I had a shop when these books came out and if I remember right I could only sell a few copies of each issue. What a shame. I forgot how awesome this comic was. Thanks for putting it back on my radar!
This is amazing. Definitely will be on the look-out for these over here.
fucking masterpice!
I don't know if I ever got issue 4. This series was brilliant and under appreciated. With all that was going on in the 90s, i was dumbfounded that this series wasn't huge; masterful artist going indie; dinosaurs — I don't get it. The rendering was next level. I met Steve in 96 (95?) on the Spirit of Independence Tour here in Canada. What a great guy. I hope he's doing well and making more Tyrant in secret.
Tyrant is one of those series that I always heard about but never managed to get a hold of. Thanks for the vid, fellas! Maybe your videos will spark that fire under Bissette to finish it while he's still capable.
Also, might I also direct fellow viewers to Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal. It's amazing. Second season just dropped recently.
I did not know about this comic and the author. I think, Ricardo Delgado took on this style, not a copy, just the genre.
Please make that nice oversized hardcover edition of this!!
This is sooo goood!
I’d back an OHC of Tyrant on Kickstarter
I met Gerhard at the last Indiana Comic-Con and asked him to sign my Tyrant #1. He was so happy and surprised. He hadn’t seen that in years and had a funny story to tell about turning in his colors.
You should have him on. He was an absolute delight to talk to and had great stories to tell.
This period in the 90s is one of my favorite era in graphic storytelling with daring works like this and Chester Brown's Underwater and other amazing thinks that came out from Tundra, Spider-Baby comics, Drawn and Quarterly, Fantagraphics, etc. I wish Bissette would consider making a crowdfunded oversized artist edition of this series.
I haven't gotten into buying original comics pages yet. But, man… I would murder someone to own one of these pages. Simply beautiful work. Especially from issue 3. Thanks for sharing.
Oh man! in the letters for iss#2 ( 20:23 ), there's a drawing of Ron Post by Matt Howarth!! You should do some Those Annoying Post Brothers / Savage Henry!
This is my JAM. How have I never seen this before now???
Man, Kayfabe effect no joke. This book is pricey! It would great to have someone contact the creator. If he knew the Kayfabe crowd would pre order the a collection and print excess for his own back stock he would sell through and have that future sales as more people watch this video. I’m always on the look out for a great dinosaur story with the art backing it up. Like Age of Reptiles from Dark Horse a real testament of a great cartoonist.
Yes! I agree–a perfect way to reconceptualize this groundbreaking book!
Was so happy to get these as they came out. Was heartbroken when it just stopped. This was the book that "graduated" me from the Big Two.
Beautiful books. I’d never heard of it before but I used to love Delgado’s age of reptiles: tribal and warfare. I can see where he got his inspiration from now
So fortunate to have these issues. I love the art! From an arm's length, each page looks so detailed and meticulously drawn. From a nose length, the inking on those very same pages look raw and kinetic. It's so good.
Another one to review is Puma Blues by Stephen Murphy and Michael Zulli.
So inspiring! You guys are the best channel on YouTube! Motivates me to finish my graphic novel. 👏🏻👍🏻💪🏻
Incredible..!
"Meat…not meat". Alan Moore's contribution if I remember correctly. Always love seeing Bissette's work getting recognition. One of the best with incredible panel layouts.
This is absolutely incredible. Thank You Kayfabe!
Amazing; if collected I'll be a buyer! Allow me to descend into Dino-nerdery for a moment… Despite what is said in Jurassic Park (which I love anyway), Trex likely had excellent binocular vision, and the "egg sucker" is an oviraptor or close relative (perhaps stated somewhere in the text or back matter). Anyway, by Dinosaur standards it was likely fairly intelligent as most raptors would have been, judging from brain/bodyweight ratio .
Someone already mentioned it in the comments, but Ricardo Delgado's Age of Reptiles series came out around the same time (93, I think), and had a longer run with 4 story arcs.
