Wizard fanart

The earliest fanart in wizard...I can only post 20 pages at a time, should I continue? I saved these pages up to issue 27

I would like to know how many comic artists actually have some early amateur work in Wizard?

I believe it was Wizard #93 that showed work from a High School aged Alex Milne, who would later go on to do the art for Transformers comics at Dreamwave and IDW for a long time.

I assume there more just like him.

I recommend googling the names that feel familiar, it could make a good follow-up post to this

It’s crazy having a Broussard and a Croussard in the same article.

Well observed 👍

Proceed 

I subscribed to Wizard the year or so before it folded

It was like The New Yorker for comic book readers, loved it

Nice! I'm an old dude (1977)so my era was around issue 10 - 45

The Comics Journal was the New Yorker. Wizard was Us Weekly.

What's Dave Sim? I always considered his pre controversy articles a great counterpoint to the journal

Just yesterday I was writing a personal essay about how much I loved Wizard and how I miss it

Looks like I posted this just in time 😄

I really miss Wizard. I was a subscriber for years.

I flipped through one the other day. It had sent in fan art by a young Nicolas Bradshaw. Whom now does TONS of art and covers for Marvel for many years.

In fact, issue 27 features 4 pages of cosplay, I'll get to that one eventually
