Description

I've seen thousands of pages of OA at this point, and very few have jumped out and grabbed my attention like this one. Just a masterpiece of mixed media. Every rotor is an individual strip of text. I don't even know how he managed to scan this thing. Kudos to the entire team on my favorite book running.

It is definitely very eye catching! Is it digital at all? I love the type on the page.

I know Martin works digitally a lot, but this issue is about 95% OA, excluding the color, of course. On this page, the artwork actually protrudes 2-3mm at the top of the helicoptors where the strips of text that make up the rotors overlap.

I know nothing about this book but I'm pretty mesmerized by this. I'll have to check it out. Congrats, M!

You're going to love it! Really enjoyable! If you like things like X-files and a little more thought provoking comics then this one is for you!

Stunning page! Love the technique here, allowing the art to interact with the type. Simmonds is on fire these days!

Seriously, text strip helicopters for the win.

Would you possibly be interested in selling a rotor text strip? Just grab the end of one and pull it off of there. :)
