It must have been nearly 30 years ago I stumbled upon Richard Corben's work.
It's all the fault of the local library. While I was familiar with his Lone Wolf game book covers already at this time, but not the actual artist responsible for them, I started to connect the dots when first encountering his work when he collaborated with Harlan Ellison on the Vic & Blood adaptation.
There was no turning back after that.
At some point my brother and I found a video at that same library, part of a series, that focused on famous comic artists of the time. There was a part on Corben, on Den, along with many other artists that I can't remember- I tracked the video down once on Youtube years ago, but have since had no such luck. I know there was a spotlight on Juan Gimenez's work as well.
Back to this book- it's an impressive touch up to say the least. It gives the feeling of what it would have been like to discover this when it was new and fresh, something I'll always be envious of.
Big props to Dark Horse for putting this back out into the world. Shame Corben himself wasn't able to see and appreciate his work being made available to a new generation of fans.
