Being a Hero is Just Another Job | Fandom Wanderers
By Z. McAspurren — Even if you don’t have the extreme knowledge that some can claim to, you’ll likely be aware that there is more than just a couple of comics out there in the world. There’s a whole mass of them, spanning a wide variety of genres. Now, you’ll likely have heard of the big companies: Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Zenoscope, Image… these are all big names in the industry, and all produce works which get far more reviews per issue than some ought, to be perfectly frank about the matter. So what about the smaller companies? The ‘indie’ ones? Well, that’s where we’re going to be looking today, Wanderers, at a sadly little known comic called Hero: 9 to 5.
Now, to be fair, by little known, I am talking in comic terms. And I feel like I’m doing a great disrespect to the work by using the term. You see, Hero: 9 to 5 is one of the cleverest comics I’ve read in a long while, and I pretty much almost gave up on the whole genre for a while due to being sick of various representations (or lack thereof) and less than stellar writing. That’s not to say there isn’t brilliant stuff out there, because there is. It’s just finding it.
Hero: 9 to 5 was one of those finds

“Because I don’t know if I’m going to get a chance to finish it (at least not anytime soon) here are the pencils/partial inks of my Animal Man piece for last week’s Comic Twart theme. Animals!”

MADMAN | by Daniel Krall (danielkrall)

“This is a piece I did for Mike Allred’s “Madman 20th Anniversary Monster” book which is out now and packed to the gills with awesome art by Mike himself and a cavalcade of comics heavyweights! I was beyond lucky to be included! I already posted this on my portfolio site a while back, but seeing it on the shelves printed gigantically made me want to share it again! If you haven’t read Madman already, check it out! If you have, run out and get yourself a copy of this giant glossy comic art treasure-chest!”

MADMAN and IT GIRL | by Phil Noto (philnoto):

“MADMAN and IT GIRL - here’s a piece I did for Mike Allred’s Madman 20th Anniversary Monster book. It was such a thrill to contribute something as Madman was one of the first comics I collected regularly. If you’re a fan of the character, I highly recommend checking out the book. There’s SO much great art!”
