Celebrating the 30th anniversary of Image Comics with these awesome cover recreations by Chris Giarrusso. The covers for Youngblood, Spawn, Savage Dragon, Shadowhawk and Cyberforce were done by Chris in 2012 for Image’s 20th anniversary and he finished the set this year with WildC.A.T.s as a commission.
30 years ago today, Jim Lee was celebrating the release of WildC.A.T.s #1 with a 24-hour cross-country book signing tour, which included Jim Hanley’s Universe in New York and Golden Apple Comics in Los Angeles. The summer of 1992 certainly felt like the Summer of Image Comics as Rob Liefeld, Todd McFarlane, Erik Larsen, Jim Lee, Jim Valentino and Marc Silvestri were out on the convention and retail circuit actively promoting their new titles being published under their shared imprint. It was a great time to be a fan and I’ve enjoyed pulling these comics out of the archives to revisit them for the first time in many years!
30 years ago today, Comics Buyer’s Guide reported the seismic news that the artists behind Marvel’s best-selling comics were leaving the House of Ideas to start their own independent company with the formation of Image Comics. It’s interesting to note that Jim Lee was not named in the initial announcements for the formation of Image, but he ultimately joined the new imprint along with Whilce Portacio and many other great creators during the course of 1992.
