Why was Krigstein so influential?
Like a lot of obscure creators, no one cared until he got praised in some retrospective books and now suddenly every indie guy knew about him.
>>152153464But he influenced capeshit artists primarily, like Miller, Mazzucchelli, and Gibbons.
>>152153537Yeah, that was decades later. Krigstein's time in comics came and went with little fanfare, he would not be appreciated until much later
>>152153464>KrigsteinNobody gave a shit about Jack Cole or his work on Plastic Man until Spiegelman wrote that book about him and then miraculously everyone was saying they'd been a fan of his and plastic man for years.
>>152155321Hugh Hefner hired him for Playboy precisely because he was a fan of Plastic Man.
>>152155321That's another one I was thinking about. I'm sure in some cases they were noted to other artists, but acting like they were massively recognized is rewriting history.
>>152155321>>152155585Yeah, that's bullshit. He was already recognized before Spiegelman's article in 1999.
>>152156211Ok anon...whatever you say.
>>152153537Steranko as well

>>152156429It's climax from an old EC Comic. A bald, creepy looking guy is stalking a random guy in the subway for a couple of days like a slasher film villain. When finally confronted, we get the twist that the protagonist of the story is a Nazi concentration camp higher up who ordered the murder of every Jew in said camp at the end of the war and then burnt the camp and it's paperwork to the ground, so everyone who worked there could then scatter and vanish back into their regular lives. The creepy bald guy was the sole survivor of the massacre and had been hunting down and killing everyone who worked at the camp and the protagonist is the last one. After forcing him to jump to his death rather than be killed, the bald guy tells a passer that asks if he knew the guy who just jumped to his death in front of the train, he says he didn't. Echoing an earlier line where the protagonist initially dismissed the bald guy as a nobody when he first saw him stalking him at the start of the story
>>152153188never heard of it
>>152156429>>unknown>tfw the only thing you have to show for all your years of webcomic posting is a few shitty OCs and some fanfics that nobody ever read-- 152169208(You)That's not it. It was some kind of other obscure comic, I don't remember what.>>unknownIt wasn't that long ago either.
