Has anyone heard of the comic DEN?

[BrianR]

I found a set of comics 1-10 called DEN They are by Richard Corben. Company was FANTGOR PRESS. $2.00 cover price from late 80's all color art. I looked in guide and could not find them anywhere. Only paid .25 each so...

I believe Fantagor Press started out as an underground comic company. The Den books were published as such and would not be listed in Overstreet.

I used to have these. Corben art is, as always, great, but the story didn't hook me. At $.25, you can't go wrong though!

I believe DEN started in Heavy Metal in the late 70s/early 80s. Bald hulking dude with a huge schlong, right? Probably covered up the schlong in the comic version.

even made it into the Heavy Metal movie as the first story after the intro

I'll offer you a quick 30% return on your investment,if they are VF or so.

No, they range from fine to nm the worst shape ones look as though they were in the .50 bin the longest. Bought them for something different to read. So far no so bad. Local store bought a bulk collection and has been selling them all for .50 ea. With store credit I pay .25 ea. Picked up a few MJ inserts too.

Den...illustrated by the magical airbrush of Rich Corben...this is the character that, to me, really opitomized Corbens talents..schlong and all...

Blob, Tell us more about this monstrous hulkin' schlong? Can't wait to start a thread called Attack of the Giant Sausage.

well jedi, you little sausage hound! anywayz, in the heavy metal magazine stories he simply walked around naked or with a belt or something and a vaguely remember something hanging down to about den's knees. given that i was a youngster when i was reading these second-hand from my older brother, i found this sort of shocking, that is until my own grew past my kneecaps.

I sold a set about 2 months ago for nice $$$, I believe close to $50 for the whole set on ebay, all were VF-NM

What you want to do is find the Slow Death undergrounds of the early 70's. That's where Den first appeared.

The comics he is talking about were regular comics, if I recall correctly, without all the nudity that made the first two Den series (serialized in Heavy Metal) so great. I recently picked up Rip In Time, which Corben did with Bruce Jones, also published by Fantagor.
