Can't believe he's gone. Kayfabe opened my eyes to what comics were all about. And I published my first trilogy. I dedicated it to Ed. Unbelievable....
It’s wild seeing where Ed came from. And wilder still seeing him here … back when he had NO IDEA how important he would become to so many of us around the world. What a tragedy to come up from so little, achieve so much, and then … gone.
RIP Ed -- from one hip-hop and comic book head to another. Seemed like a real cool dude, I watched his YT and always wanted to read Hip Hop Family tree. He deserves to still be with us. If his family is reading this, it will get better for you in time, I know from experience. Love.
Discovering videos about Ed that I haven't seen before is very painful, and also helps me cope with what happened to him and how horrible my society is.
I truly can’t believe this man is gone. Massive talent. Left behind incredible art that will live on. This terrible tragedy that should be a wake up call to everyone about the absolute evil of cancel culture which isn’t a culture at all but the destruction of one.
Are you from the media? If you have a voice to say something, please SAY SOMETHING!!! Ed was killed by a lynch mob. In FUCKING 2024! how could the system of a so called civilised country allow that?!
I was kinda over what happened to Ed: now after seeing this I'm really angry again. Just goes to show that people that seem to have "build themselves" and have a good style going can be really fragile underneath it. I think also, this type of work takes so much out of you that you can end up too tired to deal with anything else.
If only men could think with the right head and keep themselves out of trouble and away from teens. Doesn’t erase his creative contributions but adults must DIFFERENTIATE
@@VishvaComics No, Ed did nothing wrong even if he was flirting with a 17 year old and I don't subscribe to your sexually oppressive made up sanctimonious rules.
@@fuzmanchu Jeffery Epstein offed himself. A pastor being investigated jumped out the window…. Patterns are patterns. Guilt makes men do a lot. If a person is innocent they would show up. There’s videos of him saying “when I bring GIRLS over”… no one is asking a predator to subscribe to anything. Corrupt people will enable anyone who does what they do. USA is purging all of its perverts. It doesn’t erase his creative contributions.
Awww...I'll never have the chance to see a Piskoor's comics on Sean Price. Or to ask him why did he choose to write "Zulu" and "Gestapo" on that window at page 68 of his "Hip Hop Family Tree - 1".
Sad that Ed killed himself. This "cancel culture" we have in the US is a shame to our society. Ed may not have been a perfect person, but I doubt he deserved the level of harassment and exclusion that he received before his death. This is why we have courts -- if he was guilty of a crime (which I do not see any evidence of any crime yet) then he could be exposed in a court of law. Not "exposed" in some slanderous text message.
I know no one's going to take me seriously but could Ed have been on the autism spectrum? so many creatives are neurodivergent and some of the greats from the past were probably as well (undiagnosed, obviously). I think that someone with an autistic level of hyperfocus can pull off Hip Hop Family Tree, especially if hiphop is his special interest. I mean, dude didnt grow up in NY and wouldve been just a white kid from pttsburgh during that era, but he pulls off an encyclopedic narrative of that time in the context of hiphop? no, i think a special-interest-based, autistic hyperfocused creative with a love for hiphop could pùll that off. if you look up "masking" in the context of neurodivergents, I can imagine Ed absorbing hiphop into his "mask", which is not meant to be manipulative or deceptive, but is a survival instinct for many neurodivergents. I say all this as someone diagnosed with ADHD late in life and has autistic traits. There are other reasons why I bring up my theory but I'll keep that to myself.
I take you seriously. I am clinically DX'd ASD, from a family w/a lot of ASD members, and I thought this as well. What Ed took and expanded from the whole concept of "kayfabe" relates heavily to a wide variety of masking strategies/ASD perspectives on social functioning. Wizzywig and the Grand Design books are also extremely ASD sorts of projects to conceive of and take on. Having a uniform, needing that level of routine and alone-time, stereotyped speech, monologuing and inadvertently saying things that rub people the wrong way, often being regarded as "weird" or "off-putting" by more extroverted neurotypical folks, B&W thinking on certain subjects, keeping only family and an exclusive group of people "close," extreme attachment to certain time periods/places/"home," collecting/hoarding special interest objects crossed w/spartan utilitarianism, early onset of gastrointestinal issues, needing "same foods" (Ed always had to have bottles of Aquafina water on hand), etc., etc. I am more of an extreme case, but from my perspective Ed was textbook ASD. Regrettably, his final note and his logic there made perfect sense to me too: ( And yes, other reasons. Being a bit too overwhelmed w/enthusiasm and excitement when you encounter a person who shares some of your special interests GREATLY exacerbates social deficits. I don't know what really happened there, and have never been in a situation like the one Ed was in, but I believe Ed, and myself tend to not even be able to keep anyone's age, gender, social status, etc. in mind when I'm interacting w/them. I think he thought he was acting in a way that the person he was communicating with would appreciate/perceive as "cool," given their shared fondness for Hunter S. Thompson, GG Allin, horror/gore/splatter, general transgressive teenage rebel stuff, etc. I will continue to miss Ed. It is increasingly difficult to be a part of this world, but we all get the alternative inevitably.
If there is a cinematic parallel to be "drawn" in the film industry between Ed Piskor and a legendary director, in my opinion he is the Quinton Tarantino of comics.
Ed you got to know i hate that one this is brother marv-el aka captain Marv-el from Az comic con I HATE THAT SHIT It needs to be ur house and cleaned up
Ed has artist fingers, like his hands should be holding an apple on the cover of a werewolf novel. Also, now I understand why Ed wears shades. Those eyes are right out of a serial killer handbook. Cartoonist Kayfabe is the best!
Molly and Evs are both complicit... Ethan monetized a 3 hour stream where he laughed and screamed and rallied his thousands of sycophant chat members about how evil Ed was from these allegations.. now wants to pretend had nothing to do with anything.... the irony, the guy who was "cancelled" drives one of the largest METOO movements in comic history! it's almost comical.
white hipsters will praise Ed Piskor, who another commentator called "the Michael Rappaport of Comics" but his shtick needs to change with his hip hop rip off persona
@@aaronjohnson7812 I'm sorry, I haven't seen you at any of our meetings. Oh that's right, we're a group of African American comic enthusiasts. No disrespect intended but yeah, some of us Black people call him that. I- again, respectfully- don't expect you to get it, thanks.
@@rakeemwatkins9440 You mean, two males and Kirby or two American citizens and Kirby? And btw, why did you delete your comment about black comic characters to which I'd responded? Oh sweet ideology...
“…Whenever I bring a GIRL over”… literally he does bring girls NOT women. Talent, creative contributions and social strata doest’t erase responsibility.
Dude are you serious? The man killed himself! You will pick his words? What kind of monster are you? Ed would never hurt a fly, what are you implying? Aren't you happy with him being dead? Do you have to spit on him now?
@@cRPGeek how do you know this? Are you romanticizing? USA is saturated with pedophiles who were ex judges, teachers and politicians, music moguls, artists, celebrities, sport athletes, singers, actors, It’s A SHIT SHOW of perverts who can’t differentiate between what’s appropriate and what’s inappropriate. A persons creative capacity and social strata doesn’t reveal their SEXUAL behaviors. You’re an enabler and socialized delinquent. All of the people who off themselves that are Caucasians were doing it from GUILT and the avoidance of consequences (the easy way out)…. All they have to do is investigate his accounts and they will find what they need to. (He tried to delete his social media account which companies by law have to hold for 30 days) WHY THE STOCKHOLM SYNDROME?? stop romanticizing and idolizing humans!!
@@cRPGeek and you’re an INCEL??? Which grown man says “are you 17 or 18, if 18 I’m CRUSHED” that’s a highschool language except from an OLDER man. When old men like yourself can’t interact with people your age, you have to pick children??? Imagine being so perverse that you can’t tell the difference of what’s appropriate or not!
RIP Eddie. You taught me how to love comics again. You will not be forgotten.
Same here. He made me passionate about the medium again in a way I haven't been for a long time.
RIP Ed Piskor. You were a positive force in comics.
RIP Ed. :(
Damn those last words hits different now...

Can't believe he is gone. Its so wrong. Its so tragic. And the family he left behind. You dont heal from that, you just survive.
This man had a genuine love for comics
It's haunting at the end of the video when he talks about his obituary. RIP Ed Piskor
RIP Ed
There are people responsible for his early checkout. I hope they are held accountable and suffer consequences for their behavior.
Need to be consequences!
A story should not be defined by its ending. RIP Ed.
Rest In Peace Eddie P, an amazing talent gone way too soon.
Ed Piskors' work on X men characters was such a great nostalgic journey. R.I.P
RIP Ed. You had alot of great work left to do.
Can't believe he's gone. Kayfabe opened my eyes to what comics were all about. And I published my first trilogy. I dedicated it to Ed. Unbelievable....

Ed, we miss you.
Absolutely breaks my heart. RIP Ed. I never met you, but you seem like a good guy. Prayers for the family & friends you left behind. One Love. 🙏

So talented,i belive envy played a big part in his canceling.
"There is not enough money in it to listen to anybody" is such a way of putting it

I wish I knew him - seems like a super sweet guy 🤍
Ed Piskor, is a historian and a legend when it comes to his work ethic, thank you for posting this awesome video! Keep it Cosmic!
So sad for him.
Can’t believe he’s gone 😢
I heard of his passing & it ignited my love in interest in comics again. I running through my old stash again ❤
RIP ED PISKOR, 🙏
There was no mistake at the printer that weekend Ed. You're The Real Deal RIP
I’m going to download this video so they can’t take it away from me.

Wow he mentions his own obit at the end.
I did a video profile of him for TIME magazine. Well I produced a local video journalist to film it. I loved his work and am shocked by all this.

Wonder if he got that house and fixed it up
I love to hear this Ed talking. His love for hip hop and comics.
RIP Eddie P ✊🏾

Ed Piskor is such an inspiration. This is such an interesting film. I also loved the self-deprecating humour at the end :)
gone too soon
Deep
He must have had some sort of a nervous breakdown, it’s completely unbelievable he killed himself. For nothing. No words, it’s just so tragic
👍
an awesome snapshot into Mr Eddy P, cheers
"..thank you Molly for this!" -Ethan Van Sciver one week ago on his live stream covering Molly's allegations. very sinister.
Eddy P is the man! I absolutely love his work!!
To think his entire life was used as fuel for a lesser artist to try to gin up interest in their own career.
Ed is the man.
a serious loss
