I know Jim Valantino's son. We worked at Boeing together in Portland, OR. I had no idea who he was until I went to his apartment for the first time and saw all the Guardians of the Galaxy original artwork, and other art his Dad had given him framed on the walls.
He is a hell of an artist himself. (I am a writer, always tried to get him to do a comic with me, but he always declined. Said he wanted to make his own way and not be involved in the industry.)
One of the characters in Guardians of the Galaxy is actually based on him.
He is a really good guy. Smart and talented. Told me stories about Todd McFarlane and other Image guys coming to his house as a kid and hanging out.
For a comic fan like me it was like being fly on the wall.
The video for Wizard magazine issue 12 has some coverage for this issue (around the 52 minute mark). That hilarious gatefold issue also made an appearance.
all i could remember was Images of Shadowhawk(Giffen). but i will guess that you're correct. was worried i would spend a day looking!
I worked at that toy company in the summer of 2001 and screen printed those boomerangs!
There's a Shadowhawk Chronicles omnibus out there that reprints these early comics in grayscale - I almost like it better than in color, there's a certain grit that elevates the content
Can you guys look at some Ed McGuinness work? I love his stuff!
13:44 That codpiece bit 😂😂😂
i swear yall did the one with the gatefold unmasking and maybe the one with the glow in the dark cover
I believe Jim Valentino used to draw Wolverine in What If comics
Shadow hawk #1 is a book I’ve been hoping y’all would cover for forever! It’s by far my favorite early image book, great video :)!!
I had this thing back in the day and I ate it up. Didn't issue 2 have some kind of gimmick in it with him talking of his helmet and it was some kind of big ass fold-out thing.
Just found this in a dollar bin and bought it just because I had seen this video thumbnail.
Savage dragon and then shadow hawk were the best 2 from launch. Spawn and Youngblood looked cool bit were unreadable. Cyberforce and wildc.a.t.s were both enjoyable but just made me miss them on their x-books
I never ever noticed who is either!
This started as a Fox pitch for Archie Comics.
Kinda shocking you guys somehow made it this far into your channel and NOT done this book already.
I was thinking the same thing!
The episode was the fold out cover
I could have sworn I had this issue as a kid. Did a scan of what’s left of my collection and it’s nowhere to be seen. 😢
Grandma Washington! I wonder how she's doing these days? Let us know Kayfabers!
That lettering of "a nightmare walking" might be one of the most horrible lettering designs ever. What the hell is "anhawkg itrai gmeln"?
How was that okay to print? 😂
I just recently sent this issue in for Liefeld’s CGC signing. Tell Valentino to do a signing!
The newsstand variant cover is nice too.
Oh the memories ,shadow hawk , blood strike and troll. Still own those.
I know you guys did the Shadowhawk by Rob when you did the Image crossover.
Been looking for a Shadow Hawk #1 JV SS CGC for literally YEARS…
I remember the Keith Giffen Images of Shadowhawk ep
I see the Image X month issue and the Keith Giffen Shadowhawk episode.
I backed Image to the hilt as a supporter of independent publishing. So I have a tump of comics I never re-read. Still feel they are significant in spite of this.
I started reading through all the Image first wave books in 2020. Out of ALL the books, Shadowhawk was the most complete and interesting book. It actually had proper pacing, excellent backgrounds, a fully coherent plot. People vastly under appreciate Shadowhawk. The mystery of WHO Shadowhawk was a great gimmick and hook. The reveal was great too with the counterpart of Hawksshadow.
That page 16 that you said was 80's is soooo Patrick Nagel influenced.
WildCATS, Cyberforce have great artwork but they're SUPER boring.
Youngblood is very exciting but lacks any coherent story until like 3-4 issues in.
Spawn is beautiful but takes too long to get the gimmicks out.
Wetworks came out way later and is just schlocky but fun.
Savage Dragon is great and is most similar to Shadowhawk in being coherent and well paced.
Love me some SHADOWHAWK!!!
ps
... Working on my 1st mini comic (introducing a much bigger story with a whole universe of characters) very outlaw in every way. I'll send y'all a package asap.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Image X-month?
I always thought this character was a gimmick,had-HIV-broke criminals back ( this would've had 5-O on his &&& for that alone-LOL ) the art-work is worse than Liefeld's ( and that's saying something. LOL.
