‘The Glut’ was not all crap, though you had to look hard to find stuff worth keeping.
I’ve decided to post a few example here on the site to give an idea of what Silverwolf and Greater Mercury Comics were competing against.
Up first: Nomads of Antiquity by M.E. Comix.
There’s practically no information available online about this company, which is a shame. Here’s what we know: ‘M. E.’ apparently stood for McNeil Enterprises, after Pierre R. McNeil. The company was based out of Atlanta, Georgia and this first Issue was published in January, 1987.
Altogether, there would be 5 issues of Nomads of Antiquity published. The series’s covers featured limited color and the art by John Skoglund was actually decent for a ‘Glut’ book. I’d have to put it near par with much of what we saw from Greater Mercury Comics.
