I love me some Jimmy V! This is the guy that brought me into Image in 2001 and told me that my creator-owned work would always have a home there. A damn good guy and an awesome friend. Thank you Ed and Jim for doing this!
Mr. Mahfood - Was Jiim Valentino crucial to getting your Stupid Comics series published? If so, I'm very grateful. I've always loved Jim's Guardianof the Galaxy series, but his attitude about comics is encouraging and refreshing.
He brought some very interesting voices to Image back in the day, not surprised you were one of them. I drank up all that early image work of yours, Food. Hugely influential on me.
I'm getting back into comics because of my son, now I'm going through the rabbit hole and glad to tell you I'm hitting subscribe after seeing your post...
You can probably guess I'm a big fan
Ed & JIm Putting some respect on Valentino's Name 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Valentino is a comic book legend that none of us deserved, super underrated when it comes to comic creators. Thank you guys for this interview, and most importantly thank you Jimmy Valentino, you're one of the reasons I picked up a pencil and for that I will be forever grateful.
Shadowhawk was my favorite Image comic , followed by Spawn and then the rest.I still go back and read all of my S.H. issues every few years and still love them!
CK has been KILLING it with all these interviews! Please, keep'em coming!
I did one of the Image books ("Journeyman") that Mr. Valentino purged in '99 - '00. Very glad I listened to this -- I learned that it wasn't personal and I have gained further respect for Jim as the publisher of Image and his thought process behind their line of books. Excellent interview Ed & Jim!
Damn. How were you notified about your book getting canned, and how'd you feel at the time?
These are amazing. Thank you. They can't stop now. We have to get everyone now. The Image 7!
I hope this is plan : )
Of all the interviews thus far, JV is my favorite. Just an awesome dude. The love of the bright side of the industry - - the art itself - - is palpable.
Thanks for this interview. Valentino is one of my favorite creators. He seems to not get his dew for what he's done in comics.
Guardians of the Galaxy was the first comic that I searched out back issues. Whenever a new issue was released it was always the top of my reading list. I eventually made a comic of Jim Valentino unused ideas and covers for a school project( years later)
Absolutely love Jim. Ran into him at Golden Apple Comics when I was about 12 and thought “oh my god that’s Jim Valentino!” He was so nice and signed my guardians book. I’ll never forget it :)
Jim Valteanio is one of my favorite comic book 🎨. I have every comic book that he drew. His style is amazing. I always ask myself how many hours and days with all that detail does it take to finish his pages. He can out draw Jim Lee. It's his detailed style that we don't see anymore in comics. If you want to be a comic book artist like me study his style. Try drawing one of his characters and keep on practicing.
man, the story of Image's creation should be made into a movie. Actually, I'm calling it right now: this WILL get made eventually.
“How did you take the comic crash?” “It was awful. I was suicidal.” Ha.Ha.
A Touch of Silver was one of favorite books of all time
It's great! I didn't catch the "it's not personal"-remark until I rewatched this episode AFTER watching the McFarlane vs Gaiman episodes.
This is awesome! Jim is one of the smartest people in the industry and his integrity is unquestionable. He's also one of the most laid back, down to earth cat's in the biz. Great interview, guys!
An amazing and wonderful interview, what a lovely person he is.
Shadowhawk is the only original Image book that I have every issue of. Really good series.
You guys are doing great stuff here (including your podcast). Never watched an interview with Jim. He's has some great recollections and insights. One of the best interview subjects I've ever listened to.
Such a great interview. Awesome stories. Seems like a real cool dude.
Great interview, wheres the question on Image United getting finished? Haha thanks guys
a excellent interview and a real fun listen. Thanks gentlemen!
Archie Comics shutting down dark takes of their superhero properties is interesting considered what they'd eventually do with them, nevermind the Archie Horror line.
One of my favorite comic book creators...thanks Ed and Jim for landing this incredibly fun interview!!!
Funny, Liefeld said Moore wanted to work on Supreme and called him up
There is a debate about who actually brought Alan Moore to Image.
Technically they could both be right as long as Jim's pitch of doing the Sups stories got Moore to call Rob.
I still need that Shadowhawk #1 9.8 SS CGC with Jim’s scrawl on that awesome chromium-embossed cover.
Love getting the notifications of a new video!
Great interview and informative. Give you guys props setting these up. Pleasure to watch. Thank you...
Looking forward to listening to this later!
Great interview! I hope to see all the 7 Image guys here! Would be awesome!
Great interview, Valentino is awesome! Huge respect for him and his work.
This is a perfect turn after David Choe dissed Gaurdians of the Galaxy AND Shadowhawk in his shoot interview
Thanks for doing this! Filled in lots of my knowledge gaps:)
I remember reading GOG and not seeing Jim's name left the book the next issue.
Great interview. Guardians and What If? were always must reads for me, right up there with Uncanny and Batman.
Pleeeeease get Marc Silvestri on this platform!!!!! Great shit always you guys. Y’all are so awesome my beautiful black southern fried mama watch some of the interview with me. Making memories. Kudos!!!! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Next go for Marc Silvestri, I have watched this one three times
Shadowhawk was the first comic book superhero to have HIV/AIDS, which ultimately killed him. I don’t think that Shadowhawk could ever be brought back from the dead, because it would be too upsetting to anyone who’s ever lost a loved one to this disease.
Yoooo Jim Valentino!!
On a reserved spot in my shelf are all the normalman comics. I need to double the issue of Journey, which is with my other Journey books in storage. normalman was a formative book for me.
JV touched briefly on the beginnings of the mini-comix movement. I hope we'll see some more coverage before that generation of creators disappears. The Turtles guys, some of the American Splendor guys, and some of the lowbrow guys all put in their time in the "Nuwave" movement. What's interesting is that a lot of the earliest efforts were creating mainstream adjacent material; guys like Tim Corrigan, Larry Blake and Rick McCollum were all essentially doing superheroes, but it was really eccentric like the later Blue Comet books and so fell aesthetically between the news stand and the head shops. Please at least consider the Clay Geerdes interview in Comics Journal, guys.
VALENTINO!!! Legend
What's the name of the book they talk about at 34:00? I've listened a bunch of times and can't make it out.
In hindsight I'm glad the guys split off and formed Image because modern Image produces or has produced some of my favorite books. But let's face it, when the split happened you had a bunch of "hot" (some talented, some not so talented) artists who had alienated writers at Marvel writing a bunch of really awful books with splashy art. With a couple of exceptions those early Image books were terrible. They might have been making bucks but they were awful. I'm glad the company persevered, grew up, and made it beyond the hyperviolence, enormous muscles, pouches, guns, and lack of feet. I'm glad they had a guy like Valentino in the mix.
