For art's sake: Tony De Zuniga's Jonah Hex (in black and white)

For art's sake: Epic Comics in the Year 1987

Advertisements for other comic books reached some kind of creative zenith in the 1980s, and Epic was no exception.

For art's sake: Frozen (one of 100 horrors)

Paul Chadwick's 100 Horrors short comics, which used to run in the back of his Concrete books, never got close to the magic 100 numbers before the artist moved on, but they were suitable eerie, with some nightmarish and simple tales of terrible things happening. And sometimes they were just bloody funny, (the one with a falling star is a cracker).

This one was always my favourite, and still sticks in my mind as a particularly dreadful way for the human race to go out. (Click on the images to actually read the darn thing.)

For art's sake: Look at what Cam Kennedy can do
