in an old box... probably not 9.8 candidates without a press and while I love these, not sure I love them enough to go to that expense just yet...
