  Corben did as much to push the craft forward as Kirby or Moebius. True legend.

  Not only did Corben do so much work, put his studio phone number in his self published Fantagor. I called to see what I could order by mail and Richard answered the phone himself to take my order! Amazing! Later when he had a website,  I emailed the site to help put together a list of his work and he answer the email himself! He is a legend and the #1 reason I got obsessed with comics (along with Kirby).

  My dad left be a big box of comix from this era, including a bunch of Slow Death and Bizarre Sex. Love seeing this being covered. I've been searching for a deep dive into these works.

  4 years after the fact, but great video.  Really appreciate opening and walking through them.  Excellent work!

  I wonder if Corben was influenced by sci fi illustrator Virgil Finlay, their is a similar sheen and texture to his black and white work.

  You asked if "Going Home" has been reprinted or was available. I have quite a few Corben stories in various forms. Aside from maybe in "Odd Comics World of", which I don't have, I don't think it has been reprinted. Great choice of story to use for this video.

  Great analogy of Corbens early underground work which is how I discovered him too, & u were right as much as I appreciated guys like Crumb & S.Clay Wilson their stuff couldnt come anywhere close to what he was accomplishing.

  God love Corben. He was one of my influences growing up as an artist.

  Why not a library collection of all these out of print comics? Album size, color corrected and revised (wishful thinking)?

  I recognize the exact Conan story that Conan painting is from.  Awesome.
