Diane Valentino lettered both stories. She is credited on the 2nd printing. The lettering seems the same as the first printing to my eye
Jim & Ed. Thank you for running the best channel on comics on TH-cam. Secondly, thanks for this wonderul trip down memory lane. I've been rereading a lot of 90s stuff the last couple of months, especially Spawn and Spidey. I wasn't so much into Youngblood back then, but I read Liefeld's X-Force. And I remember being an excited comic book nerd when Image started.
Man I was 11 years old and my father owned a baseball card comic book store then. It was a great time to be into this, huge valiant fan and then Image. I also played Magic the gathering in those days. I love how you guys nerd out it makes me go back in time and think the same things.
I want some modern action figures of the “Home Team”. Give me a Chapel, Shaft, Diehard, and Badrock! Uncle Rob, please!
I would love to see an Image Founders Shoot Interview. Image comics was the biggest game changer in my comics experience (dating back to 1990). Love what you guys do.
“He’s out with his girlfriend and he turns into that!” I started dying Shaft really did look inhuman
I kept hoping you'd do this! Please do more early Liefeld issues- Brigade, Bloodstrike, Prophet!
Yes!!!! I am actually jumping with joy to see this review. Its not going to be pretty but its certainly landmark book
30 years. Man how time flies
"These are MY comics old man" hahaha that line cracked me up
I absolutely love Ed's cover for Hulk Grand Design.
Watching now on my way to the gym. Really excited about this one, guys. “Changed my trajectory” is such a great way to mention how Image comics shifted my idea of what was possible in a comic.
I read comics for fun and back in the day this was a blast.
I still have this issue as well as the Youngblood trading cards
Erik Larsen and Rob on Rob podcast said that image was just a "let's try" and nobody was really angry with marvel.
I had to hunt all over the greater Pittsburgh metro area, 25 miles from my hometown in West Virginia for this issue. I found it at a small baseball card shop in a dirt mall north of the city. They kept a small rack of comics for the speculators. It was one of the rare moments when you hold something that represents the start of something new. Like Spawn #1 or Jim Lee’s X-Men #1. Fun time to be a comic book fan.
Feb. 2nd Image Timeline comes out at the LCS by Valentino.. must get for me
Thanks for this historic overview! I still have mine from my mullet days, but I couldn't tell you what was in it! Also, thanks for the Concrete shout out! One of my favorite indies back then! Last year I picked up a Dark Horse Presents 1 and Concrete 1 just in honor of it! Cheers!
Pre-ordered TWO copies of Hulk Grand Design because ya gotta have that sweet, sweet Piskor variant
Probably my favorite comic of all time!
How about next Youngblood series, give it to Milligan and Allred orrrr... if not Allred, Michel Fiffe?
An Allred Youngblood run would be so goddamn cool.
Am I losing my mind or was this posted before? I remember Ed cutting promos on Hank Kanalz's dialogue in the scene between Chapel and his girlfriend. Granted, the dialogue gives plenty of opportunities to cut promos, so I could be wrong.
Psifire is such a 90s codename lol. Pretty cool though
Diehard with the Crotch Comet!!!
Yeah Kayfabe!
Page 6 on the away team side always looked like it was inked by Erik Larsen to me. At least part of it.
Yes looks like Larsen on page 6 he even used a little zip a tone on the page
I seem to remember the lettering being smaller than traditional comic letters. Anyone else?
Youngblood, Linkara's favorite comic book 😏
Was there a cartoonist a generation above the image dudes that would have been the impetus for what we all call "jim lee" lines?...I'm not super versed in popular mainstream artists of the 60s and 70's outside of kirby/ditko/steranko..even the most manic line people like crumb or romita sr still seemed tighter and more traditional with hatching...dying to know what the 90s dudes all saw coming up that informed them
Probably Barry Windsor Smith would be the closest guy to create those kinds of textures.
@@CartoonistKayfabe makes perfect sense! i could see BWS & heavy metal paving the way for a whole generation of that outlaw comic style line work coming to the forefront
always a sucker for coverage on image stuff like everyone else who grew up in the 90s, thanks guys!
Was never a fan of early Image but they've grown to be my top publisher now with so many great titles
Although I now see Liefeld’s work as flawed and lacking fundamental drawing concepts, his comics, at that time, were astonishing. Give credit where credit is due - Rob Liefeld and Image ushered in a new age of comics and spawned numerous copy cats and a whole generation of fanboys.
Thanks for an amazing video. Cheers.
WooHoo!
Psyfire became a woman later on. I can't remember what caused the transformation
Hahah what a coincidence…I just bought it this monday and Started collecting the Series :)
