Introduction to the Three Volumes of ChrusherComix
Welcome. Introducing the cover to my new Graphic
Novel, which I've plotted for over a decade and never had the time or means to do. Now, ComicGenesis and self-publishers have opened the door for it. If you would please vote
for me, then I'll give you a happy incentive gift: It takes
seconds.:
And, for Chrusher, I have a 1,200 page, knee-slappin' hilarious archive. Take a
gander.
ChrusherComix is a comic book series
separated into three volumes. Although they are interrelated, they are
absolutely not interdependent. I insist that the average visitor
new to this book should either start at sampling any of the below
sections, or check back in June to read the dramatic third volume, as it was the
only one created for not just my friends & family, but specifically for a large
audience. The first two volumes I consider "Classic Crusher Comics."
Enjoy them all, and support me via votes, reviews, and published comics
when they are available!
VOLUME ONE (1988-1992)
My Teenage Juvenile Comedy Comics:
(I have no idea why 99.9999999% of my
visitors always see this and/or the 1st 1988 or 1994 pages and then
leave. Please use your brain and pick from any of the selections, in
particular, the comedy of
The Welphy Family and
The
Lunaticials. You'll need it
to follow my ingenious work.)
Volume Oneis essentially a 500+ page comedy that
contains the introductions of many of the main characters. It was
poorly written and illustrated by me when I was fourteen though nineteen years
old (before the internet or webcomics were even known of) and is essentially my practice, though it does contain a
character-driven storyline based on friends and classmates that I
parodied in it. Which is why, in some regards, I call it my high school sketchbook with a storyline, as I was graded very well on it in art classes and won some high school newspaper awards for the special newspaper editions of this comic. Since most of this volume features caricatures of people I know in fictional and semi-fictional circumstances and inside jokes a plenty, my friends think it's the greatest comic ever written, and the wider audience of internet readers don't get it and leave. Hence, it is only provided online only for archival purposes, as
most visitors have shown little interest in most of it other than people interested in watching an
amateur teenage cartoonist's artwork steadily improve or learning the
main characters. Parts of it are highly hysterical, but
0.000001% of visitors have never read more than 1% of it because they
leave after the silly and poorly drawn opening episodes or like perverted
furry fantasy video game sprite copycat comics waaayyyy too much. Still, the third volume will draw on parts of these earlier volumes, so they are not totally without merit.
Volume Twowas written and illustrated during my early twenties. Like its
predecessor, was only written and illustrated for my artistic practice
and the amusement of my friends, and is still not well-suited for a
wider audience because it features caricatures of people that I or my friends know, mixed in with fiction and inside jokes. It continues the story introduced in the first volume,
but with superior artwork, and additional characters. Though it is
largely a comedy, I placed dramatic elements within it to advance the
story of the forthcoming third volume between the humor, but then, to
simply amuse my best friends, gave way completely to little more than
juvenile humor as the volume concluded. Again, there are some extremely
comedic moments, but 0.000001% of visitors
have never read more than 1% of it because they leave after reading the opening episode
(which has decent art, but a story hard to follow unless you've read all
of Volume One or like perverse furry fantasy video game sprite copycat comics
waaayyyy too much), and them middle-to-end of this volume features a precursor to the odd-humored cartoons of the late 1990s - as to my horror, some of the things I thought of were also done similarly in cartoons afterwards. Again, the third volume will draw from certain minor storylines within this second volume, so again, it does have some value to put online.
Volume Three is a departure from the largely comedic initial volumes
of the book. It is a new and dramatic story meant to stand completely
on its own as an original graphic novel, but yet draw from certain
elements threaded within the first two volumes. One will not need to read the first
two volumes to understand or enjoy the third, as anything important will be noted, though a new reader may
venture back and visit some of the characters and their origins if they so
choose to. It is a drama that I have plotted for well over a decade, and I am
debuting it on this website for a worldwide audience as soon as I get a
break in work, which wasn't until August 2007 (I work in a
Greenhouse, and race/co-own/maintain a website for my go-karts,
ok? Busiest time of the year for me and I had more work to do up there this year than previous years). Please respect
this description and I hope that you read and enjoy! And don't read small parts of the first two volumes and leave. You'll miss what I designed for you, the new viewer, to enjoy!.
"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!
