Yogurtland and rainbow sprinkles await —or as we called them in my childhood, "Jimmies"...
Wonderfully restrained use of flesh tone implies godlike, celestial, or similarly otherworldly characteristics. Going to keep my eye on Mr. Weaver.
At this moment in time, this is probably my single favorite work on paper in my collection.
And like Bill said on CAF+ last night, it's one of the last Dueling Dealers branded sketchcards, too!
If Death was a mascot for the General Mills Monster cereals, with Booberry already representing blueberries, would She be boysenberry? Would it be a bowl full of marshmallows?
I suspect it's the angle, but I choose to think it's a hoof and Santa is actually father to the reindeer.
That subtle addition of pink helps to pop the delicate lettering, and what a brave experiment, as a shade or two darker and it might have obscured rather than highlighted.
It's also interesting to see how differently artists approach the "ears" on Batman's cowl. Where Kelley Jones would have made them seem almost antenna-like, Rossmo opts for a barely-there approach —which gives the feel of a feral attack dog, with ears low and tight to the head.
I love it when the lettering is so clearly hamd rendered. It lends a kind of bootleg quality that captures the magic of reading comics that were probably a tad mature for us as little kids.
There's a cross reference here that I haven't seen anyone mention yet. On the surface there is a tribute to San Sebastian as depicted in Renaissance paintings but from a layout perspective there is a Tarot card feel along the lines of several minor arcana Sword cards but mostly the Nine. It blends well into a new classic iconography.
Curt Swan had a magnificent gift for presenting absurdity with a supposition of normality. I mean, here's this hole in the fabric of reality and down tosses Superman. That's incredible.
Very reasonable 11x17 in. commission pricing, too!
Moebius is a case study in the power of simplicity, and a strong proponent of using natural colors to make technology look ubiquitous.
Perfect perspective grid here, with the bullseye just left and above the center and all angles jetting outward from there.
An aesthetically better title page than Hulk 181
You would have loved one of the Cream Lemon cels I used to own.
Esad's interior color work is some of the best sequential art of the modern era, and this page captures a sense of adventure that's perfect for a first page.
It would be enough to have perhaps the best page of the Moore/Bissette-Totleben collaboration, but then they went and made it a cover, too!
I had no idea that Kamandi ran this long. I discovered after looking it up that it ran 59 issues. Crazy!
Alcala really elevates everything he touches.
First of his interior work I've ever seen, and it might be better than his covers.
She was a joy to commission. Fast turnaround, too.
Perhaps the only comment I ever seen to reference the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood! Truly, in keeping with the homage to James Jean —Thanks!
Evidence that it wasn't just DC and Marvel's production photographer that was cutting skewed lines atop the artwork after filming it? Or did this mangaka run out of comic board and resort to a remaindered piece? Or was it damaged after the fact? Find out on the next episode of CUT CORNERS!
I don't know this comic at all, but I love this image. Cliff is always elevating the game.
This page stood out to me when I first read the issue. Stunning.
Hot Damn! Never seen one of these JHW3 covers in person, and very rarely even here on CAF. Masterpiece art, here.
It was good to see this in person. Haberlin excels at Death.
Don't besmirch the great Bob McCleod with such scandalous and potentially libelous accusations!
