When Games Become Comics

Posted by Zonk on from the four-colour-samus dept.

rorita writes "1UP.com has posted an entertaining overview of comic books derived from video games, spanning from Valiant's Nintendo Comics System to current-day projects like Studio Udon's Street Fighter. It's not quite comprehensive, but it should still inspire a nostalgic tear for anyone who remembers those old Nintendo Power comics." I have very fond recollections of the adventures of Nester and Howard in particular.

    I had a few of those comics back in the day. That Captain N comic where Samus turns out to be a chick is unforgettable.

    I'm surprised the article didn't touch on some of the online offerings like 8-Bit Theater.
