Creative Comics

## History

### Early History

**Creative Comics** began with the works of Benjamin Applegate and Jake Allen. From what is known, the very first comic was released in 2013. It was titled "The Adventures of Super Guy #1" This comic does not exist anymore, nor is it canon.
 However, it featured the first appearance of Super Guy, Squish, as well as a yellow man with black polka-dots in his skin reminiscent of a Cheetah. This man may have been an early version of Squish, but it is unknown. By the time this comic was published, Andrew Haas was already a new member of Creative Comics, due to the comic's inclusion of Squish. After the comic's release. Several comics were made but not released,
 these comics are still around too. But by the end of 2nd grade, Jake Allen sadly moved away, leaving the team. 2015 was a very quiet year for Creative Comics, Ben and Andrew still made Comics, but they were not released. This process continued until 2016 grade, where both students were put in class with Rip Rubbler. Rip Rubbler was an avid fan of DC and Marvel comics, and remembered a poster they put in a hallway. When he asked if they were still doing that, they answered yes. Before anything else could be said, Rip Rubbler asked the question that would change everything. "Can I join?" They both said it was fine. But Rip Rubbler took it much more seriously. He immediately started work on the Vicier series, as well as a mini-series called Fantasy Fights, which only lasted one issue. However all of it was published, the first issue of Fantasy Fights did okay but it had a little too much ambition. However, the first issue of the Vicier became insanely popular, the old Super Guy comics were more in tone with corny silver-age comics of the 60's, but Rip's work was inspired by gritty 80's stories such as The Dark Knight Returns, Sin City, and Watchmen. This made The Vicier very popular with an edgy, younger demographic, as younger kids wouldn't understand the appeal of silver-age comics. While it's true that these original two issues of The Vicier are lost to time. They were still insanely influential for their artstyle, graphic imagery, and the design of the main character. The comic was never allowed to be sold at the school for how insanely graphic it was, but it was still passed around during many bus rides, lunches, recesses, and mornings. Some kids were displeased by the fact several police officers were murdered in the first issue, but it didn't derail the comic's popularity. After the incomprehensible success of the first issue of the Vicier, Andrew and Ben were inspired to do more.
 As close as they got, they never quite reached the popularity of the first Vicier comic, but that comic most likely saved Creative Comics and without it, it would simply be a relic of the past. A few comics later, the Creative Comics POSTER made the name of group as well as it's existence known. With those two things, Creative Comics was born.
