ChrusherComix is an award-winning high school newspaper comic strip and comic book that was created in 1988, but the 1,000 page archive produced between 1988-1999 only debuted online in 2005. The graphic novel intended for a worldwide audience is now actively being produced in 2007.
[edit] The New Graphic Novel: Chrusher - End Cycle
The thrilling graphic novel of forensic artist/detective/martial-arts expert nicknamed "Chrusher", the past that he cannot escape from, and a woman whose death has haunted him for over a decade. The comic debuted in 2007 and is a dramatic graphic novel, a departure from the comic's mostly comedic past. [1]
[edit] Classic Comedy Crusher Comics
"Classic Crusher Comics" is a "sketchbook with a storyline" for the amusement of my friends and me. It contains over 1,000 comic book pages over 47 Episodes produced between 1988-1999. The website is a complete, online archive of the entire comic that begins with comedic amateur doodles (1988) & progresses into professional-quality art & story (2007 Graphic Novel). Though funny, the original "Classic" line from 1988-1999 was created for friends and family, and not a worldwide audience like the new 2007 webcomic is. The complete archive is found here, in an episode-by-episode manner: [2]
[edit] The Three Eras of Chrusher Comix
Chrusher is a comic book series separated into three volumes. Although they are interrelated, they are not interdependent.
Era One is called "Classic Crusher Comics" and it was produced when the author was in high school, and it is mostly a character-driven comedy drawn on school notebooks, hence its name as a "sketchbook with a storyline." It features the characters such as Chris Crusher [3], Mike Butski [4], Ronald Foule [5], RaYzor (S)Hitman [6], Obliterator [7], Steven "Barbarian Howeird [8], KKKeith Slasher [9], The Welforce [10], The Grim Raker [11], and Cow Gagnon [12] and countless others in all of the character's high school years (1988-1992 [13]). Though it starts roughly drawn, it gradually gets better artistically. It also contains the award-winning cartoon series that was published in the local high school paper. So beloved are these comics, that they actually spawned a spin-off named RaYzor's (S)Hitman Comics [14]
Era Two is the "Immature Adult Crusher Comics" (1994-1999). Although it does periodically contain elements of a semi-professionally illustrated and mature drama [15], but most of it is filled with juvenile college-aged-humor featuring grumpy old fat people named The Welphys [16], Wesley James-TrOllgre Stevens [17], new Welforce members, and those crazy and lovable Lunaticials [18].
Era Three, is a graphic novel otherwise known as "End Cycle" [19] is a dramatic departure from the majority of the comedy first two volumes, as it starts nearly ten years afterwards. Again, although they are interrelated, they are absolutely not interdependent, and the third era is the only one produced for a worldwide audience.
[edit] Original Interview Entry for "Classic" ChrusherComix
Chrusher (abbreviation for Christopher The Crusher) Comics [20] is an ongoing serial comic book that began in 1988 by the then 14-year-old Cartoonist/High-School-Vigilante Chris "Crusher" Stevens [21] based on loose parodies of himself, his friends, his family, his love interests, and... his enemies. The comics have continued from his high school years (1988-1992) to his supposedly adult times (allegedly this would be 1993-1999), with minor stops for other projects, such as Towner [22] and a children's book named Tee and Wee[23].
