God I'm long overdue a reread.
Honourable mention goes to Shotaro Ishinomoris original draft manga run of KAMEN RIDER, because its great and I'll never get the chance to bring it up again.

Last post by Jim_Campbell - Today at 08:53:34 PMQuote from: Funt Solo on Today at 06:37:51 PMAre sound effects always scripted, or done by the artist, or done by the letterer? It's probably a mixture, right?
Honestly, it's anyone's guess. If the writer puts it in the script, then either the artist or the letterer will usually make sure it ends up on the page. However, artists who like doing SFX may well add their own, or completely change the scripted effect.
Letterers will generally just letter the sound effect per the script. Sometimes, I will edit SFX from the scripted version — writers will often script BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM because it takes up a lot of space in the script. I take that to mean that they want a big 'boom'. If I don't have a lot of horizontal space then I can make BOOOM a lot bigger than BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.
On top of that, the artist will sometimes draw something other than what's in the script. If I've got a KRAKK in the script from a jaw-breaking punch but the artist has given me someone's fist going right through a person's head, then I'm lettering a SKPLUTCH.

Last post by The Legendary Shark - Today at 08:34:16 PMOkay, so this is Jared Bernstein. He is the chair of the United States Council of Economic Advisers and a senior fellow at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. His advice carries great weight. Hear him...
Call me a cynic, but he seems to me a tad overqualified for the job - he is, after all, trying to make sense of the senseless. He'll probably be fired soon because making sense of things isn't his job. It is, after all, hard to make sense of a con without calling it a con, but kudos to him for trying.

Last post by PsychoGoatee - Today at 07:50:11 PMMy fav alternative superhero comic (and the only one needed - if making that call) is known, it's Savage Dragon by Erik Larsen! He's done it all and then some.

Last post by Funt Solo - Today at 06:37:51 PM22 - Judge Dredd Yearbooks
The Judge Dredd Yearbooks matched releases with the 2000 AD Yearbooks (as per Annual tradition), but the gatefolds sort of gave up after the first two. They were still physical gatefolds, but the wider image was just repeated in the both the front and back sections.
Judge Dredd Yearbook 1992 (1991; Dermot Power) - Dredd takes out a cyborg in this gritty cityscape.
---
Judge Dredd Yearbook 1993 (1992; Brendan McCarthy) - a heavily Brit-flavored cover from McCarthy, which echoes a transatlantic tale within. There's also a reprint of seminal tale Atlantis, a one-off Judge Joyce (When Irish Pies Are Smiling, with art by Steve Dillon) and, because they demanded it, the return of the Soul Sisters. If there were awards for sound effects, then it might win with its ZAPPO, FLUTCH, KA-SPLUTCH, THONK, FAP, FLUTCH, FLUTCH, SKREEEEEE, PONK, FOK, KRRAAKK, CREEEEE! (Are sound effects always scripted, or done by the artist, or done by the letterer? It's probably a mixture, right?)
---
Judge Dredd Yearbook 1994 (1993; Mark Wilkinson) - an interesting character mash-up on this one, although Devlin is limited to a text story inside.
---
Judge Dredd Yearbook 1995 (1994; Sean Phillips) - not featured on the cover, but appearing inside are Harmony and Calhab Justice. Hershey looks black here.
---
Judge Dredd Megazine #329 (2012; Brendan McCarthy) - not, clearly, a Yearbook, but included because it's another McCarthy.
---
Next: turbo-boost...

Aye - doing that magic negative space is positive space thing.
Quote from: Barrington Boots on 03 May, 2024, 08:29:48 AMJBC, I'm pretty sure I have the 1992 yearbook in a pile of neglected comics here and after your that post about your love and loss of it I'd love to send it to you.
Aw! This is why we need a [Like Button] - sometimes words are too much.

If Yosser Hughes was indeed the inspiration for Cornelius Cardew, then we have a genuine 2000ad connection here.
