Hob_Gadling posted:A few of my favorites. Will Eisner is one of the most expressive artists when it comes to human emotions. I would kill so many people for the ability to do lettering like that. I have absolute chicken scratch handwriting so it's very cruel that I like comic hand lettering so much.

Look at the way the lettering is literally weeping in "Only the tears of ten thousand weeping angels could cause such a deluge!" What other artists do that kind of thing with such wonderful context? I can't think of any mainstream comics that are hand-lettered any more. e: vvv well yeah Eisner was Jewish so I doubt that's accidental. And I don't read Hebrew so thanks for explaining that, I'd never have gotten it otherwise. One of those things an artist tucks into his work like, did you get that? No? that's okay, the rest of the book is there for you. Flesh Forge fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Aug 3, 2013 |

Flesh Forge posted:This is something that you don't really see too much any more, hand-lettering that has a context other than an innovative way to draw "BANG" - look at the question marks, how they resemble Hebrew. I don't know if it is intentional or not, but the question marks that resemble Hebrew also resemble the double "yud" which is one of the ways the name of God is written in the Torah.

Another good touch is that he doesn't bother writing G_D or G-d or G*D or other "respecting God" self-censoring that Jewish people often do. He's REALLY questioning the almighty's will here.

That is so wonderfully clever and literal, I'm so glad you two explained that. Such a little thing as question marks, and they're pretty much the pivot point of the story (A Contract with God).

Pretty much all of Eisner's graphic novels are amazing. I read To the Heart of the Storm in one sitting without meaning to, his work moves you through it by itself more than you move yourself through it, it just flows so naturally.

I can't believe I forgot Tove Jansson. She drew Moomin comics for seven years, then started cooperating with her brother Lars who took over the illustrations. Moomin and Snorkmaiden are having a lovers quarrel (by Tove):  Moomin family ordering four marihuana on their Torrelorca vacation (by Lars):

This is a lot of pages so I hope that's ok. Also, forgive the scanning but giant hardcovers are hard to do with a flatbed without ripping all the pages out.       Thoughts on a relationship from Asterios Polyp by David Mazzucchelli

That was the issue where they gobbled the Silver Surfer. It boggles my mind why characters like him don't just soar high into the sky and bombard their enemies from a safe distance.

Sean Phillips didn't really put much effort into Marvel Zombies I noticed. Some pages are really good, some pages are just awful but there's no consistency. He's much better in small pulpy panels with Brubaker.

Marvel Zombies is total poo poo. Absolutely awful, felt so rushed art-wise and script is terrible.

I've always kind of suspected that the series existed because Marvel wanted an excuse to make those zombified versions of iconic covers.

 (Iron Man 14) It's supposed to be a "dramatic reveal" shot of Earth. Look at a goddamn map, Land. Guess Canada finally cracked in half and migrated even further north.

Everyone (understandably) focuses on Frank's gimp arm in that panel, but the horrifying expression on the woman in the foreground is like something out of a horror movie.

A pretty horrific cover by Francisco Perez. Lion-O and Panthro are auditioning for the role of Judge Dredd, while Cheetara is auditioning for strip club, and Snarf is now a badass.
