Description
One of the best things about going to cons is discovering artists and books you otherwise would never have know about. The image of this child dressed with a homemade superhero suit facing a bleak landscape really appealed to me. I got this sketch on saturday and bought the second volume of Essex County Stories. I read it in line for the con the next day and was blown away. The story was very poigniant but what I was most impressed with was the storytelling. Even the greatest storytellers in comics could learn lessons from Jeff's approach. I can't say enough about his work. I asked him for a second commission on the next day of the two main characters in the book. I picked up volume 3 and will have to get into one of the more ecclectic comic stores to pick volume 1. Volume 3 was also a great read. Everyone should buy and read these 3 comics, a new bar has been set.

Jeff, I can't believe it took you that long to read these. Haven't I been praising them. My piece is very similar, but I went with the red cape. Great piece though.
