Thank you for this!, i collected and read that "Jungle Action" run when it first hit the 7-11 comics rack and had been as fan of Graham ever since!
Billy Graham's work with Don McCregor on Black Panther was one of the highlights of the Bronze Age comics of my teens. Graham was always inventive and obviously completely committed to this inspirational and influential book. When Marvel cancelled the book in the midst of the Panther vs the Klan storyline, it nearly put the last nail in my comic book reading.
The Panther's Rage series was probably the first published graphic novel, I don't think anything had been done quite like it before. Don McGregor's writing was dense, cerebral and epic, and Billy Graham's style was simple but pastoral, with some unusual layouts, that combined with the author's scripts to make it visually charming and exciting.
Interesting (and highly entertaining) profile of a vastly underrated--and seldom mentioned--comic book artist! Billy Graham is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the greatest African-American comic book creators of all time! Graham's all-too-brief runs on both Luke Cage and Black Panther are fantastic!
Great video, Graham's Jungle action is possibly my overall favorite comic book run of all time. The splash pages in this book are some of the best I have ever seen. Working a film and exhibit with will feature a lot of grahams work including some original art. Going to share this with his Grand daughter Shawna.
A Graham exhibit would be amazing to see.
This is my first time viewing a Chaos Ensues video, but it won't be the last. That was fantastic. As a lifelong Billy Graham fan I must thank you for this wonderfull presentation.
Growing up, I initially missed his work on Luke Cage, but was right into his run on Black Panther with Don McGregor. While I am a HUGE fan of Jack Kirby, when it comes to Black Panther my fan loyalty is tested. McGregor, Graham et al were brilliant too. I would later dig his work on Sabre... This was a great vid.
I didn't know this fact. Thanks for sharing. Good job
I love that nic cage got his name from power man. That's so awesome
This was very thorough. Continued success.
Awesome video and well put together. Thank you so much for helping to keep Billy’s legacy alive!! -Shawnna
Thank you for checking it out and the Graham stamp of approval!
Thanks, loved learning about all this. Never heard of him prior but I will be looking into him now.
Thanks for a great video and I'm very happy to have found your channel. Cheers!
Your videos are always informative
Thank you very much for this video. Billy Graham is an artist who doesn't get the credit he deserves for his accomplishments and dynamic art.
Thank you for this breakdown. I have many of these comics, but never knew of this man appreciate this video. 🙏
Great video. I know very little about Mr Graham before. He is one of the greats. I remember having some of the comics he drew when I was a youth. Still wish I had them now to hand them down to the younger Generations.
I didn't know anything about Billy Graham,great job on the video,learned a lot. Could you do a detailed video on Milestone Media ??? Every one else seems to do numerous videos on Image,but,I'm curious about Milestone.
Fantastic essay on one of my favorite artists.
SUBSCRIBED!!
Keep it up.
Love his work, great essay, ready for more of your vids.
Great Luke Cage artist. Amazing
Amazing video!! Really enjoyed the research put into this thanks 🙏🏾 again
I thought I never heard of him but that signature was on a few covers of Power Man/Iron Fist that I remember.
Great post! Thank you!
I'm pretty sure they patterned Sabre after Jimi Hendrix
🤘😉
Great job! My guy👍
HUGE FAN of SABRE 3 to 9! When I first started buying Indies, SABRE was like a diamond among the dozens and dozens of "Super Zeroes", both pro and Indie published, that I was getting bored with! A non jive talking, Afro hero who wasn't trying to "save the ghetto"? He was just having wild adventures in a post apocalyptic future? SIGN ME UP! Although getting all of the first 9 issues was tough, it was worth the legwork!
I think that last photo might be Denys Cowan.
Excellent Biopic.
Dopeness
This video is Electric!!!
Nice.
Amazing
What A life!
Billy Graham looks like EDP mixed with Joshua Henderson. Great video 👍
Everyone knows what the initials EDP stand for.
I think John Stewart Green Lantern actually predated Black Panther. Although obviously John is 2nd gen GL instead of an original hero
Black Panther debuted in 1966. John Stewart's GL debuted in 1971.
Can't forget Stewart's debut because Guy Gardner got hit by a bus.
I think he looks a lot like Charley Pride
Christopher James Priest was marvel first black writer but wasn't famous as Graham
Priest could not have been at Marvel before Graham because in 1972, he was 11.
All this time I thought Billy Graham was a white wrestler.
Or a televangelist?
