I was the grand prize winner of the Judge Dredd pinball machine from this issue. I was a sophomore in high school at the time. Wizard hosted the contest for Bally Midway. For some reason Bally Midway took a long time to deliver the machine, I think it was 6 months or so after being notified I won. The folks at Wizard magazine were great! They felt bad about the pinball machine taking so long to be delivered so they sent me a bunch of gold cards, gold Maxx 1/2 issue and a Judge Dredd vinyl model kit. I never had my picture in the mag I think because it took so long. Unfortunately I had to sell the machine after being laid off a couple jobs in a row when I was in my early 20s. That was over 20 years ago now. The machine itself was the coolest thing ever.
Love finding follow-ups for this kind of stuff
Alan Moore, writer of Violator.
I appreciate the Andrew Wildman shout out. I had no interest in Black Cat but I picked up the miniseries thanks to this very same ad. I really liked his art and was so stoked when he came onto Spider-Man 2099- unfortunately only a short while before that line imploded. Anyway, I agree that he’s a great artist that is a bit of a hidden gem.
I love that cover. This was the first Wizard I owned and I still own it. This was early in my comic book collecting and I think the coverage of Kirby's death was my first knowledge of him.
Jo Duffy was on the catwoman book for like 12 issues. She captured the characters voice I feel a bit better than the rest of the bat office. No disrespect to Chuck and Doug (as they probably told better stories) Can't remember the reasons for her departure but I think it might have related to delays. Apparently Dixon wrote her knightsend issue.
I really like those Madman variants. I'm on a Kevin Nowlan kick right now and have Fiffe to thank for that. Cool to see.
Allred's movie was called Astroesque. It was a companion to his Red Rocket 7 comics, along with a record by his band, The Gear.
There was also a movie called "G-Men from Hell" based on his characters.
Have you seen those movies? If so, what did you think? I haven't, but I'm curious about them.
Hell yes, Ed! RnR Racing is definitely in my top five SNES games.
Hell yeah that game lead to My lifelong love of racing videogames.
Holy shit - thank you for shout outs to Andrew Wildman. His Venom series was my childhood.
"Impotent Rage"-- ATOMIC FISTBUMP ED.
This issue is by FAR the most memorable for me. I'm right in between you 2 in age, and my thoughts on finding out Kirby passed away was the same as Ed's. The King is Dead, Long Live the King!
What happened at Valianet and Quesada was simply that Q was taking his sweet time, working on two books and being slow to begin with, which led to bad blood and threat of lawsuits. Somehow they settled and Q went to form Event...
Andrew Wildman had a run on X-Men Adventures. It was the adaptation of the Fox cartoon series.
As one or two others mentioned, Andrew Wildman was the original run artist on X-Men Adventures before leaving and John Hebert taking over. Oddly, Wildman drew issue 1 and Hebert did issue 2 of the 4-part Pizza Hut X-Men series.
My favorite cat woman.
this was the last issue of wizard I bought, it was right after this my local shop closed and I bailed out of comics for sports and girls lol
In 1994, before eBay, you could still get original art covers for $300. Grab one of those old CBGs and look at the Original Artwork ads. Just no Lee Weeks Gambit art.
Great video...Would love a video showing off your CON sketchbook!
I'm quite a bit older than you guys, so I understand you not understanding how much Cockrum was regarded at Marvel before his X-men work. I suggest you read Giant-Size Avengers #2, inked by the Crusty Bunkers to see his true greatness.
I looked up From the Darkness, and it's a "bad girl vampire story" with art by some guy named Jim Balent. Imagine that.
Was there a Catwoman pull out poster in this issue ?
Okay, not sure if a Madman movie got made but I have an old DVD of Mike Allred's other movie property. There was a movie made of G-Men from Hell starring Gary Busey and Robert Goulet. It is generally hard to find and mostly not worth the effort. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-Men_from_Hell
I bet Rob Leifeld has the Mario Lopez interview
as Rick Vietch fans, you guys should at least check out his work on Neil Gaiman's Teknophage. It's the stand-out of the line.
I remember Marvel trying to half heartedly use the Ultraverse characters, even going so far as to send some of their lower tier characters into the Utraverse for a while, but it was my understanding that they bought Malibu for the coloring department more than anything else.
The Madman cards came as a boxed set. Also, I think Wildman did Marvel UK stuff.
On 6:14 "Alan Moore, writer of violator" really aged well.
Chris Miller is the name of the guy who did the art on those Lost Boys prop vampire comics I've been recreating, I wonder if it's the same guy from 30:30
Speaking of hulk and horror what do you guys think of immortal hulk? I know you dont typically cover new stuff but that ones wild
I have the 4 Andrew Wildman Black Cat comics. It was those and especially Liam Sharpe's run on the Hulk that really pulled me into comics. But I remember loving that he drew her as athletic and not as a super model. That really stuck out to me at the time when comics were dominated by Balent-esque super model, or "boober models" as one of my friends called them.
I will say that the Hulk wedding issue had ONE good part. When Mephisto shows up to take Marlo's soul and the Hulk clocks the hell out of him. he points out that they were "gathered together under God" and muses that "what if those aren't just words" he then points out that this may be the only chance they will have to end Mephisto. I loved how Silver Surfer was totally down with that idea. It was goofy, but I liked the idea.
God I hated the Phalanx stuff, but Generation X was my jam. Though I was always frustrated how under powered Sync was made to be. He should've been god-like.
Can't believe you guys ripped up a Norm Breyfogle poster!
channel siskart Agreed. I’m thinking he immediately regretted it.
What was the fanzine with Cockrum's early work? Was it a compilation?
I've been trying to track down liquid TV disc for years.
Ah yes, the issue of Wizard that my mom threw away for being "pornographic." Thanks, Balent
could you guys have somebody interview you guys? that be cool
I'm a home boy!
