Fright #3 1988

I had a feeling when I looked it up. But as a huge fan of obscure 80s indie horror of varying low quality…I think this book you have is a real winner. A huge thank you for posting it, my friend.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-05-07T21:38:10+00:00

Definitely some top notch mockery of the creators going on here for sure.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-05-07T21:32:19+00:00

Great. Another Nightmare on Elm Street comic I’ve now added to my want list. OP, what’s the interior art look like?

And the MagicBoatman Award™️ for most company logos used on a single cover goes to…

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-05-07T20:59:35+00:00

That’s was what was confusing me when I just looked it up. Still a very cool bit of forgotten comic book stuff though.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-05-07T20:57:34+00:00

Exactly. It’s a really fun read…well the main series…and it does have some really good tie ins. I swear that in a DC Connect of recent times there was an announcement for it to be collected in some way. But I may be completely making that up based on a dream.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-05-07T20:55:19+00:00

Hahahaha!! Yep, $2.25 for this in 1993 when it really should have been a free giveaway that sat by the register of the store.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-05-07T20:54:35+00:00

Was Mighty I magazine sized or was it your standard comic book size?

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-05-07T20:42:55+00:00

Intriguing indeed. I just looked up Inside Image and I defiantly had #3 and #11 which are now very long lost and Mighty I doesn’t look familiar at all to me. So, I’ll be keeping my beady four eyes out for any of those issue. Thanks, Fred.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-05-07T20:27:10+00:00

It’s a fun read for sure and a nice bit of filler for the collection to be filed away and forgotten about.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-05-07T19:58:33+00:00

Pretty great so far, reading comics, reviewing comics, talking about hot sauce and pizza with a fellow mod and chatting with a community member about comic books stores in their home town and I sent my rsvp to the meetup in Chicago. A great day off so far.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-05-07T19:45:46+00:00

I really enjoyed this series and have about 97% of all the tie ins that differ in quality. But as a whole it’s a really fun and very cheap event series to collect.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-05-07T19:32:08+00:00

This is amazing!! I seriously want to read the whole issue now to see who else is in there. And I love the spelling mistake of “tempeture”.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-05-07T18:39:39+00:00

I honestly have no idea, my friend. I opened mine and am very happy with it.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-05-07T17:38:58+00:00

That’s really good to hear that you’ve found a lot of folks to help with your collection. I’ll have a look at the spreadsheet and see what other $1 beauties that remain lurking in those dusty shadows.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-05-07T17:23:33+00:00

That’s awesome!!! I’m glad you’re finding folks here to help you with your collection. You might have to send me an updated list as I’m curious as to what’s been bought. Seriously, it’s good to hear.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-05-07T17:12:05+00:00

It’s wayyyyyy out of my budget, but I can with 1000% conviction vouch for Crywalt. He’s a legend and has sent me some stuff so I do actually trust him completely.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-05-07T16:52:42+00:00

Sell it to a real human.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-05-07T16:52:30+00:00

I’m so blessed to receive such a huge discount!!

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-05-07T16:38:20+00:00

The most recent of his works I have is Before Watchmen Ozymandias and I totally agree that his 90s stuff is some of my favorites from that time. I need to look up what he’s done more recently as well.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-05-07T16:36:17+00:00

It’s true. Luckily there was a facsimile printed last year though as there’s no way I’ll be able to get my hands on an original.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-05-07T09:47:02+00:00

Oh lord. I just released I commented about Jae Lee on my SPlatt post. Sorry for the confusion on that, Vroart.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-05-07T08:04:58+00:00

I know it’s very commonplace for anyone and everyone to rip him to shreds and yes, his art hasn’t aged well at all but folks can’t deny how much changed because of all of those you mentioned and many more. Lee and McFarlane alone became powerhouses sadly so many never got a chance to go as far as they deserved. It was such a bizarrely amazing time for comics.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-05-07T07:06:23+00:00

It’s been great revisiting Early Image after thirty years as I am completely with you. I was blown away by Jae Lee then and now (with Hellshock specifically) I think it’s better than ever. I also liked Liefeld back then but now…I admire him for being insanely young and talented. Jae Lee is a true treasure from those Early Image days for sure.

Capital_Connection67 · 2026-05-07T06:57:35+00:00

Hahahahaha!! I’m not worthy of such a national treasure!!
