Whoa!! It's... GRIM REMAINS!

Here's all 5 pages of the bizarre and brilliant Grim Remains (See previous post) by Hunt Emerson. Hunt has given me permission to post this up. Thanks Hunt!

So, enjoy it!

It's a rare treat.
 

Dogman ad & Female Machine Spot Illo...

You can probably still buy Dogman, from ebay, or somewhere, but I've never seen this ad anywhere other than the fanzine that I clipped it from years ago. It's one of my favourite Hunt Emerson cartoons. Likewise, the strange Female Machine... Wish I had the originals to these! If you're sellin' 'em, I'm buyin'!

Comix Plus Cover by Hunt Emerson

From 1977. This one still knocks me out when I look at it. A great fanzine cover. I used to look at this for hours on end...

Hunt - Self Portrait!

...I think that this was a self-portrait. It's the verso of the BEM cover posted a while ago on this Blog.

Streetcomix! Ad

Streetcomix was a great publication from Birmingham's Arts Lab Press, spearheaded by Hunt Emerson et al. This is one of Hunt's ads from a comics fanzine, c. 1978

Forever People Ad by Hunt Emerson

This is an ad for the old comic shop by Hunt Emerson from a c. 1977 fanzine. I scanned the whole page to show how Hunt's cartoons stood out from the crowd even then!

Steve Gibson 1985 "Alien" Portfolio

The early part of '85 was a bit slow for me with just some shitty commercial art jobs to put food on the table. I found an old Mad paperback and some Wally Wood EC stuff and did this portfolio.

Teenage Lab Monkey

Here's part of a comic strip. Not strictly from the '70s or '80's but an autobiographical piece. (Hey stop snoring over there!) I'm not a big fan of autobiographical comics, except Crumb and sometimes Chester Brown or David B. I've nothing against autobiography, I just like strong images and visual metaphors and most autobiographical comics don't deliver that.

Frankenplug Unplugged!

More sophisticated humour...
