ParanoidObsessive 09/02/18 4:18:05 PM #8:	Krow_Incarnate posted... and some that were ran in a magazine in.... the 70's, I believe? Those are the Marvel ones. Basically, Marvel did a bunch in a black-and-white magazine in the 70s (which actually lasted until the 90s), along with a color comic book (which also started in the 70s and ended in the 90s). Then they lost the license to the franchise, and Dark Horse picked it up in the early 2000s, and printed comics right up to the beginning of this year. Marvel actually just got the license back, though I don't think they've done anything with it yet. Red Sonja is more or less in the same boat - she started as a character spun out of Conan when Marvel was doing the comic back in the 70s, and Marvel ran a comic with her in the 70s and 80s, but then she was sort of in limbo until Dynamite started doing a new comic a few years ago. Kull the Conqueror is another character in that mold, and Marvel ran a comic with him in the 70s and 80s, and Dark Horse did a new comic with him in the mid-2000s. Robert E. Howard was a damned prolific writer in the very short period (less than a decade) he was writing, and a LOT of his stuff wound up getting picked up by comic books. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:907988568] in I'm starti...

I think you had to be 16 or 17 to get Savage Sword and Tomb of Dracula. Tomb of Dracula was another favorite (70s-80s were my comics heyday). Marvel also came out with a magazine called EPIC which was like Heavy Metal. I think that was 18+ IIRC. I went from Savage Sword to the original Conan novels by Howard so by the time the movies came out I was a bit jaded. Couldn't get into the movies.

Then they spun it off into an entire sub-line of comics that were deliberately non-Code and creator owned. The success of the idea is part of what eventually led them to drop the Code entirely, and what inspired DC to later do the Vertigo brand after Marvel sort of let Epic wither and die. But while it was a going thing in the 80s, it actually churned out a few pretty good titles. Marvel had a lot of sub-brands in the 80s. They also went the complete opposite way with the Star line, which were all for super-young kids (with stuff like Spider-Ham and the Care Bears), and the New Universe line (which was there attempt to do something like what they later did with the Ultimate line).

Almost everything we know about characters in those franchises in their original incarnation comes mainly from Marvel - or more specifically, Larry Hama (GI Joe) and Bob Budiansky (Transformers). Also for those who don't know, the early GI Joe comics were really, really good - most people at the time praised them for being way better than the cartoon (which itself was pretty damned good), and a lot of ideas from it (like Snake-Eyes being everyone's favorite character, Storm Shadow eventually switching sides, and the entire backstory between the two) wound up getting carried over into later versions of the franchise.

Almost everything we know about characters in those franchises in their original incarnation comes mainly from Marvel - or more specifically, Larry Hama (GI Joe) and Bob Budiansky (Transformers). Also for those who don't know, the early GI Joe comics were really, really good - most people at the time praised them for being way better than the cartoon (which itself was pretty damned good), and a lot of ideas from it (like Snake-Eyes being everyone's favorite character, Storm Shadow eventually switching sides, and the entire backstory between the two) wound up getting carried over into later versions of the franchise. <cite>Kyuubi4269 posted...</cite> <quote><cite>SilverClock posted...</cite> <quote><cite>keyblader1985 posted...</cite> <quote>But he's still in a kid's body after 24 years!</quote> Am I the only one who got that reference??

Seconding the nod for the G.I. Joe comics in general and Larry Hama in particular. The dude had one of the longest runs in all of Marvel as a writer on that comic, and he may or may not have passed Chris Claremont's run on the X-Men. (I'd have to look up the specifics.)
