Description“Can I helllllp yoooou?” The Pale Pilgrim welcomes Levi with open arms into his cathedral of inevitable, unstoppable industry.I love the Wrightson-esque feathering on the Pilgrim's visage in panel three, with the blood/oil trickling down his chin... Brrrrr… Ram and Mike’s ‘The Swamp Thing’ was a horror tale with hope at its core; a modern day parable within which one of the most pressing real world crises - that of the state of the environment - was given both a champion (in Swamp Thing and the Parliament of Green) and a nemesis (in the Pale Pilgrim and the Parliament of Gears). As thrilling as it was to tune in each month to see how everything was going to turn out, Mike and Ram allowed that the ultimate fate of humankind will be determined by something far scarier than even the gaping maw of the Pale Pilgrim’s insatiable hunger: ourselves. So grateful to be able to display some beautiful consecutive pages from this incredible run. Thank you, Rubén and Mike! (Find more of Mike’s artwork at comicbookartgallery.com !) Social/Sharing |

Mike’s lines he made The Stand and shook up the views of the artwork fan
And the Swamp Thing drawn from coast to coast
Levi's the man we love the most
Could Ram V, could Ram V’s scary dream
And smash any cogs of Da Industry?
As the thick lines says your gears are loose
There's inks on your page and brush on it too
One of these days they're gonna loosen the screws yeah

There's beautiful technique all over this page but I have to admit, the inset panel with the Pale Pilgrim closeup is the primary thing that tempted me, even more than the Swamp Thing closeup at the bottom. It's so beautifully lit! Creeptastic comes to mind, among other words. Overall, a high level page from an instant classic series that will in the coming years undoubtedly achieve "legendary" status.

A real etherial quality, with the textures and the lighting. I haven't read the book, so don't know what's going on, but I can tell it's a key moment, and there's a plaintive element that Perkins exudes. A lot easier said than done to do. Congrats, man!

Ooh, this is the next page to the one you posted last! Sequential panel pages are the best. This is another beaut. Yeah, as Ruben says, "creeptastic" is a good word for that third (closeup) panel. Great last panel too. This is all just such intriguing art for an (I'm sure) very intriguing story which I WILL read someday soon.

Perkins graduated into a league of his own with this series. Absolutely stunning work.

This piece keeps the cogs working. I love how much Swamp thing there is in there.
