I remember seeing Wonder Wart-Hog for the first time and not being sure what to make of it. I had seen some underground comics before but they usually stayed away from superhero fare. Here was a cross between the traditional stories that I was used to, and the strange world of the black and white independent comix scene. That's a line that would get more and more blurred as my comic reading went on, and it was cool to see that there could be such a different take on the superhero genre.
nice.
ReplyDeleteWill we be seeing Robert Crumb's Mr. Natural anytime soon then? Wouldn't be awesome to see him paired with someone like Lobo for instance!?!!
ReplyDeleteNever did read any Mr. Natural, not sure what his deal was. Some kind of hippie philosopher?
ReplyDeleteCrumb's dazzling, psychedelic visual images would be a challenge to work with.
ReplyDeleteWonder Wart-hog! About time.
ReplyDeleteThe two WWH crossovers I've been dying most to see:
ReplyDeleteCerebus, the other most popular earth-pig comic character (and possibly his ancestor);
Megaton Man, who has a very similar physique.
