In every Look Back, we examine a comic book issue from 10/25/50/75 years ago (plus a wild card every month with a fifth week in it). This time around, we head to June 2014 to see the launch of Robert Kirkman and Paul Azaceta’s Outcast.
It is kind of interesting how much a major success can distort lesser achievements, and that’s a shame. Robert Kirkman had SUCH amazing success with The Walking Dead, and now Invincible, that is makes stuff like his work on Outcast seem minor in comparison, but Outcast, the series that he did for 48 issues with artist Paul Azaceta, colorist Elizabeth Breiteiser and letterer Rus Wooton, was a notable success in its own right, and just because its TV adaptation only lasted two seasons, it is seen as not as impressive, even thought that is all a really significant achievement.
