Darwyn Cooke. Born November 16th 1962 in Toronto, Canada. From Batman: Ego, to DC: The New Frontier and Richard Stark's Parker, his presence within the industry was legendary. With only a few titles to his name, he managed to stand out as a pioneer of the retro modern style and in this video essay, we'll look at his Top 5 Most Important Works that paint the biography of his career and legacy.

Cooke was one of a kind. His work is so good and I wish we had more of it.

We need more of these, honestly. But I can understand why these are a massive undertaking 😊

Thank you for the support, these videos don't tend to do as well, but the response is always positive and I enjoy doing them, so more will be coming at some point :) I was thinking maybe Stan Lee or Jack Kirby? :)

I just picked up his work with Tim Sale on Kryptonite, and I have a feeling a lot of my comic dollars are going to be spent on picking up his other work. I didn't realize his career in comics was so short and amazing; definitely can't wait to plunge into more of what this incredible artist had to offer eager page flippers.

Had the pleasure of meeting Darwyn Cooke at a Montreal Comiccon the year before his passing. Then I only qas familiar with his art style from some covers he had done which I was able to get signed. When New Frontier was released a few years later in collected form, ordered that to read. Wasn't aware of mych of his other works until your vid. Had a chat about Darwyn at last year's Montreal Comiccon with another Canadian artist Michael Cho who's style I found similar to Darwyn's. At least he is still remembered in some cirlces.

While I don't love Darwyn Cooke art style I do love his passion and writing. Not to mention he was right about the comic industry.

I never knew he worked on Batman animated series or Buzz lightyear. Love learning new things. Admittedly haven't read much with Darwin Cooke but I feel I need to now. Batman Ego looks right up my crime alley.😄 Epic vid.😎

I reckon you'd really like his Catwoman work too, so definitely check that out if you can! :) Thank you for watching the video mate, it took a lot out of me doing this one, just hope it was worth it :)

Love these types of videos. More like this please. Far to many overviews on KZfaq (no issue with that it's just nice to spicy it up and learn something new.)

Have you ever went through a reading funk or lull where you didn’t want to read or stopped reading comics? not sure what to call it. I have a hard time now reading through some books I tried getting away from the main two and tried Night Fever I enjoyed it being a quick read and all. I can’t seem to find the time or eagerness to read somethings. I was just wondering if you went through this at any point in time.

@stephentheshywarrior2759 3 ай бұрын

I had this happen to me, its like fatigue. but mine was down to being diagnosed with epilepsy that gave me and still does bad concentration and memory issues No joke it has taken me nearly 3 years to enjoy reading and not just collecting books and never reading them. My advice is either read a run that is a favourite or have a few months off, try something new like a novel or Manga and come in refreshed and try again. Just don't force it or you'll start hating the hobby.🙂

@MaddoggComics 3 ай бұрын

Hey mate, sorry you're having a bit of a lull. I can't say I've ever had one I've noticed, but there have been times where I just haven't picked up a book for a while, but it's normally because I'll be more absorbed in a game or a series and just forget (I have a really short attention span). I feel Stephen hit the nail on the head, just don't force it and make yourself fall out of love with comics. Maybe just check out a few first issues for some random series, see if anything jumps out at you, or sometimes I go back and re-read one of my favourite titles (my next review is an example of that). It happens to everyone at some point, so don't feel bad about it mate, just make sure you enjoy your free time, whether that's reading a comic or not, because life is way too short :)

Yo Bro, how are doing? Haven’t watched a video of yours in long time. (It’s Zoom btw, if you still remember)

@alwaysaninstigator 3 ай бұрын

You're doing a serious disservice to the research, care, and thought you put into this with the constant sponsor stops. I get it, pay the bills or whatever, but maybe just one at the beginning or the end instead of breaking up what is an otherwise really great video

@MaddoggComics 3 ай бұрын

The channel costs more than it brings in at the moment 🤷‍♂️ people will always complain about something, so if I changed to one at the beginning and one at the end, someone would moan about that 🤷‍♂️
