Update for comicography

[badrelgnsf]

Just wanted to let you guys know Steve sent me all of the fox kids magazines and the wizard magazine that sam and max are in. For refrence they are

Wizard Magazine NOV 1997-"strip tease"

Totally fox kids Autumn 1997-"2 page board game"

Totally fox kids Spring 1998-"2 page centerfold" "somethings not right here"

Totall fox kids Summer 1998-"Action figure surgery"

Purcell also sent me a few other things,
A sealed june 1994 Hero illustrated. I dont want to open it so I dont know if it is sam and max related.

Also there is a great comic called

Nocturnals "troll bridge"

Steve did some great art on some of this.

[badrelgnsf]

Far as I can see just the back cover and the inside page. It has the girl doll from the toybox series. Great back cover. I dont know if he penciled the other stuff or not I cant find much on this comic. I can scan it if you wish. I also opened that magazine and sure enough there sits sam and max on page 94 and 95. Sort of a superhero biography fact file. Tells all sorts of stuff like height weight eyes hair, base of operations. A funny part of it is "the somewhat pathetic villains of sam and max" Also there is a picture of Purcell on the bottom left.
This magazine is called
Hero Illustrated #12 June 1994

If you find any info on it let me know. I can also scan these pages.

[Scummbuddy]

go buy this and scan the 3 pages for us, please:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=77&item=2292136207&rd=1

[badrelgnsf]

Yes it is, and dont buy that. You can get critters #19 for about 1$ not 8$. I hate people ripping others off. Just check local shops and if no luck there go to milehighcomics or mycomicshop

[badrelgnsf]

Anime... ahh yes. Well I do like my cartoons, but most anime is way too over the top for me. Yea comic shops dont know crap about purcell or even sam & max for that matter. It took me 6 days to finally find a comic shop that even knew of them.

[AndrewL]

how did you get him to send you all of that?

[badrelgnsf]

Cool, about time someone did this.

Dont know if you have this on but there is an oakland CA book with a 1 page bio on steve and sam n max are on there too. I will try to get a pic of it sent soon, I have other stuff too I need to send pics of. Some REAL cool stuff.
Also he told me he did HERO 1-6 not 1-4
Also again :P I found a site while trying hard to look for more purcell stuff and he did some early D&D covers, here is the site

http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?...&creatorid=6581

And i read he had some involvement with "fish police" comics
And you forgot "amazing high adventure #5" that he penciled...yet another animax but i own it :P
He also did the back cover on "Marvel comics presents #42"
He had part in "Wolverine #55"
and "X marvel #21" as penciler
Also just read about inking in "Mr. Monster's super duper special #1-#5"
"superman man of steel gallery" inkin was also rumored to be done by purcell
Heck thats a load for now,
Let me know if u need more info I probably have some more not listed
Dont forget fox kids and that wizard mag too :P ill try to get any pics u need just let me know !

[Jake]

Holy ****. I'll steal this and put it up on the site sometime in the next two or three years.

[badrelgnsf]

I sent a message to steve about the hero comics a while ago, here was his response


Hello Steven--

I've been on vacation and didn't get your mail until now. Yeah, I did
the
penciling on those Hero comics and I would best describe them as
"unremarkable". I don't even have a set of them myself. So that's the
scoop.
Take care,

Steve

I had asked about hero 1-6 he never said himself he didnt do 6 but he also never said he didnt. Ill dig up more but u might want to look at the GCD for some info on steve purcell, I got alot from there. Ill be in touch soon.

[badrelgnsf]

Ok folks I have a few pics from my collection and will be getting more soon. I forgot to add one to the list last round so lets do that first, Ill scan the purcell page from it ASAP.
"Superman the man of steel gallery" page 21, pretty cool superman drawing. Also he did a
pic in a comic called "Paper museum" look below.

ok now for the scans, know that photobucket makes them horrid compared to the scans so if you need or want larger better versions email or message me.

Well more to come and if you need anymore scans LET ME KNOW :P also if u have any info on more stuff NOT listed let gerbil or myself know !
Hero comics are on the way too. 1-6 Ill let u know.

[toenail1]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...ldire/SmTee.jpg


I always wanted that t-shirt. I envy you

[badrelgnsf]

Ive always hated milehighs prices. I found differnet worlds for 3$ locally same with snake pipe hollow. Working on the beastiary right now, but they are asking 13$ per when you can get them at second hand d&d stores for less than 5$. If i get desperate Ill buy those but for now im still looking for Genertela, Crucible of the Hero Wars since the cover is badass. Someday soon I hope to make a purcell site mabye you could help with the info. Any other scans or anything you need ? let me know
Thanks for the info!

[badrelgnsf]

Then I guess its time to squeeze the original fruit for info. Ill try to email purcell though I think he is in LA at the moment doing that 8bit thing, mabye not. Ill let u know. If anything else pops up let me know .

[badrelgnsf]

Just an update for the Hero comics, I bought them all and emailed Steve himself about it, here is what he said

Q: In the comic series Hero,
did you do all covers 1-6 or just 1-5.


A: "I penciled all those Hero issues and penciled and inked all the covers."

Steve Purcell

He did not give any new info on other items however but I came across a few things ill try to scan over the next few days.

[Jake]

Quick note: I split the Gerbil and badrelgnsf stuff into its own thread. It's located here (http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=160711).

[SyntheticGerbil]

I cleaned this up and updated it, if you guys ever want to put all this information on the website, then I will be happy to scan the covers of whatever comics I have so that you can avoid using scans with Mile High's watermark (assuming a lot of these links still even work.)

I didn't collect anything Steve Purcell didn't write though nor did I buy anything he contributed covers or artwork for.

[Jake]

Holy crap.

[badrelgnsf]

?

Heya jake :P

whats the holy crapo for?

[Shmargin]

The update for the list?

Hey I remember you!

[itchythesamurai]

Nostalgia-fest! Yeah, I should talk to Metallus about this list business. The Unofficial direly needs content.

[Shmargin]

No, no. Thats just a temp page that is waiting for Jake to do something with it.

(lol)

[itchythesamurai]

Don't blow our cover, Shmargin!

[SyntheticGerbil]

Hey guys, I don't know how to wiki, nor do I have time to learn beyond vandalism to get my giggles, but if you want to use the list I have up there for information, it would be better to have it published somewhere important instead of buried in a forum!

[Harald B]

Have you seen the List of Sam & Max stories (http://samandmax.net/wiki/List_of_Sam_%26_Max_stories) page at the wiki yet? The bulk of that info is taken from the old comicography and this thread. Let me know if there's anything missing or wrong with it and I'll fix it up.
I'm keeping this thread in mind in case we need any covers, but I think we're good for the moment. I'll think about what to do with the non-Sam & Max comics by Steve Purcell. Some of that stuff could go on the Steve Purcell page if nothing else.

[badrelgnsf]

dun dun dun.. hey gerbil long time..
harald nice.. glad we all could help..thought this thread died with gerbil and i's comedy hour lol
