5 Comics That Explain The 90s | SIDEBAR FOREVER
from Sidebar Forever Hosted by Hosted by Dwight, Swain & Adrian
In the third installment of our ‘5 Comics That Explain’ series, we G-ride to the 1990s. The conversation includes Spawn #1 and the meteoric rise of Image Comics, the death (and inevitable return) of Superman in issue #75 and the ‘Bad Girl’ craze led by scantily-clad characters such as Lady Death and Shi. We also cover the landmark mini-series DC’s ‘Kingdom Come’ with the sterling art of Alex Ross; as well as give the nod to Neil Gaiman’s ‘Sandman’ and becoming the bedrock of DC’s late imprint, Vertigo. Lastly, we give honorable mention to the 8 million selling ‘X-Men’ #1 by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee, the reality-bending ‘Maxx’ by Sam Kieth and the breath of diversity from Milestone Comics. As always, thanks for listening.
