Skateboarder's Creed


This gem come from the back cover of The Peacemaker #2, published by Modern Comics in 1978. Whenever something becomes popular becomes co-opted by the mainstream. It happened to punk, it happened to grunge and it happened to skateboarding. How many skaters bought this Skateboarder's lucky charm?

Here is a better question...how many skateboarders read shitty comics published by Modern Comics? I don't know about you but when I was a teen the skateboarding kids were always pretty cool while the comic book kids were...not. That's changed a lot in the last twenty years. I hear that girls even read comics (Thank you Neil Gaiman). Who knows, I could be wrong. I mean how else would you learn about the skateboarders creed and all the terminology? They never had the internet back then dude...

Oh look, it comes for both your wrist and neck. Sold...
