He has published five books with Paladin Press: The Deadliest Men, Dueling With the Sword and Pistol, Jim Cirillo's Tales of the Stakeout Squad, More of the Deadliest Men Who Ever Lived, and Bowie Knife Fights, Fighters, and Fighting Techniques. The brainchild of New York comic artist Paul Kirchner, the first incarnation of Dope Rider was done on spec, so the artist would have a sample to show prospective freelance employers. It first appeared in 1974 in Scary Tales magazine, then made its way to Harpoon and Apple Pie . In 1975, the comic found a home at High Times , the perfect fit for the strip where it reached its largest audience and also used color for the first time.

Kirchner was born in New Haven, Connecticut. He attended Cooper Union School of Art but left in his third year, when, with the help of Larry Hama and Neal Adams, he began to get work in the comic book industry. [1] Career [ edit ] Comics [ edit ] Paul Kirchner's Shaman, from Heavy MetalThis insight---that a more colorful, more surreal world is available to us via imaginative perspective---is threaded throughout Kirchner's cult classic strip The Bus, which originally ran in Heavy Metal between 1979 and 1985. The Bus, which centered on a mundane hero's fanciful duel with the banality of everyday existence, found a second life on the internet through pirated copies---grainy, incomplete versions that hipped a new audience to Kirchner's fabulous comics. In 2015, French publisher Éditions Tanibis released a complete (and very handsome) edition of The Bus strips, along with The Bus 2, a sequel featuring new work. In the postscript essay he wrote for this new collection, Kirchner writes, "As I go through my daily affairs, I feel I often have one foot in the material world, the other in the world of my imagination." The finest work in Awaiting the Collapse allows us to step into that imaginative world too, and dream along with Kirchner's strange and wonderful visions. Highly recommended. Kirchner's power to evoke surrealist fantasy evinces throughout the miscellaneous comics collected in Collapse. Standouts include "Hive", a riff on Fritz Lang's Metropolis, and "Tarot", which plays out as a duel between a knight and a wizard (both strips were published originally in Heavy Metal). The Big Book of Losers: Pathetic but True Tales of the World's Most Titanic Failures (DC Comics, 1997) The same year “Dope Rider” found its way to High Times, where it reached its largest audience and also used color images for the first time, which certainly improved its impact on the magazine’s baked readers.
