Bumbazine was a one-off 1976 fanzine with strong Walt Kelly influences, that was a collaborative effort between Alan Hanley, Jim Engel, Chuck Fiala and Jack Weaver.
Each contributed comic strips that had appeared previously, or would appear in other zines later.
Contents
- Thug the Unkindly by Alan Hanley - the adventures of Hanley's Captain Marvel/Shazam! tribute character Goodguy against Thug the Unkindly, who was based on Conan the Barbarian. The full storyline was collected from various other zines and published in Bumbazine[1].
- Lackluster Lizard by Jim Engel:
Below is a Lackluster Lizard strip from 1976. This originally appeared in “BUMBAZINE”, a fanzine put together by Alan Jim Hanley, Chuck Fiala, and me. The Lackluster character is evolving visually into the character he looks like in DD,DD. Actually, I had a second character called “Newt the Newt” whose visuals I co-opted and gave to Lackluster when I decided to insert him in the DD strip. The strip below is the the first appearance of “Pigs Benedict”, and the rabbit is essentially the look I used for Bungalow Bill in DD. Don’t ask me who the mouse is.
- Three Blind Fools by Jim Engel, Steve Daniels and Chuck Fiala.
