Description

Alex Raymond's skills were unmatched in the comic strips... or at least that is my opinion, and not to detract from any other artist of the same era. This example from his Rip Kirby run has fantastic composition, dynamic inking and lighting contrasts, Rip, Count Carno, Mink and Snake. Pretty much all you could ask for from three panels. Graphite, pen and ink on paper, 20 x 6.

Good old fashioned crime busting theme with the dark shadows providing cover!  Deep inks by Raymond opens up a whole new thrilling experience for danger and tension!

Love the use of blacks to show light sources and shadows.  A masterclass in three panels!
