A perfect page. Why POWR MASTRS is not one of the most universally revered comics of the late '00 is beyond me.

A little thing I wrote for a magazine almost ten years ago:

"One of the core PictureBox cartoonists, C.F. (Christopher Forgues), brings together qualities that are not supposed to coexist. His ongoing series Powr Mastrs defies definition: It is at once an adventure comic and a sequence of seemingly unconnected surrealist reveries. Deceptively simple in appearance, it has the intensity of a self-taught visionary’s work. Simultaneously, Powr Mastrs is engorged with the history of comics. For example, C.F. makes the most outlandish events seem plausible by maintaining internally coherent design quirks throughout all layers of the worlds he depicts, in a manner reminiscent of Spider-Man cocreator Steve Ditko’s early-’60s work, and he speeds up time with a kinetic energy that recalls Japanese author Katsuhiro Otomo, or arrests it in a metaphysical stillness that evokes the work of French fantasy master Moebius. Yet these heterogeneous influences never register as erudite quotations. Rather, one almost feels as if C.F. were sharing his excitement with his audience in real time and in his own completely idiosyncratic language. The result is magic."

I totally agree, one of the most interesting and innovative comics...it's real art!
