GD 216 panels

[q99]

Gold Digger 216 had an abnormally high number of panels that I found hilarious without even needing to know the wider issue context.


So without further adieu,







The *worst* kind of disappointment!




Magic destroyed cloths? Sister to the rescue!



Bam! With a cannon!



*Hate* twins!





Speaks for itself.


All from Gold Digger 216 by Fred Perry! Put out by Antarctic Press (The actual issue plot has to do with fighter jets and stuff ^^)

As q99 mentioned, GD predates Phoenix Wright by a good nine years. Indeed, Gina (a female globe-trotting archaeologist) actually predates TOMB RAIDER by 3 years.

And remember this. With the exception of the occasional backup story and some of the early coloring, this book has been done by ONE MAN. For over 200 issues and 20 years. There are only 2 or 3 other comics in the West that can say that.

And NONE of those books have their own OVA (also animated by the same guy, solo).

As for the tone... Fred is one of us. He's a HUGE geek. :)

-this book has been done by ONE MAN. -

More like one comic machine in the *shape* of a human!


-For over 200 issues and 20 years. There are only 2 or 3 other comics in the West that can say that.-

I think the only competitors are Savage Dragon and Usagi Yojimbo... and GD's passed up UY in issues.

You can also make a claim for Cerebus (Gerhart only did backgrounds)

Ugh, yea, I like to forget that one but I guess it's in.
