In the early-to-mid 90s, I stumbled into a Green Arrow hole, which led me to Mike Grell’s work on the book, which toward the late 90s, led me to Jon Sable: Freelance. In a short span of time, I collected an absolute ton of Sable comics. While reading them, I also realized that I remembered the VERY short-lived TV series as well.
I don’t think I have the comics anymore. I should rectify that.
The Wolverine of WildC.A.Ts.
The Wolverine of Cyber Force.
When Image Comics started, I bought all the issue #1s from the initial offerings from all the founders. Except for Wetworks and Whilce Portacio. I know very little about Wetworks, but this guy was the only one who wasn’t a gold army robot, and I actually had his toy 2 decades ago. Then, the owner of my then-comic shop played baseball with it behind the store one night.
My other Whilce Portacio story is that while having him sign some comics at a local comic con a few years ago, I sadly was the person to inform him that his former co-creator Steve Gerber had died some years previously.
Jason Young requested Glory for the Liefeld day. I went for the Sophie Campbell version here, since the regular version is pretty generic, and Sophie’s is full of personality and style.
This week is Image Founder’s week on the blog.
