Description
I'm happy to promote Colleen's work this week ahead of a gallery opening in NYC on Wednesday, and then an appearance by Colleen herself at MoCCA in early April.

Colleen is a fantastically talented and hard-working artist. She has spent a life in comics, and it mostly begins with her creator owned and executed space-opera epic, A Distant Soil. It is a lifelong labor of love that continues to evolve and progress.

There are experimentations and clues all over this page that, in retrospect, speak to the work Colleen will do later.

Here we have a searing moment in which Jason is seduced by Beys.

As a Colleen fan, I am relatively new to the scene, but you can find many more examples in the galleries of seasoned collectors like Miki and Jeremiah.

Is Jason really being seduced by Beys? Reading this page alone, it could easily be interpreted as Beys has clearly come on to him in the previous page, but Jason being the virginal little prude that he is, starts giving her the "I'm waiting until marriage" speech when he suddenly realizes the growing bulge in his pants and decides "Ah, fuck it, I wanna get laid!", so he quickly tells Bey that he loves her, in order to give himself the alibi he needs after the guilt from his shame comes roaring, post-copulation!

Beautiful linework and the background contrasts of white and then black frame the page perfectly as the situation becomes heated.

A beautiful and hypnotic page...  Especially when you're reading it, it weaves its spell on you through the richness of each panel; the clean foreground figures and luscious textures supporting them.  (is that band of roses a stat?  or are those penciled in...?)  My favorite is the seventh panel, which sports a bit of everything, beautifully textured.  Lovely pick up, M L - congrats!

Thanks Jason! Definitely a stat! But I wouldn't put it past Colleen to have done it by hand!

Beautiful artwork.  I still remember traveling from comic book store to comic book store in the pre-eBay mid-1990s trying to track down "A Distant Soil" back issues.  She really has put her all into this series.
