So John Allison's comics are usually slice-of-life affairs which may or may not have supernatural or paranormal elements. That and his art style means his work, while good, generally doesn't fall into the "badass" category. That said I think this panel from today's Steeple page qualifies.  From Steeple "issue" 20: Extreme Freaks, which sadly is, according to Allison, the last "issue" in the (web)comic.

Air Skwirl posted:Oh poo poo, steeple was continued online? I'll need to catch up. I loved it in floppy. Yeah, in early 2020 Allison continued the Steeple series, occasionally stopping while he worked on other comics, such as Solver, which is basically the continuing adventures of Lottie from Bad Machinery / Wicked Things, on his Forward Slash Scare site. He eventually settled on a 22 page "issue" format, on a 3 page a week schedule, although if you subscribed to his Patreon you would get pdf releases of the comics starting with "issue" 10 Christmas with Clovis. Dark Horse published two more volumes of Steeple, which collected the webcomics, but according to Allison they passed on doing a fourth volume, which was part of his decision to wind up the Steeple series. I've been posting the pages in the Comic Strips thread and Saoshyant has been posting them in their John Allison thread. Here is a link to the Steeple chapter page if you want to catch up. There is also a Gumroad exclusive issue with art by Max Sarin (also available to Allison's Patreon subscribers).

TwoPair posted:How much time can you stay active while denying yourself a social life or any break time before you go insane? 24 hours minus that I remember reading an article that pointed out that when you take in to account all the technology Superman owns (from the Fortress of Solitude), Clark Kent is probably wealthier than Bruce Wayne. On the other hand Wayne has more liquid assets.

So John Allison has been releasing a Conan the Barbarian comic on his website. Here are the final two pages of the first "issue".

So this would have been yesterday's page from Conan: The Blood Egg part 2 by John Allison. Pretty good fight scene for an artist who doesn't draw a lot of fight scenes. Unfortunately Allison got hit with a C&D letter from Conan Properties International a few weeks ago and had to take the comic down, even though as far as Allison could tell Conan is in the public domain in the UK. I only have these pages from when they were up on his Patreon as a pdf when he first released the comic. This also means we won't see the final third issue Allison was working on.

Elfface posted:There are two possible explanations for this. It's been speculated that, legally, Allison was in the clear it just that CPI's lawyers are bigger than Allison's lawyers and Allison didn't want to fight it anyway. Allison also did a Batman webcomic and an X-man webcomic, which have also been taken down but Allison never mentioned getting any C&D from Marvel or DC. I'm guessing Allison got away with those two because they were both short, 22-page comics so by the time the companies noticed he had already finished and posted them, as well the fact that Disney and Time-Warner are both big enough that they felt it might not be worth legal action. Allison probably was contacted by Marvel and/or DC, but more gently than a legal order, since those are comic companies were CPI just holds and limerences the trademark to Conan. They probably told Allison something to the effect of, " Hey, nice comics, but could you please take them down after a while".

Re: BTAS and the censors, in Batman: Animated by Paul Dini & Chip Kidd they gave some insight into it as well as examples of changes they had to make:quote:Some of Batman's greatest conflicts have not been with the Joker or the Riddler, but against a much more excruciating adversary: the censor. Broadcast Standards and Practices (BS&P), ever vigilant to shield America's youth from objectionable program content, closely oversees every script, storyboard, and rough cut, order the omission of action and dialogue they feel is too intesne for the kiddies. Needless to say, theis rarely sits well with the creative staff, chraged with turning out an exciting super hero show week after week. quote:Bruce, the network says it is not their practice to show animal excrement hitting anyone on a children's show. They want us to cut the bat guano landing on Alfred's jacket and send them a fixed version of the episode. quote:Early in the series development a list was made up ob Broadcast Standard and Practices taboos, all of which are lampooned in the accompanying illustration by Bruce Timm. How many network no-no's can you find? (Answers below.) The_Other fucked around with this message at 16:30 on May 11, 2024 |
