Chew The Fat: Splashing Outside the Main Stream!


Martinex1: Today, let's keep it simple and just chew the fat.  There are many comics that don't fall in my mainstream.  Likewise I am sure there are comics you have never tried for some reason. Even if the comics were published by Marvel, DC, Charlton, Archie, or Harvey, I may have missed some classics.  So make some recommendations outside of the "regular" targets of BitBA.  Below are a handful of examples to get your mind churning.  Tell us all what we should try and why.  Or ask about some titles you have always wondered about.   Direct us to some outliers we should read and make your case for the next comic book we should have in the stack. Cheers!

Two Questions: The Influence of Art and the Fall of Westerns!

Martinex1: Here are two random new questions to ponder and respond to.  Hopefully they get your mind to wander on a cold Winter day.

QUESTION 1: How important an influence was the great art (from the likes of John Byrne, Gene Colan, and George Perez) to the success of stories penned by prolific writers like Len Wein, Ralph Macchio, Marv Wolfman, David Michelinie and Mark Gruenwald?

(Thanks to our friend Doug for inspiring question #1).

QUESTION 2:  Is there still life in the Western genre or has it truly been left in the past?
