I bought the first issue of that comic and it was ok, but #2 was fantastic.

Otoyomegatari, The Bride's Story, by the mangaka Kaoru Mori just recently celebrated it's 10 years of serialisation in October and I figured I'd do a bit of a dump of some of the cover pages of each chapter.

The series tells the tales of several people, particularly Brides, on the Silk Road during the 19th Century. It's an absolutely amazing historical work and well worth your time should you seek it out.

I absolutely adore her attention to detail in pretty much every page that gets released. Her line work in particular is just sublime :allears:
















(Sorry if this is too many pages. Tried to limit it as much as possible)

Yeah, that's really strong. Every line counts and describes something rather than being just about style like Lee, Leifeld and McFarlane are guilty of a lot. Reminds me a little of Bernie Wrightson's incredible illustrations for Frankenstein.

I'm always impressed with artists who don't feel a need to draw lines around everything and instead allow for contrast and textural patterns to describe depth and form. Took me a long time to learn this and it's one of the best things I absorbed in art school. Too many artists start with outlining every shape in a piece and then fill them in, which is also largely how most comics are actually produced - pencils + inks + color and most times it really shows.

Pencils: lines/where everything is

inks: Shadows/texture/contrast

Color: Paint by numbers usually

Which is why a ton of comics look a lot like coloring books.

I remember a scene in a 90s DC comic where there were multiple Batmen. I thought it was Zero Hour, but I checked and it wasn't that.

Any clues?

I only have excellent ideas
Kaoru Mori is wonderful. It's not quite as much a showcase for her gorgeous art, but her earlier comic Emma is a great period melodrama with the same eye for historical detail and texture.

Yeah, I still have a book about "Citroën in comics" which featured that one, it's both fascinating and hilarious that someone compiled enough references for a book full of them btw.

Illustrators have always done this to some degree. Now it's just easier to spot because of the internet.

Along those lines, I still marvel at how well MAD Magazine used to render characitures in their movie parodies considering how limited their reference material must have been. They had to have been provided with stills from the films or something. Anyone know?
