The Badger #12

I have read a several issues of The Badger from First Comics over the years. The issues were #14, 19, 36, 43, 48 and 63 for those that would like to know. I like this series because Norbert Sykes, a Vietnam veteran, suffers from multiple personality disorder and the urban masked vigilante known as the Badger is just one of them.

Bill Reinhold did the cover of The Badger #12 (June 1986) that features Norbert crashing into a window while Hodag puts the moves on Daisy (Lord Weterlackus looks on in the background). He also penciled the interior art along with Rick Stasi. Mike Baron, who also created the series, wrote the script titled "Red Snow" while Keith "Kez" Wilson inked. Linda Lessmann was the colorist and Willie Schubert was the letterer.

This issue also features an untitled Zoomtown backup story written by Mike Baron, penciled by Ron Wagner and inked by Gary Martin.

Dollman #3

Hector Gomez did the cover for Dollman #3 (February 1992) from Eternity Comics and was based on the science fiction movie from Full Moon Entertainment starring Tim Thomerson as Brick Bardo, space cop. I really wish Hector did the interior art as well but that went to Marcelo Campos. Bill Spangler wrote the script titled "Midnight Show" that has the Braindead kidnapping Toni, a stripper. The back cover features an advertisement of the movie coming out on video. If you are not familiar with the movie, go see it for it is much better than this issue. I am not surprised that the series only lasted for four issues.

Clive Barker's Nightbreed #3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 12

I am pretty sure that Jim Baikie was the cover artist for Clive Barker's Nightbreed #3 (June 1990), 4 (July 1990), 5 (September 1990), 6 (November 1990), 7 (January 1991) and 8 (March 1991) but I am not too sure about #12 (November 1991). He also did the interior art for #3 and 4 before being replaced by a various artists. Alan Grant and John Wagner were the writers until #5 when D. G. Chichester took over the writing. Epic Comics, an imprint of Marvel Comics, published the series. If you enjoyed the horror movie, then you will enjoy the comic series.

Coyote #3

Jackson Guice was the cover artist and interior penciler for Coyote #3 (September 1983) from Epic Comics, a creator-imprint of Marvel Comics. Steve Englehart wrote the script, Bob Wiacek did the inking and Christie Scheele coloring. "How The Coyote Chased His Tail" finds Slyvester Santangelo in Las Vegas trying to find a spy from Israel before facing the Djinn in the desert.

Jazz Age Chronicles #2

Ted Slampyak did the front and back covers for Jass Age Chronicles #2 (March 1989 as well as the script and the interior artwork. The black and white comic mixes vampires in 1926 Boston. In addition to the main story titled "The Case of the Beguiling Baroness", there is also a text story called "Cafe Noir" featuring Ace Mifflin and a one page mini-mystery also by Ted Slampyak. This three issue series was based on the Call of Cthulu roleplaying game. The comic is still going now online at Jazz Age: The Comics Website.

The Liberty Project #5 And #6

James Fry did the cover and the interior pencils for The Liberty Project #5 (October 1987) that features Crackshot, Burnout, Vibe...er, Slick, Cimarron and Johnny Savage. "How to Take Over A Planet part 1" was written by Kurt Busiek, inked by Doug Hazlewood, colored by Adam Philips and lettered by Mindy Eisman. The Liberty Project team faces aliens and become media darlings.

James Fry, Richard Howell and Stan Woch did the cover of The Liberty Project #6 (November 1987) that features Valkyrie vs Cimarron. Fry once again did the interior pencils while Kurt Busiek wrote "Misery and Gin" that was inked by Doug Hazlewood, colored by Adam Philips and colored by Mindy Eisman. Cimarron travels to Nelson, where people have been going in but not coming out. She meets up with Valkyrie, an aviatrix that flew with Skywolf and Airboy. They find out that someone has been brainwashing the townsfolk.

John Bolton's Halls of Horror #2

Three stories appear in John Bolton's Halls of Horror #2 (June 1985). The first features a caveman named Tumak that leaves his tribe. The second features a version of the Humgoo tale from The Monster Club. The final story is about Father Shandor, a monk turned demon stalker. The stories were scripted by Steve Moore and colored by Tim Smith. John Bolton did the wraparound cover, interior pencils and ink.

"The Curse of the Hellfire Crown" story continues with Dennis Mallonee as writer, Chris Marrinan as penciller, Dell Barras as inker, Marcus David as colorist, Carrie Speigle as letterer, Sean Deming as editor and Catherine "Cat" Yronwode was the editor-in-chief.
