About Big Bang Comics
Gary
Gary Carlson wrote and published the independent comic
book MEGATON during the 1980s, which helped usher in the
do-it-yourself? black & white comics boom of that
decade.
MEGATON is
remembered as a training ground for comic book
professionals. Erik Larsen, Rob Liefeld, and Jackson
Guice are among those whose first professional
assignments were for Carlson. MEGATON was also the first
home to such Image Comics characters as Erik Larsens
SAVAGE DRAGON, Rob Liefeld's YOUNGBLOOD and Larsen &
Carlsons VANGUARD, which later prompted Liefeld to dub
Carlson the Grandfather of Image Comics?.
In the
˜90s, Carlson wrote BERZERKER for Caliber Press, and
co-created the retro anthology series BIG BANG COMICS.
Carlson
has also written various VANGUARD mini-series for Image,
where he also scripted MARS ATTACKS IMAGE and wrote
SUPREME, the new TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES title, as
well as editing and co-writing BIG BANG COMICS, which
moved to Image Comics in 1996. He has also co-written
Aquaman and NOVA with Erik Larsen.
