Flattered to be "called out". Ed has a good memory, and got my name right. I, along with many talented friends (most of them, are still FB Friends), worked on Jim Lee's WildC.A.T.S cartoon. A shame that it only lasted a season. Bob Smith (not the comic-book inker) was the in-house (ersatz) director. But Jim Lee made most of the calls on stuff, and was very hands-on. Most of the guys that worked on the series, are still around Toronto, at various studios. I currently work at Yowza! Animation. And the guy (Paul Mota) that voiced the character "Maul" is doing Animation cleanup for us.. haha As an aside, Steve "Spaz" Williams was a year ahead of me at Sheridan College. He went on to become a CG Anim genius. Did all the dinosaur stuff in 'Jurassic Park'. The T-1000 in 'Terminator 2'. And also did all of the CG Anim Effects for Jim Carrey's "The MASK". For all the Toddy-Mac fans, "Spaz" would also go on to co-direct MacFarlane's "SPAWN" live-action feature!
So cool! Thanks for the insight!
RIP Norm Breyfogle - we lost a great one when we lost him.
Norm Breyfogle may be my favorite Batman artist. Having never met him, I was friends with him on Facebook, and he struck me as such a good person. Sometimes it's crushing finding out what your heroes are really like. This wasn't that. RIP.
I'm addicted to these Wizard videos. RIP Ed.
THANK YOU for this video! Oh my gosh i'm almost crying watching this wizard edition again. I purchased mine at an import store in international airport, back in 1994 in Rio De Janeiro! I was blown away for it's cover with x-women and gen x content!! We didn't had this type of complete content about comics and comic related culture here in Brazil until the late 90's. I was blown away by every single page in this!!! It was my teenage years, and god knows how I spent nights drawing or learning to draw after some art in those pages!! again..thank you for the memory..for the trip to my youth! =) I'm completely emotional right now!!
Norm Breyfogle went to Northern Michigan University, and they still regularly display his original pages in the museum on campus when they have art from their permanent collection on display!
I got a business card promoting this channel at Vault of Midnight in Detroit. Now here I am
Welcome! And read more comics!
Wanted to add to the bit about Gladstone Comics. They were published by a guy named Bruce Hamilton, who was a Disney fan along the lines of Russ Cochran -- very devoted to the classic Disney stuff and to creating new stuff in that vein. He was based in Arizona, and passed in 2005.
Love that Ed pronounces it "Wrasslin'"! HAHAHA So many in the south, do. HeH
Breyfogle’s Batman always tops my list of favorite Batman artists.
I had a Generation X t-shirt that my mom bought me at Suncost in the mall and it had the names of all the characters on the back and one of them was 'White Queen'. I wore that to school in 9th grade and people unfamiliar with comics gave me some looks.
YES! I was 100% in love with the X-Men of this era. Chris Bachalo's art is among my favorite comic art of all time. Still adore Generation X.
As a Bachalo fan, what's your favorite title or series? It seems like he's got quite a few different runs (and style variations) on his resume. - Jim
@@CartoonistKayfabe Wow! I was just honking off, I wasn't expecting a reply from THE Jim Rugg. His recent work on Doctor Strange was pretty great although his work on Generation X and X-men is still my favorite. I adore the "bouncy" (if that makes sense) style he has which made the X-Men feel stranger and more like 60s spy-fi and less like Jim Lee's paramilitary take on the group. It may also be because I discovered his work during middle school just as The Phalanx Covenant/Gen X was taking off and it imprinted on my brain.
@@RobWalkerFilms That spy vs. paramilitary style comment is so dead on. Thanks!
@@CartoonistKayfabe It is transcendent to watch him on Shade the Changing Man (still likely Pete Milligan's best comic) grow up from a Neil Adams clone with Sienkiewicz flourishes into nearly the artist he was when he did Death, then Ghostrider 2099, then into the X-men world. Those comics are amazing to read - even today - not least for his fantastic development. He'd go through phases of a few issues where he'd be interested in different techniques, like background patterns, panel layout, perspective, etc. I can't recommend them enough. Thanks for these commentaries! I love them!
@@CartoonistKayfabe Longtime Bachalo fan. His style holds firm across his jumps between X-Men, Avengers and Spider-Man titles after his run on Steampunk in the very early 2000s, but his most interesting work is still Generation X where he transitions from his style on Shade The Changing Man into what eventually promotes him to Uncanny X-Men. Generation X #17-#22 would be my all-time favourite comics if you forced me to choose.
In the Drawing Board segment, ELF would repeatedly appear in WIZARD both on Drawing board and Fan Letter Art (often with Spawn or Pitt inspired work IIRC). He is a regionally well received artist in the southeast, and he ultimately became a tattoo artist in North Carolina. He does still occasionally make convention appearances - he was stationed behind me in artist's alley at a show a few years back. Nice guy. Also, Jeff Welborn has done some comics work over the years (STUDIO COMICS PRESENTS #1; NIGHTMARE WORLD not sure who the publisher is but it's available on Comixology; THE WRAITH: DREAD AVENGER OF THE UNDEAD from Trinity Comics), did some DC Legacy Trading cards work, and he has done RPG artwork. Haven't met him but have test inked over his samples before. His style has really evolved from what appeared here.
Ed Piskor seems like the coolest best friend that lived down the road from me that I never knew I had
Gen 13 and Generation X were sooo huge. Its weird that now neither exists and no one really talks about them.
This was my first issue of Wizard as an eleven year-old in 1994 and a huge influence on my interest in comics beyond X-Men titles all through my teenage years. I turned 38 yesterday and quite possibly could have lost interest in comics without this magazine introducing me to the broader comic book industry.
I too needed a friend with HBO to provide Spawn on home VHS
That Mudpack run in Batman by Breyfogle was like crack to me as a kid.
Not only did the Pogo characters talk in distinct voices, many of them talked in distinct lettering styles. I always thought that was cool.
😝 I liked Force Works as a kid, and the pop out cover is still awesome.
I wish Larsen would pitch a new Savage Dragon show to Netflix.
Any thing will divert is attention from the comic which he doesn't want to do. He would need a someone he trusts running it. Which he won't have that input again like the cartoon
I just got wizard #34 this week. 😀👍
Chris Bachalo is wonderful. Met him a couple times. Very nice man. So much talent. I got a page from him. A commission. And I have an uncut cover one sheet for generation x 1.
I love his style of darks and "scrachiness " of the figure forms.
I miss 90's Rogue... Her costume was so stylish, with just a hint of 90's edge. And all that friggin' hair!
Wasn't there a contest where they asked people to count the bullet casings? If not, there should have been.Great episode guys.
One of my favorite things about Kevin O'Neill is that he uses this lurid neon green in his coloring that like nobody on Earth uses
My friends dad owned a comic book store so i never owned these early issues we would just read his dads copy that was always in the kitchen. I remember before the first issue came out he gathered us all up and gave us issue one because “it was going to be a popular new magazine”. I was perplexed by the name Wizard. Why Wizard? His dad didn’t have an answer and just wanted us to accept it as the next big thing. Basically read this and tell your friends. I wasn’t the best spokesperson for this magazine.
I was out of X-Men at this point, but I worked at a comic shop when Generation-X came out. It was too gorgeous not to buy.
I still have 12 issues of Steampunk. I'm pretty sure that's the entire run. There was a couple of big release-date gaps between some of the final issues.
I always assumed that was Wolverines adamantium skull on the cover since he is often depicted with pronounced canine teeth
As for Mars Attacks, Topps owned Mars Attacks - based on their original card set of the same name from the 70s. They did the comics because it was a property they owned. IDW now publishes the comics but I think they license the property from Topps still.
I remember that specific GL article and one about the Emerald Twilight fan backlash. Also it reminds you of Shanes Helms cuz he's a huge GL fan he has the lantern symbol tattooed on his bicep.
Looking forward to issue 42 - the only Wizard I bought, as it featured Star Wars, Alex Ross and JLI comics.
Back when I collected original art, I spoke with Chris Bachalo's art dealer and was corrected several times. He said it was pronounced "Ba-chell-o". He also said I couldn't get any pages for under $500, so that was the day I stopped collecting original comic art. Too rich for my blood.
A friend of a friend of mine was inking some of his original pages (for Steampunk I think) and pre-inks those pages are nearly ready to go out of the mailer - screen tones, clip art pasted in, borders detailed. $500 bucks is too rich for me too, but wow. It's worth it.
I bought a page for 300 from xmen. Check his Twitter out and website he gets some sales sometimes
That Generation X comic has an ad featuring the Jim Balent Rogue from the cover of the Wizard magazine that's talking about Generation X and holy christ my brain is melting.
John Cleary did draw the Hellspawn comic, but that ad is a Hilary Barta illustration.
Haha, Ed, I had JUST turned 12
I just finished rewatching the HBO Spawn on Amazon Prime. Much better than Spawn comics but it got cancelled abruptly as it was hittin it's stride. The Crypt Keeper style intros with Toddy Mac are especially hilariously bad.
I heard bart Sears put out a awesome how to draw book recently.
1:14 I always assumed it was Wolverine's maybe
Jim do you still need Spawn animated series season 1...i have a vhs you can have LoL. I even got a new in box vcr. Hell i got a bunch of shit to send y'all...
Am I wrong or are you joking a lot about Bart Sears? Is there a reason why? Just curious 😉during my wizard period I love his work...
Grant Morrison knew how to use Kyle Rayner as a Green Lantern in his JLA better than character creator Ron Marz did in the Green Lantern book.
What happened to Image Comics. They had cartoons on tv. Video games. Now just the walking dead is carrying the multi-media torch for image.
I think Jim Lee's return to Marvel with Heroes Reborn and his exclusive deal with DC and subsequent sale of Wildstorm really hurt the Image brand. It went back on what Image was founded on and the publisher went quiet for most of the 2000s until they rebranded themselves after the success of The Walking Dead in the 2010s as the place to publish creator-owned comics that would go on to be optioned for film and television, yet never reaching those heights.
Your disdain for DC and Green Lantern specifically makes me sad. Good videos regardless.
I forgot i had this issue too!
