Early Lew Stringer cartoon.

Post by stevezodiac »

I brought home some more items from my storage unit yesterday. Among which was a copy of a fanzine called Chain Reaction from 1983. imagine my surprise when I saw this strip inside the back cover. Funnily enough I have the Crypt box set in my storage. haven't dropped it on my foot yet though. Would sell it on ebay but the postage would be higher than the actual product.

I assume this was published by Marvel, since the Fantastic Four and Galactus appear and Daredevil is mentioned.

As stevezodiac quoth, it was a fanzine, so not a professional publication. Some info on it on Lew's own blog here:

I like Lew's cartoon. The art's different to what I would call his familiar style, but I still like it, it's a nice style, and works well as a short strip. What a coincidence that his strip is relevant to this forum!

I can't for the life of me see what the guy who dropped the boxed set has to complain about. At least his foot will mend eventually. His unfortunate interrogator, on the other hand, is a different kettle of fish, even though he seems perfectly prepared to display the fact that he's got his ar*e on back to front. Any reconstruction surgeons out there fancy this job?

Have found some early Lew Stringer humour from an old Buster (12th September 1981 for collectors). Looks like Jim Watson art.

Hope you made good use out of your 'fee' for the joke Lew, and that you've still got your Buster T-shirt :)

Had to chuckle at 'the Triumph Herald of Galactus'. An obvious joke in retrospect, but I don't think I've come across it before... :D
