I reprinted Dale Luciano's landmark Newave Comics Survey as one of my print-on-demand titles 1994-1996.
The Survey was reprinted into a set of four digest sized books. This particular segment was originally serialized in Comics Journal 99 (June 1985) to 100 (July 1985) and includes profiles on: Vincent Jackson, Larry "Lynski" Johnson, Kirk Kennedy, George Kochell, Richard Krauss, Steve Lafler, Lord Larry, J. Michael Leonard, Bob Lewis, John Mahomet, Randy Maxon, Roger May, Scott McClure, Rick McCollum, David Miller, Andy Mosier, Marc Myers, Clifford Neal, Tony Nichols, Jane Oliver, Doug O'Neill, Gary Panter, Parsonavich, Dave Patterson, John Peterson, Tucker Petertil, The Pizz, Marcus Reed, John D. Richards, Leonard Rifas, Larry Rippee, D.C. Roberts, Michael Roden, Walter Rodgers, Roldo, Jim Ryan, Richard Sala, Steve Scharff, Rodney Schroeter, Charles Schneider, Roman Scott, Jim Siergey, Pete Silvia, David Steinlicht.
I have never agreed with Dale's summation of Marc Myers' work in this piece and find it the most puzzling profile in the entire Survey. To me, Marc's comix are the quintessence of what Newave/Obscuro was all about.
I haven't looked at this in quite some time. Very interesting to read again. As usual, I wish I could rewrite my piece. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteAn allegory for life, eh? There's a lot I wish go could back and rewrite.
