Nothing legally actionable . An immature lout , crass and the creep factor was high.

Ironically , if he ( or some other comic artist ) was guilty of Manslaughter, and got out in 7 years he would have been accepted back into comic society.- depending who he/she had killed in self defense.. with open arms..
There have been other Artists and writers Cancelled , mostly due to who they vote for politically, or if they are old seasoned vets of the industry.or if they are " mean "
Professional comics creators should not lose their jobs for wearing the wrong political hat, religion , and be replaced by less younger, Untalented , overtly pushing " the message " and crap on the fans of said industry.

It really does come down to that old adage .... Judge the art not the artist.And if people can't then ignore the jerk and then don't buy his/ or her stuff. For me : If Stalin and Hitler worked on a comic series from 1938 till 1945 about Slavic and Northmen Vikings journing thru a medieval wasteland lasting 45 issues until the council of GODZ comes down from the machine to destroy them- I'd pick up a few copies and check it out.

Ed Piskor was not Frank Miller or Jim LEE.- just a comics lover, Comics historian, artist, writer who had to work hard to ACTUALLY make a living in the here and now-- the near bottom of the barrel of industry right now - but he did it.

And now he;s dead. Cancelled


Guys better then Piskor like Robert Crumb are many of these vapid labels and he still is alive and well.
Until he wasn't aloud to do it any longer. So now he's gone - and the cancel pigs who helped corner him using social media and internet " helped " make it happen]]> G.A.W.

While certain works of literature would have us believe that there are seven sins, there is actually only one sin.

Selfishness. Every other sin is actually just a form of selfishness.

It is because of one or more of the many forms of selfishness that have become more endemic in recent years that toxicity is allowed to thrive.]]> nijineko General Discussion Sat, 27 Apr 2024 16:03:42 -0600 https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,86087,86091#msg-86091 Re: !950's versions of films- movie trailers https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,86087,86091#msg-86091 nijineko General Discussion Sat, 27 Apr 2024 15:59:00 -0600 https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,24004,86090#msg-86090 Re: Is there anyone alive here ... here .. here ( echo ) https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,24004,86090#msg-86090

Now, anything that says it is a different edition, etc. is not from those scans. It's a good thing there are unaltered, full resolution scans in a few people's hands, as this site has optimized, lower resolution ones.

I haven't been on this forum in months, if not longer, and the first thing I run into is a Nightmask post.

It's not new - I took the text from Marvel Supers revised (1991) and added art/different layout



There are things that I might (and might still) have done different but it came out ok, all things considered



Art from all eras, just to celebrate this classic game and as an educational/nostalgia project. Pretty sure most people on here own a copy of the original.

I really enjoyed Dog Soldiers. There were plans for a series of 'Private Cooper movies' where he runs across various supernatural beings - Vampires, Frankenstein's Monster, etc. - but it was never picked up.

One thing I didn't care for in the werewolf look was the hairlessness. The heads looked wicked-cool, but the skinny, hairless bodies - with furry feet, no less - kinda sucked!

Is there a reason you put the werewolves Resources at, "...at least Gd (10)"? I mean, they had a pretty nice house and farm n the Highlands, but it was a Family Farm. I don't disagree that they probably had Good Resources, but why did you mention it specifically?

And Cooper was a Private.
