I only make comics in anger and deficit.
True art
That shooter panel sequence is from Corben's 'Rowlf', from Rip Off Press.
Ed's giggles put me in a good mood
Read this book in 8th grade and took it out of the school library repeatedly. Decades later, I finally found a copy and like Ed, was blown away by the wave of nostalgia!
Man I loved your X-Men comics, especially the treasury size
Nostalgia is a helluva drug!
Man! I'll never forget that comic strip about reincarnation! It stayed with me ever since I first saw it at age 11 but for the life of me I couldn't remember the name or author of that book. I also remembered the Corben art, first time I ever heard of him. Thanks to you guys and the person who clued you into the name of that book!!
I checked out this book from the public library countless times. Thought “The Aerialist” was awesome.
18:04 Ed creates the Me and The Boys meme
Thanks, guys!
"Fun and profit" definitely comes that book Ed read when he was 8 y.o.
holy shit! I've been looking for "Jason" and his pen name for half of a goddamn decade (!!) he and Michael DeForge had by far my favorite shit at my school's library outside of big-time shit
I think that Corben page is from Rowlf (Rip Off Press 1971), Ed.
When I was a little kid in the 80’s I wanted to be a cartoonist too, and from 3rd-8th grade I made 29 issues of my own series. Granted the early issues were only like 6 pages each, and I never made any photocopies. But at some point I looked back at the early issues and was shocked at how bad they were as I had gotten better, so I redrew the first 12 issues or so with the exact same layout/dialog but just better drawings. Then my friends and I made 5 issues of a “jam” type comic where we each drew different pages. It was called Unlucky Larry and Larry died on every page. Ed and Jim would love all the over the top violence if nothing else! Wish I had stuck with it but pursued a life as a musician instead.
I recall checking that out at the library myself. Very cool. You guys rock. Loved this look at the history of so many creatives. Keep doing what you are doing guys.
You guys should remake this book for the modern day. It would be epic.
I looked at this book when I was around 10! I stumbled upon it in my local library and checked it out nearly every visit!
Yeah in some ways you kind of get bogged down by what you know, there is something so raw about these pages of all these people just going for it. Like I was drawing some pages back when I was single digit ages but I kind of stopped when I started to get better on a technical level, by 15 I was decent for my age at anatomy and basic proportions (maybe good enough for early 60s Marvel as a comparison) but exclusively drawing figures kind of neutered my ability to draw anything else especially pages of story telling because me being perfectionist there would be a strong contrast between my figure drawing and literally everything else, which put a block in mind for a while. Now in my early 20s I’m kind of getting out of my rut, and one of my tools I used with my obsessive perfectionist brain was basically just straight up copying other comics page for page. I started with that Strange Tales Kirby issue where Torch fights Captain America, and did a Ditko issue, a Buscema, etc, and found after doing so when I went to do my own compositions and my own pages that some part of those artists had imprinted on to me, and really gave me a feel and the confidence to do more work independent of reference. I guess it’s kind of like a school kind of approach like in Math class where the teacher shows you how to do a type of problem and you copy that verbatim and that kind of allows you to figure out the homework questions, by taking what the teacher showed you and applying that to a different problem.
Thank you guys so muuuuch! I've spent almost 4 decades trying to remember what book this was!!! I only remember the color was blue. By the 5th page you looked at I knew it was the one! This book and Lee J. Ames "Draw 50 Famous Cartoons" were the 2 books that sent me down my path! This has distracted me all day!
11:30 Thought that looked familiar. It's Rowlf by Richard Corben.
I've been doing so much research around this story, I had to kick myself from simply recognizing the style before seeing the name in the bottom corner.
Ed actually had the book in front of him when Warren Bernard was over and looking at the Richard Corben books.

Had a big smile on my face watching this, just really enjoying your enthusiasm.
Your enthusiasm is catching. Love it
Almost reminded of Alam McKenzie's " How to draw and sell comic strips for newspapers and comic books"
I love these types of books, this and Scott McLeod
that is really cool you brought out all those old comics you created, Ed...that is awesome art at 14 yr old.
Wow, I have this book! I wasn't sure anyone else had it, never seen it discussed before.
'Ditto' machines were a brand name of 'spirit duplicator' popular in the US. In the UK the most popular brand was 'Banda'. These were a cheap way of copying before the cost of photocopies came down. They tended to produce purple ink that faded over time, eventually disappearing completely. They were popular in schools, and the spirit smell was an integral part of school life. th-cam.com/video/ccYLLzpeVnU/w-d-xo.html
What a great book for a kid to discover; seems like it'd be life-changing.
Loved this book as a kid, had a copy of it and went through it a lot. Also went to those comic book production classes, Marcel was an awesome dude. Only went to one production class but it was an awesome experience.
Oh man...this was one of the first books I took out of the library from the comics section!!
Remember it when it came out, wish I had a copy now !!
My elementary school had this in the library, I checked it out at least once a month
Love it
Dang. Most of the art classes I took in middle/high school, the instructors were down on comics. I would have loved to have one that promoted and compiled our work in a printed comic.
When you got to Billy Freedom I remembered this exact book.
RIP everyone looking to buy this, it just vanished from eBay and Thriftbooks so fast. XD
Of bloody course it did
There's a scanned version as part of the Internet Archive's Open Library, but now that I've said that, good luck getting a checkout slot. :)
@@ericn.wilson2345 Yep.
Great stuff
The Richard Corben comic is Rowlf
Well they used 'DITTO MACHINES' because that's what schools used, and you could print your fanzine/comics at school!
Yoooooooooo i thought i was the only one! connetquot public library represent
In case anyone wants to see the book, it is available for online checkout. archive.org/details/makeyourowncomic00rich
Don’t know how many Gib ordered but Red Room was sold out the day after it came out.
Man I'm so fucking happy y'all got this. It will help to inspire amazing work out of the both of you...but Ed dusting off dusty synapses...no damn telling what may happen... bro just don't bust a vein LoL
Street angels is so good!
Bro’, publish all that Eddie P kids art man! They look great!
When are y'all going to print your comics from when you were kids? I would buy that collection.
