Stan Sakai needs more recognition for his sustained contributions to comics. Thanks for posting!
I think you're thinking of "Patrick Nagel."
The Spiral Path was a serial in WARRIOR magazine, published alongside Moore's V FOR VENDETTA and MARVELMAN.
Man, that Krause Nightwolf stuff is a trip. I did some last minute fill-in coloring on a book he drew earlier this year, and he's all business these days. Strong traditional superhero work that looks nothing like these pages.
It was SO good to see all these non-Superhero comics you grabbed. All these different genres and styles! Very inspiring. Thanks Jim and Ed!
The Spiral Path was from Warrior, UK magazine format, black and white. Quality did some reprints of other UK stuff in that resized format (check Loner if you can, from Wildcat comic in 80s originally, reissued as 4 part miniseries, good art by David Pugh and the hero is referenced on Lionel Richie lol)
That Paranoia comic was based on a dark comedy SF role-playing game. Everyone's wearing red to indicate their colour-coded security clearance.
As I recall, the first issue of Rion 2099 was thought to be the first American comic to be full manga style. And the damn thing would almost always be bent at the top from being too tall for a comic box.
Nagel influence on that Micra cover. These vids are awesome, so many memories. Thank you!
Spiral Path was in Warrior magazine, hence the formatting
Rich Hedden and Tom McWeeney did my favorite run on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Very cool.
David Pugh is a hero of mine. He is most famous for drawing Slaine in 2000ad. However, I first discovered his work in the UK M.A.S.K. comic (based on the 1980's Kenner Toys), with scripts by Peter Milligan. David also worked on Dan Dare in the 1990's and created a character called Loner, which was published in a short lived UK sci-fi anthology, Wildcat. Great stuff! I need to add Last Planet to my collection. Thank you for sharing your long box bargains and fascinating commentary guys.
Reagan's Raiders ad in Ninjutsu is hilarious.
I think Palookaville 18 is the super low print run issue. I've never seen one (except on Google images). #17 might be one of the lower print run issues as well, but I've spotted one or two copies in the wild. Nice pull.
I got a 25 cent copy of Raider 3000 #1 on Free Comic Book Day, too. Hoo boy... don't really know what to say. Whatta ride...? I'll definitely go back and look at it again!
Steve Pugh was the artist on the Flintstones re-imagining for DC a few years back. He knocked it out of the park. Great mix of realistic and cartoony.
i remember the Night's Children artist had a piece in Taboo. I think their art is prismacolor colored pencils on textured black paper.
I'm nauseous! Recently got it in my head that I needed a full run of Hall of Heroes Vortex-- That one you got for 17 cents cost me like $70 on ebay just a month ago.
This is both awesome and ridiculous. How are all these different and diverse comics all in the quarter (or lower) bins? I never find such a diverse range of publishers anywhere. Most of the books that are shown here I hadn't ever heard of aside from a previous mention on this channel by the guys.
I just went to a local con (San Diego Comic Fest) and found some 3 for a dollar boxes and 95% of them were Marvel /DC/Image, the rest of them were from Now or First or Avatar, and that was about it.
Razorguts is an Argentinian comic originally called Ministry. I didn't know it was published there. The cartoonist, Solano Lopez, did among many other things, The Eternaut.
Man, I bought a lot of these at 12 (even that terrible Ninja guide one). Dug "Night Life" for trying a magic realism thing. LOVED LOVED LOVED "Pirate Corp$!" Thanks for the great walk down memory lane from that small press B&W explosion era (don't read them on a hot day, the ink will come off on your hands!)
I can see that Pekar panel from the story about record collecting: "This must be what it's like to be a junkie." Great video. Brad Foster was a big part of the small press/mini scene; his Jabberwocky Graphix is still more or less operating.
Patrick Nagel is the 80s Artist you were thinking of.
A Blackthorne comic to check out is Nervous Rex by William van Horn. It's a humor comic about dinosaurs and really well drawn (van Horn did some 80s/90s Disney Duck stuff). Since it's a little off-topic I put this in the L-Z episode
I just saw another discriminating commenter mention Nervous Rex on the part one video, high five
Rion looks amazing - I am about to pull the trigger for the two issues on eBay. So many books I have never heard of here despite the fact that I spent the late 80s/early 90s working as free (underage) labor in a comic store.
33:37 hopping with jealousy you found a full colour Sam & Max! I've got the black and white trade from TellTale but would love to see a full colour reprint.
Great haul! Some amazing gems in there!
Evan Dorkin! Yes! Huge missed opportunity when Cartoon Network didn't pick up the Eltingville Club cartoon series.
Carl Potts is a huge Sam & Max fan. He said its the only comic that made him laugh out loud before.
That Zen 1 is like 200$ on ebay right now. lol, nice score!
Oh snap. You ain't lyin'.
That Paranoia comic - is that based on the old RPG game? Sort of looks like it.
Max Douglas currently works under the name of Salgood Sam
What do you think of Reagan's Raiders? I've never read it. Sounds like an odd premise.
I like it. It's very strange. Sometimes the oddness is the thing that makes these books charming. - Jim
Saucer of zilk is a British reprint from 2000ad that's pretty wierd
Brad Foster's known for an underground comic called
Adventures of Olivia
At the time Marvel would NOT hire indie artists that were remotly controversial. Barry Blair told me when I worked for Elfquest that he was blacklisted at Marvel because of his Elflord work. Also Corben who was suggested for tlhe Hulk was not hired at the time...
Max Douglas aka Salgood Sam
Yeah, Tom McWeeney was at Wildstorm. He inked Battle Chasers with Joe Mad. His new book, Atomic Frenchie is cool.

I get confused with Richard ALLLLL the time
Late to the party--but THE SPIRAL PATH was serialized in WARRIOR at the same time the title carried Moore's MARVELMAN and V FOR VENDETTA. Here's the cover to WARRIOR #6 (scroll down): www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=453931
Ted Boonthanakit is a Filipino-American artist who worked in advertising for clients in the Atlanta area like Coca Cola.
he went on to do storyboards and design for movies... www.imdb.com/name/nm0095553/
Patrick Nagel!
This episode just cost me $32.70 from MyComicShop.com.
so excited to see that you found some LIFE Brigade Ed! Absolutely love Stormons work, beautiful scores!
Maelstrom is a real fun one. Think there was 11 issues? Issue 4's cover is my favourite of the bunch.
MICRA! Man I love the art in that series. Story isn't so hot...but who cares?
trying to not comment on every single book because there are so many gems in here but I had to give a shout out to Prime Slime Tales. I loved that book when I was a wee lad.
