The History Of Comics With Q-boy #58 The Painstaking Pursuit To Visit The Virtuoso (Censored)

qbs58

I decided to make this comic black and white because it is entirely based on “The Spirit” by Will Eisner which I think usually looks best in black and white. I gotta admit that I may have tried to cram too much into one page. Oh well… So let’s get to the panels…

That it for this one. Next time we run into my other character who we haven’t seen in a bit “The Bastardized Ninja” ( who’s adventures you can check out here http://qr.net/bUZ8a . Check out new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” on Tuesday-Thursday. Hope you enjoy and see ya next time!

The character Ron Rankenfile is based on the comic book artist Jim Steranko, and the panels of this comics are based on his work. On “Wikipedia” he’s described as “an American graphic artist, comic book writer/artist, historian, magician, publisher and film production illustrator. His most famous comic book work was with the 1960s superspy featureNick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.” inMarvel Comics’”Strange Tales” and in the subsequent eponymous series. Steranko earned lasting acclaim for his innovations in sequential art during the Silver Age of Comic Books, particularly his infusion of surrealism, op art, and graphic design into the medium”.  In this story I wanted to capture the idea that this he was truly a multi-talented person. On to the panels…

  • Panels 1-3 are based on 3 panels from “Nick Fury, Agent Of S.H.I.E.L.D.” 1 which you can see here http://qr.net/bRgMM
  • Panel 4 is based on the cover of “Nick Fury, Agent Of S.H.I.E.L.D.” 7 which you can see here http://qr.net/bRgN7
  • Panel 5 is based on the cover of “Creatures On The Loose” 22 which you can see here http://qr.net/bRgQ2
  • Panel 6 is based on the cover of “Strange Tales” 153 which you see here http://qr.net/bRgSm
  • Panels 7-10 are based on panels from “Captain America” 110 which you can see here http://qr.net/bRgUX

That’s it for this one. Next time we catch up with Q-boy’s ex-girlfriend Helen Seabrook AKA Miss Direction in an adventure that involves America-Man and introduces us to the man known as Dick Anger.  Look out for a special Independence Day “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” as well as the normally schedules comics on Tuesday-Thursday. Have a great Independence Day everyone! Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Q-boy Short #48 The Drunken Master Or The ODB Of The Group / The History Of Q-boy Part 46 (Censored)

Flint Henry is based on Fletcher Hanks.  Fletcher Hanks was an artist in the very early days of comics who wrote and drew some really whacked out stories.

The site “Dangerous Minds” has an article ( which you can check out here http://dangerousminds.net/comments/the_astonishingly_incompetent_superhero ) that describes how “Hanks drew superhero comics for a terribly short time—1939 to 1941—before dropping off the map altogether. It’s a bit of a miracle that we have so many of his comics in print, and much of that is due to the heroic labors of Paul Karasik”.  It adds that “In 2007 Karasik publishedI Shall Destroy All The Civilized Planets!” and in 2009You Shall Die By Your Own Evil Creation!“” which collects pretty much all of his comics.  The article also states that “I Shall Destroy All The Civilized Planets”  “contains a 16-page comic by Karasik about discovering Hanks’ work and meeting with his (it turns out) estranged son”.  This story clearly shows that Hanks was an abusive drunk, who ended up abandoning his family and freezing to death.

The article goes on to add that “Hanks’ work had two primary characters, “Stardust the Super Wizard” and “Fantomah the Mystery Woman of the Jungle,” and a host of less interesting characters like Space Smith, Big Red McLane, and Whirlwind Carter”.  In the article Karasik is quoted as saying that “part of the fascination Hanks exerts is that he is a rare early case of a true auteur, a comics artist who “wrote, penciled, inked, lettered, and, I think, colored his work”.

I’ve read I Shall Destroy All The Civilized Planets!” and “You Shall Die By Your Own Evil Creation! and honestly I think only the Stardust comics are even “so crazy their good” good, and even those start to get stale especially when Stardust gets a bunch of kid sidekicks.  Still there’s something interesting about seeing these angry weird tales  that were made before the “rules” for making comics were established.

Anyways that’s that for this week. Next time we see Flint Henry’s Q-boy story.  Tuesday- Thurday there will be new Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations.  Hope you enjoy and see ya next time!

Some of you may be new and only have seen The Big Ol’ Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations 24 Hourly Comics Jamboree Spectacular on Hourly Comics Day and Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations which started last week so welcome to Q-boy Shorts.  I really wish I could say I was smart enough to have planned that this comic featuring a guy called “The Reluctant Romantic” and involving a date ended up being posted on Valentine’s Day, but sadly I’m not.  So anyways Paulie Damiko is based on comic artist John Romita who took over drawing Spider-Man after Steve Ditko.

Panel one is based on this cover to “Our Love Story #4” a romance comic drawn by John Romita. And the “waay out of your league” line in Panel 3 is based on the big reveal of Mary Jane in Amazing Spider-Man #42 which will be referenced again in the next Q-boy Short comic. Speaking of the next comic next time there’s heartbreak when Q-boy meets a new girl.  Have a happy V-day, don’t be reluctant with your romance, and see ya again with Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations Tuesday-Thursday.

And so we start this year with the first post of 2016.  The subject of this comic, Melvin Wilcox, is based on artist and Spider-Man c0-creator, Steve Ditko.  As suggested by this comic Ditko is a very private person and big on the ideas of Objectivism .

Panel 3 has poses based on the cover of Thor #160 and the cover of The Amazing Spider-Man #19

Panel 4 is based on this page from Strange Tales #116

Next time Q-boy must overcome a great burden… That’s a pretty big hint if you know your famous Spider-Man stories.  Anyways hope you enjoy and see you next time!
