Thanks for showing this, I’ve always wanted to see this issue. My local shop bought a collection last year from a woman that bought all her comics from a shop in a nearby small town in the 90’s, and the bulk of the comics in that collection were Boneyard Press! They gave me first dibs and I bought a ton of them. Also the guy who ran that RAW outlaw comic distribution, Glen Hammonds, was a friend of Tim and Joe Vigil, and had the largest collection of Vigil merchandise in existence. He even compiled a massive checklist of everything that ever featured Vigil art, including ads in other comics and art appearing in other mediums. Sadly Glen had to start selling his Vigil collection to help pay for cancer treatments. I met him online and bought a bunch of comics including all the later issues of Faust, Dog #3, and the second Gunfighters in Hell stuff. All his books were signed. I’m proud to have gotten to know him through email correspondence, he was a really good dude, but sadly passed away pretty shortly after I met him. I’ve thought of sending you guys a copy of that checklist, it’s pretty amazing.
Good to see someone address the fact that the loss of all distributors except one (who won't carry your book if it's selling less than 10K) had a lot more to do with the death of good comics and comics sales in the 90's than the "speculators" who bought multiple copies of things.
Oh thank god....I was going down a youtube shorts rabbit hole of tictok like content, my life was flashing before my eyes and my brain was screaming at me, "KKKKKKAAAAYYYFFFFFAAAAAAABBBBBBEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Man, I wish I had you guys as friends in 91 and on. I had no one to talk about this time in comics! Thank you guys for this channel.
Wow... Ben 10 artist, Duncan Rouleau, was one of the very first Bill the Bull artists for Boneyard Press, very cool!
That policy change of 10 000 issues ordered literally killed every publisher I was buying from at the time.
This video helped me discover that one of the Ben 10 creators actually drew a comic written by Hart Fisher.

Glen was a great guy and a real friend to the indie comics scene. RIP.
Didn’t Rob do a jean commercial? Was that the “your fly’s undone” reference?
Button Your Fly
Yep. With Spike Lee. "And you created X-Force?"
GOOD call man 😃

"It's a revenge fantasy, only 90's extreme" just about sums it up.
That was a real eye-opener! Thanks for a window onto the early nineties' scene in comics!
Dude is literally driving the Spawnmobile.

It was Hell's Angel, that Marvel UK had to rename to Dark Angel.
You nailed it. Plus, the actual Hells Angels helped me with my court case, lol. How's that for "Outlaw Comics" 😂😮😂❤

I forgot about Boneyard. Im pretty sure I have theHoward stern on somewhere
