Description The nineties sucked, right? Hear it all the time, mostly about the comics of that decade, but also movies, cartoons and so forth, especially when compared with the eighties. Well, I love the eighties too, but I'm a child of the nineties. Turned 12 in 1990; read my first comic in the 90's, started making art in the 90's, decided i wanted to be an *artist* in the 90's, etc. And it didn't suck; it was fantastic. A lot of the works from that decade were revelations for me, hitting with the kind of impact that you can really only experience as a young person. So here it is, my little tribute to some of the awesomeness of the decade of my youth. Enjoy, and if you are also a nineties child, say it with pride (we were the generation that first read Understanding Comics, for pete's sake!)

I uploaded a pretty big file, feel free to do whatever with it, but remember that none of these copyrights belong to me (so don't slap it on a tee shirt of something.)

You know something the eighties is over rated I think people just look back on it as so great because of childhood nostalgia. Have you ever gone back and watches 80's cartoons? They're terrible Transformers, TMNT, Thundercats, He-man, The Super Mario Bros super show, etc.... the works! All great idea all terribly executed. 90% of Transformers is flavor of the week episode with Megatron's new zany scheme, Or Shredder's, or Mum Ra's, or Bowser's or whoever. And I still shudder thinking about excuuuseee me princess! Ugh! The thought of Snarf or Orko makes me want to wretch. The 90's had some boss stuff Gargoyles, Beast Wars, Reboot, Shadow Raiders, The maxx, Batman a lot of the stuff you have up there actually. Now yes 90's comics definitely had their issues and the 90's in general for that matter. The clothing for a start lol. But it still had some awesome movies. Games were the bomb in the 90's SNES all the way FF6, Donkey Kong Country, Chrono Trigger, Super Metroid, Super Mario RPG it was a good time to be a gamer. I guess what I'm getting at is 80's over rated, 90's (at least some parts) under rated. Not to mention this song came out in the 90's [link] and it is a great song.

P.S. Awesome picture need some Dinobot love though heh.

The one thing I'll grant the eighties is movies. Raiders, Empire, Back to the Future, Ferris Bueller, Goonies, Ghostbusters, Highlander, Wrath of Khan; its a tough line-up to beat. But yeah, I (obviously) felt like the nineties weren't getting the love they deserve.

Great work, Adam! Even the signature is a nod to the 90s. A lot of the comic artists in the 90s (especially over at Image) would sign their names over the tattered parchment or something similar. Nice touch, bro!

The 90's was THE best era... because I was born in that era.

The 90s was when I first got into games such as Pokemon, Supa Ma-dio, and Kirby; lots of favorable cartoons from Dexter's Laboratory to The Powerpuff Girls, including my favorite movies, such as The Iron Giant and Pokemon: The First Movie. I was a huge fan of cartoons back then and is the reason why I like cartoons today. Seeing this picture, I just HAD to comment because... well, the 90s is where everything started for me and is the reason why I love all of the animations and games that exist today. You've done a great job with this picture.
