British Update: Crisis
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: From the 1980’s comics revolution of the UK, new stock of Crisis, which flared briefly as the mouthpiece of the political, intellectual, and counter-cultural fringe of the readership. With many creators from the popular 2000 AD, Crisis won acclaim and awards for its boundary pushing, but ultimately failed to win much of a readership, fizzling out in 1992 in a welter of money-saving European reprints. This selection from # 15 to # 43 features many of its most popular creators – Ennis, Ezquerra, Fabry, Phillips – doing a body of work that enhanced their already formidable reputations. And hey, kids – Free Stickers! (If they didn’t get you by appealing to your intellect, maybe gaudy tat’d be worth a try!)
