Rocko’s Modern Life (1994)

Posted on by EHT Comics

Nickelodeon approached Marvel, asking the company to produce comic book series for Rocko’s Modern Life and Ren and Stimpy. Marvel purchased the license for Rocko from Nickelodeon. The staff created the comics, and Susan Luposniak, a Nickelodeon employee, examined the comics before they were released. Joe Murray said in a December 2, 2008 blog entry that he drew some of the pages in the comic book series.

The comics contain stories not seen in the television show. In addition, the comic book series omits some television show characters and places, while some original places and characters appear in the comics. John “Lewie” Lewandowski wrote all of the stories except for one; Joey Cavalieri wrote “Beaten by a Club”, the second story of Issue #4.

Troy Little, a resident of Monroe, Oregon, wrote to Marvel requesting that the title for the comic’s letters column should be “That’s Life”. In Issue 3, published in August 1994, the editors decided to use the title for the comic’s “Letters to the Editor” section. In Issue 5, published in October 1994, the editors stated that they were still receiving suggestions for the title of the comic even though they had decided on using “That’s Life” by Issue 3.

On December 6, 2017, Boom! Studios began publishing a new Rocko’s Modern Life comic book series.

Death’s Head 2 V1 (1992)

Posted on by EHT Comics

After the initial Death’s Head stories ceased publication, the character was revamped for inclusion in Marvel UK’s next wave of titles, where it became the company’s biggest ever exported seller.

There were plans in 1991 to bring back the original Death’s Head, which would have featured the character on trial and facing the death penalty, and flashing back to how he’d got there. Early into production the new editor Paul Neary scrapped it and commissioned Death’s Head II instead: replacing the character with a new version, created by Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning, and Liam Sharp. In an autumn 1992 interview with Comic World, Neary was dismissive about the original character and the aborted : “I didn’t like the pages that had been produced – I didn’t think there was much future in Transformers-style robots and I thought we could do an awful lot better.” He produced some sample sketches of how he wanted the character to look,and Liam Sharp’s take gave the project “a kickstart”. Ironically, the success of Death’s Head II meant Neary was ordered to create more titles and the easiest way was to reprint the original series (“The Incomplete Death’s Head”); editor John Freeman had to talk him into it.
