Image Week 3 Storytime: Elephantmen

25 years ago a bunch of Marvel artists left the Big Two and decided to form their company, with blackjack and hookers. This company would eventually become the closest to a third competitor for DC and Marvel (lol) and the best known creator-owned comic book company out there.

Now it's time for what I like to call the Pre-Saga era, when Image was trying to shed away their "extreme" 90's self and not many were paying attention to them. There were some break-out hits, but not as much as today.

Next up is what happens when you give a letterer free reign, Richard Starkings' Elephantmen

The Walking Dead:
Invincible:
Chew:
Morning Glories:
Haunt:

I'm amazed this series is still going. People rarely talk about this and the sales don't seem that great.

...

I'm guessing Starkings makes more money off Comicraft, so this is more of a passion project, like Savage Dragon.

...

...

The dude gets my respect for his commitment to this series.

...

For some reason this comic always felt like a european comic and I don't mean that in a bad day. Maybe it's the coloring.
