Ink & Imagination 006: Boom, Bust, and Bagged in Plastic: The Comic Book Speculator Crash of the 1990s

Welcome to Ink & Imagination, brought to you by Those Two Geeks.

In the early 1990s, comics weren’t just stories, they were investments. Collectors, speculators, and even casual fans flooded comic shops, convinced that every #1 issue or shiny foil cover would be the next Action Comics #1. Publishers like Marvel, DC, and the newly formed Image Comics were happy to feed the frenzy; releasing endless variant covers, holographic editions, and “limited” collector’s runs printed by the millions.

For a brief, chaotic moment, the industry boomed. Comic shops opened on every corner, and first issues sold in the millions. But it was a bubble waiting to burst.

Ink & Imagination 005: Will Eisner and the Fight for Creator Rights

Welcome to Ink & Imagination, brought to you by Those Two Geeks.

In this episode, we dive into the life and legacy of Will Eisner, one of comics’ true visionaries. Best known for The Spirit and for pioneering the “graphic novel,” Eisner also became a tireless advocate for creator rights in an industry that often exploited its talent. From his own struggles with publishers to his pivotal role in reshaping how artists and writers claimed ownership over their work, we’ll explore how Eisner’s fight helped pave the way for the conversations, and protections, that define comics today.
