The Original Crew

For a brief, vibrant moment in the early 1990s, Personality Comics launched The Original Crew (1991–1992), a 12-issue series that captured the indie ethos of the era. A rotating team of creators—including writers Pat Henkel, Tiki, and Mark Stanislawski, with painted art from an uncredited artist alongside Juan Pineda and Marc Caraballo—defined its eclectic, experimental tone. Though short-lived, it stands as a curious artifact of the early-90s direct market boom, showcasing the raw, unfiltered creativity of a small press publisher.
