  Epic Illustrated - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Epic Illustrated was a bi-monthly large format anthology series published by Marvel Comics for 34 issues between 1980-1986.
It allowed regular Marvel Comics writers and artists to try out material that was deemed unsuitable for titles still subject to the Comics Code and also stories using Marvel Universe characters that were risque or non-canon.
Epic Illustrated featured the first of Ken Steacy's adaptations of Harlan Ellison short stories.

Epic Comics launched with the first issue of Dreadstar in late 1982 and was shipped only to direct market comic shops, which were a growing force in the marketplace at that time, and were starting to nibble away at the dominance of newsstands as the major outlet of comic books.
Ten or so years later, with much hullabaloo, Marvel brought Epic back in 2003, with the promise that it would again publish creator-owned comics, with the promise that anyone, as long as their work met the Epic standards, could be published.
Epic, for various reported reasons didn't work, with several creators left with the impression that "creator-owned" wasn't an avenue Marvel was looking to go down at that time.

Image:Havok and Wolverine.jpg Epic Comics was a creator-owned imprint of Marvel Comics started in 1982, lasting through the mid-1990s, and being briefly revived on a small scale in the mid-2000s.
Epic was also notable as one of the first American comic publishers to release material originally produced in other countries, such as the Moebius graphic novels Airtight Garage, The Incal and Blueberry, published here in English translation.
Epic's cachet dimmed somewhat in the late 1980s and early '90s, partly as a consequence of the new breed of "grim and gritty" stories Epic had helped to pioneer but which had now become a staple of mainstream comics.

 Epic Qualities of the Sundiata   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
By the time you are done reading an epic, you know how the people in this culture live, honor their dead, dress, eat, worship, build their homes, design their government...what kind of laws they make and how they enforce them, how they interact with other cultures and much more.
The Epic hero represents GOOD (according to the mores of the culture whose epic this is) and the foil, the hero's antagonist, always has qualities morally and culturally repulsive to the subject culture.
Every epic hero repeatedly thwarts death (although he must eventually succumb), either by visiting and returning from the underworld, which mere mortals cannot do (katabasis), by receiving the help of a divinity or otherwise supernatural entity, or by using magic to protect himself from the laws that govern that realm.

Epic Comics should have ushered in a new readership for Marvel in the way Vertigo did for DC.
Epic Illustrated was, for my money, much better than Heavy Metal, and featured material similar to what Dark Horse has made its own: P. Craig Russell's Elric work ("While the Gods Laugh," I think), Steranko covers, a large Vaughn Bodé section in one issue -- good stuff.

I once read a interview with Rick Marshall, the gent who created Epic Illustrated and served as its first editor, and he said that his original plans for the mag were very different from what got published.
Yeah, sometimes you DID get the feeling that the swearing, the gore and especially the female nudity were there just for the cheap effect, but along the way a lot of good stuff actually did get published in Epic Illustrated's pages.
Finally, an aside of dubious significance: Epic Illustrated #18 (June 1983) was probably wherein I saw my first comic book penis, in a reprint/translation of Go Nagai's story, Oni.

The Ramayana is not just an epic delineating the life of Rama but a work embodying the eternal wisdom of the scriptures which has perennial appeal.

It also was used to sell comics such as Groo and Elfquest, which were, beforehand, not as widely known.
The other part was that it was a prestigious imprint for creators to do arty books that were certainly off the mainstream: Moonshadow, Blood: A Tale, Greenberg the Vampire.
The only "amateur hour" part of Epic probably was Epic Illustrated, which because it was an anthology of short stories, it provided early work for a lot of creators: Rick Vietch, Kent Wiliams, Marc Hemple.

Watercolors from Henry Darger’s epic illustrated novel, In the Realms of the Unreal.
This fantasy epic depicts the great war between the evil Glandelinians, who seek to enslave and torture children, and the Christian Abbiennia, led by the book’s great heroes, the Vivian sisters, seven blonde, cutesy girls who are as ferocious as they are virtuous.
And with the book (and its endless lists and appendixes) were the incredible illustrations and paintings — huge, intricate, watercolor murals of bucolic scenes of little girls (drawn with small penises) set amid violent battle scenes and depictions of torture, mutilations and disembowelment.

The series began in Epic Illustrated as “Metamorphasis Odyssey,” continued at Eclipse with the “The Price” one shot, started under its own title with the Marvel Graphic Novel, and then came out as a monthly series under the Epic banner.
The premise of Starlin's series was that of Vanth Dreadstar, the last survivor of the destroyed Milky Way galaxy, as he found himself transported to the Empirical Galaxy, where he was recruited by the sorcerer Syzygy Darklock to help bring an end to a two-hundred-year-old war between the corrupt Monarchy and the fanatical Instrumentality.
Barrucci continued, “This new collection will be the first volume in a new launch of Dreadstar and Jim Starlin packages from Dynamic Forces, and we’re pulling out all of the stops in terms of reproduction and packaging for both the old fans and the new fans.
