"You boys a bit bored? Here it is! The introduction and 1st appearance of THE BARBARIAN! Steven Howeird. One of my oddest and funniest characters. Beware. Howeird is as lethal as he is strange. And smelly. And dirty.
Per usual in my comics, Barbarian began loosely based after a crazy old friend of mine. His legendary story starts here and spins wildly out of control as the comics go on. The usual scenario in my comics: I get an idea off a friend's quirky trait (whether it be a unique face or body trait, a unique personality, whatever) and then put a semi-parody/semi-fictionalized caricature of them in the comics. But, as usual... after awhile, the character doesn't even resemble the friend any more... I completely turn it into a 99.9% original character, though the friends still enjoy the bragging rights of saying, “AHA! There’s me kickin’ ass in the comics” or what not. Most of the characters in my comics are this way.

Chrusher Comix Episode #31 - Year Three #2
- "The Dawn of The Barbarian!":
Dawn of The Barbarian! The second chapter of the third season is perhaps
one of the funniest (and oddest) of the entire saga, unless you are
Chrusher. After his friend accidentally
knocked a 2x4 with a nail into Steven "Hulk" Howeird's skull, Steve
started losing his mind, dressing like a caveman,
and trying out for Crusher's Conqueror gang here in
this
episode. After they rejected and beat on him, Steven Howeird finally lost all of his marbles,
creating his own language, believing that he is the descendent of
renegade Norwegian Vikings, Puerto Rican warlords, Odd Pagan warlocks,
and middle-eastern Kings and Presidents, and goes on a vengeful rampage that is chock full of disgusting, vile, and vulgar adult humor.
I got my skull smashed against the school bus window for this
one, heheh. Still one of the funniest (and grossest) in the series. Mature audiences only! (28 b&w pages, 1991.)

"Classic Crusher Comics" was done between 1988-1999 as an
unpublished "sketchbook with a storyline" comic book
while the author was in school and for a short period thereafter. In 2005, it was reborn,
reprinted entirely for the world wide web as a webcomic. Now, a new graphic novel debuted, though interrelated,
not interdependent to the old archival comic books. Enjoy any
and all!
