Lightning Comics (mid-90s)

Lightning Comics in the mid 90s was an independent comic publisher founded by Joseph and Steve Zyskowski. They wanted to make comic books unlike the ones they had read before. They believed the newest comics "seemed to lack 'substance'." Their first artists were Julius Jackson, Terral Lawrence, Karl Kerscl, and Eric Pence. The first comic published by Lightning Comics, Bloodfire #1, sold 50,000 comics. The companies idea was to make issue a limited printing to enhance collectability. Also after that first issue, Greg Weed was hired to move the company from marker to airbrush.
