DescriptionSet in America in 2047, New Statesmen tells the story of a number of genetically modified "optimen", created with superhuman 'hard' and 'soft' talents, who were essentially biological weapons.Similar to contemporary comics such as Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns, New Statemen asked what 'superheroes' would be like if they were far more human than traditional heroes. The series depicted a dystopian future in which Britain had become the 51st state of America and the world is in the grip of fear of genetic engineering and political warmongering. Love how this awesome, poster-like page pops with such crisp design and stunning colour! All hand-painted by the magnificently skilled Baikie. Social/Sharing |

The colors on each panel hits a whole new gear in storytelling! Each one is a standout.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts, Daniel 🙏 I'm with you there - the pure dazzling light, colour and graphical sensibilities of this New Statemen page sold it to me above all the others I've recently seen come to market.
