Great cartoonist. Pity there's not any more of his pieces on here!
Julie Doucet is a fantastic cartoonist. One of the greats, truly, and that is a GREAT page!I feel she mapped out a very specific way of storytelling that was personal to her but influenced many, many others. To say nothing of her actual DRAWING, to go from the relative crudity of her early stuff for Weirdo, then to this, represents a big leap in sophistication. I could look at this page for days and days, really any page from this comic. What a great score. Kudos!
Wow, You have a first edition as Obadiah Oldbuck?! Impressive! And it is very, very cool how Mr. Ware has aped the drawing style so well....it's almost indistinguishable! He can draw in so many different styles (as evidenced by his published sketchbooks), it's truly breathtaking. "The Last Great Cartoonist", indeed! Thanks so much for sharing this!
Almot reminds me of a cross between max andersonn and Glenn Head! Good stuff.
And that Bob Levin interview was bloody epic. Such a pity his situation has deteriorated so much since I posted last...
I love this cover, such a powerful image! My commitment to Crap shall never waiver!!!
Ah, didn't read the description before I posted that last comment! Such a shame...in retrospect the scythe wielded by Milt seems kinda prophetic in the light of your revelation...you were right...we wuz ROBBED!!!
HUGE J.R Williams fan and I agree he's one of the under=rated greats of "alternative" cartooning....in my opinion that short run of Crap comics (was this the last issue? If so gotta hit ebay, methinks, 1 to 7 have been in my sweaty grasp for a while now!) was as good as, if not better than, Bagge's Buddy Bradley stories at their PEAK...I dunno, I just think Mr. Williams had (has) a genuine artistic sensitivity that was for the most part lacking in Bagge's work, as great as it was...and I must say Mr. Williams is a very generous Fakebook correspondent who always has time for his fans (well, he always has time for ME, at any rate, but I'm sure he's like that with anyone who loves his work and asks intelligent questions or whatever!), I've had some great, long, P.M's/chats with him....seems like a very nice, sincere gentleman. And that makes me love his work even more! Yet again, another wonderful piece!
Amazing piece from one of the first TCJ's I bought! Great to see the b & w line work as the esteemed Mr. Ng Suat Tong previously mentioned....I am a HUGE fan of Mr. Cooper's work and a beautiful piece like this elicits such envy! But, Kudos, Mr. Callo, kudos on purchasing such a fabulous piece from a gallery full of top=notch (soz hyphen key broken!) art!!!
Why does "everyone talk about" this page? What is so special about it? Because, forgive me, I know it must mean a lot to you but it does diddly-squat for me. Apart from the nice balance of blacks. But I am honestly wondering why everyone talks about this...I don't even know what series it's from...
Great piece! Just noticed that you're the illustrious Sparklepony--I had a great laugh over the Gallery Baum Bushmiller fakes--it was I who wondered in the comments what pen Bushmiller used. Have you found out yet? I'd really like to know.... All the best! Ant (Vollsticks)
What a great piece! Been reading your accounts of meeting Kirby and his wife with interest! A great gallery! All the best, Ant
This is great, I love Robert Armstrongs work, he's kind of under-recognised in the pantheon of the great underground artists....but he shouldn't be, he's as good as any of them folks!
BEAUTIFUL! That Bristol board looks like bloody plywood--they had PROPER paper in those days!
Such a deft hand PERIOD! I love love love Steve Rude--he was the first cartoonist "as artist" that I was aware of as a young kid. And I've stayed with him all these years, a master, no doubt. Great piece Mr. Hester.
Just brilliant. So glad she did the New New York Diary comic, I was fiending for new Doucet! Beautiful, lush piece.
Ahhh...non-repro blue pencil! I concur with you fellas--Mary Fleener is great. Wonderful piece!
I think he's so under-rated--it's a pity that Reynold's career as "Fantagraphics Guy" has overshadowed his work as a cartoonist.
This is such a good scan, every brushstroke crisp, each masterfully-applied bit of white-out there for all to see...this image encapsulates EVERYTHING I love about original comic art...the only thing that'd make it better would be a touch of non-repro blue pencil :)
Such a great story, it's so good that he's getting better. I saw he got married recently, too.
Wonderful piece, Jeremy Eaton is SUCH a ridiculously under-rated cartoonist.
