OMG!!!!! What the hell were they thinking with that book :roflmao:

I expected to see this on there somewhere

[50 Cent #II (1st)]

That looks like a modern underground to me.

That book actually had pretty decent distribution. My LCS had some of these right when they were released. It was hot for about 40 seconds.

I read this entire thread when I found it the other day, and it inspired me to look through the independent box and I found a ton of stuff I didn't see posted. Some of the links to photos are dead, so I'm sorry if I post a repeat.

 

Here are some of the worst ones I could find. If anyone is interested, I'll post more.

MOAR!!!

I like

I think I have one or two fanzine/ashcan things with that nightshade character.

I'm pretty sure the Night Shade cover is hand colored with magic markers.

Here are some books that I actually read and enjoyed:

The Silent Invasion by Michael Cherkas and Larry Hancock was great stuff

I realize Copper Age pumped out some real stinkers. But man do I love this cover every time that I see it.

Most of this stuff isn't even on the level of the B/W fanzine comics of the bronze era.

Life Brigade looks like it was drawn by an 8 year old.

 

The non-cartoony art on some of the others isn't so bad (Hero Alliance #1 probably took a long time to draw to get the perspective of the reflection right). Yeah, there sure were a lot of #1s o series that went maybe 2 or 3 issues in the 80's. maybe even more than the 90's.

That Heroic one is most likely pretty good. I had been a subscriber of Tim Corrigan's self published comics up until just recently. They mostly feature that Mighty Guy character.
