Message: [QUOTE="Cuestionador, post: 258082, member: 4875"] Man, that rocks! David Lapham is a favourite of mine, i need to keep reading Stray Bullets. If you like Buscema's work, there's a Hulk story done for Marvel: Shadows and Light in full black and white, one of his last works and one of his best. Buscema in Conan (with or without Alcala's inks) is always a delight, but i have a soft spot for the old Kull the Conqueror title published by Marvel, drawn by John and Marie Severin and sometimes by Bernie Wrightson (who did the adaptation of The Skull of Silence, originally a Conan history). The Severin's are a hell of a team, and a very underrated one considering that both are an important part of comics history. As for Jim Shooter, i remember when Chris Claremont told him the idea for Marada the She-Wolf (originally planned as a Red Sonja graphic novel) and Shooter told him that the idea was too good for Sonja, encouraging him to use a creator-owned character for the project. The man was a complex one, full of lights and shadows, but personally i'm eternally gratefull for giving the keys of Daredevil to a young man from Vermont called Frank Miller. Vertigo was huge in his time, but the last comebacks done in this century where nowhere near as good as the classic era of the imprint. Dark Horse has an imprint called Berger Books, directed by the ex-EIC of Vertigo Karen Berger, who publish new titles like The Seeds (by Ann Nocenti and David Aja) and republish cult classics like Enigma (a must-read by Peter Milligan and Duncan Fegredo) and Air. More info here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.darkhorse.com/Search/Browse/%22Berger%22/PpwNwkt8[/URL] Back in the day, Vertigo published many miniseries (Strange Adventures, Weird War Tales, Flicnh) and one-shots like the Vertigo Visions or Vertigo Voices, there's great stuff in there (Doctor Occult: A Waltz of Scream, Prez: Smell like Teen President and The Geek: Corruption of the Innocent are my favourites), it's really a world to explore, full of great writers and artists. Originally Vertigo was meant to be published by Disney in a imprint called Touchmark, but the project was cancelled and many of the comics planned where published by Vertigo (like The Extremist, another Milligan comic that i love).
