I was cleaning up my comic room this afternoon, and a shelf collapsed on me. Including this comic, luckily enough. Eventually, I regained consciousness and was able to feebly call for my dog, who came down, licked my face, circled twice, and lay down. Sometime later, my wife wondered where the dog had gotten to, and found me...
Well, maybe it wasn't that bad, but the disorganization is reaching critical mass. This next issue was also in a random box, and was recently reprinted:
As long as we're here, my hard drive had some more Mike Mignola art, some of which I've posted before, some I hadn't got around to yet.
I also remember a ton of covers from him for Marvel in the early 90's--a batch of X-Men Classics and assorted annuals.
Then there's Cosmic Odyssey, Gotham by Gaslight...
Amazing Screw-On Head, Dr. Gosburo Coffin (sp? I just put that one away, damnit)...
...a batch of DC annual covers that were often the highpoint of the book, a really good Legends of the Dark Knight...
One of my son's favorite comics, one of the first he ever read, was Hellboy: the Corpse, which he still loves. ("What do babies like?") Thanks, Mr. Mignola. I'll be with you for the rest of Hellboy, regardless of who draws it.
Tomorrow: answers for each panel! Mostly because I wanna go to bed.
Is that first picture from a comic called The Machine? I had the first issue (I think that's what it was) never read it, gave it away, but I remember the cover.
