Description

Khoi Pham is a great artists with a unique, memorable style. I've admired his work for some time, and eventually decided I wanted to get my favorite character from him. In a departure from my usual approach I actually requested an SPECIFIC look for this one... his iconic green jumpsuit from the 80s Mantlo and Mignola series. I didn't have a piece in my collection depicting this yet, but its such an important piece of Rockets history I had to add it.

During the making of this I actually got to meet Khoi Pham in person, and saw this in the process of being inked. I also got to talk with him, and show him my own work, including a zine I've been giving out. He was truly welcoming and genuinely interested in my art, which was amazing. When he finally delivered this, he event included a little sketch of a character I created for the zine. That left me speechless... and made this piece even more special.

As for the art itself whats to say?? I love it, it perfectly captures this era of Rocket and makes maximum use of its 9x12 size. The background against the alien moon is a particularly nice touch, glowing a similar blue to the barrels of his guns. Immaculate.

Really nice how Pham filled in the solid black! The thinning out of it to give volume to shapes in shadow is very much a Mignola original art thing that he picked up on.

Yeah theres a real sense of depth in the background which is great. He nailed the look and feel.

I also get the Mignola vibe from the piece of Rock he is standing on. What a fun piece of Rocket homage. Love it!

It seemed like he was excited to do this one, I always appreciate when that happens because you know you're going to get a very cool piece out of it
