A quick thread on back issues, ennui regarding characters, and helping out your local comic shop during these perilous times. So my favorite art book based on a comics artist is THE ART OF JOCK published by @insighteditions
Now I& #39;m going through this book for like the 50th time and this time I really pay attention to the section where the artist reveals he did a SAVAGE WOLVERINE arc for @Marvel
Now real talk, I am 50 years old, I have been reading comics with Logan since UNCANNY X-MEN #112 dropped in 1978. Now I& #39;m about to say something blasphemous.
I am fuggin& #39; TIRED of Logan. I have lots of fond memories of him, but I love Laura more. I& #39;m weird. I like change.
But when a unique voice like that of @Jock4twenty does a finite Wolverine story, that intrigues me because I know it will be OFF THE CHAIN.
So I go to Amazon ONLY TO CHECK THE TPB DETAILS NOT TO GIVE BEZOS MOOOOORE MONEY, and turns out the arc comes with other stories that I have no awareness of, and thus a limited interest.
So then I think to myself "Wait. What if @Mrbulletproof1 has the original issues???"
So I text the owner, friend and good all-around member of the community Hank Kwon, and I send him these images to ask if he has the issues.
He says he has them!!! In storage. So he& #39;ll have them for me next week, to charge my card and mail them out.
So if there is a omic book story you would love to read right now, check with your LCS. They may have it! A win-win for everyone. Comics are great. Retailers are our people. Let& #39;s find some new memories in the infinite world of back issues.
P.S. Wolverine says "Hi." https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😁" title="Grinning face with smiling eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Grinning face with smiling eyes">
