paulnewmanseyes posted:I'm never quite sure how fair it is to call it Mignola's work, really. By the end of the second Plague of Frogs HC, I think his input was down to having a phone call once every miniseries with Arcudi to discuss where the plot was going. That's absolutely wrong, the big plot always comes from Mignola and he always looks over scripts and edits dialogue or gives Arcudi pointers. Plus he's doing the covers for the series and if you notice he does the designs for new characters that Guy Davis then adapted. Plus at that point he was doing covers for the series, he's very modest and says Arcudi does the heavy lifting but it's all Mignola plots. By the way if you all like the production behind the Hellboy and BPRD books check out the Manara Library editions Dark Horse started putting out last year, they really are fantastic. Even if you're not familiar with the mans work the first volume is completely stand alone and has one of Manara's and Hugo Pratt's very best stories in it. If anybody is really hesitant I can snap some pictures of volume 1 and volume 2. In Volume 2 they use two papers stocks one glossy for the in color first story, and the second a more matte but still very nice paper stock for the black and white story. That's just some great attention to detail you hardly see from publishers these days. JackDarko fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Feb 13, 2012 |

paulnewmanseyes posted:Huh, cool! I'd always been concerned that his name on it was a bit of a swizz, so it's nice to know that he earns his keep (so to speak). Thanks for being so cool about that didn't want it to come off like I was attacking you, but yeah Mignola puts in work. It's difficult to say if that comes from Pratt or Manara, the stories I've read from just Pratt like Corto Maltese have none of that in them. I get the feeling he gives Manara the stuff he wants to draw, or is it what the European audiences want?

paulnewmanseyes posted:Hmmm. Hard to say, then. I'd assumed from the fact that Manara's self-penned story in Volume One was, while hardly progressive, at least non-rapey, that it was Pratt, but I guess you never can tell who's responsible for what (edit: Which, thinking about it, is a nice circular ending to this conversation). Anyway, it's an artists book, and the art is stellar, so I'm not too concerned. I'll make this my last reply just to not annoy you. I can't help but reply! I am very excited about it I am pretty sure Warren wrote the solicit and it shows how much he cares about the book that he mentions it has really good paper right there in the solicit. I don't think it will involve any of that but it is supposed to be 7 volumes long with 3 separate erotic volumes, so who knows. I've searched and searched and there's no interviews about the books or anything I guess their target market are really just Manara fans. Thanks for linking that by the way I had not read it before, and it's making me think about comic criticism in that I agree that a writer should work with an artist to become a cartoonist not to over power the other.

Has anybody gotten the New X-men Omnibus reprint? Is it worth getting? As long as it's comparable to the other omnibus i'll be satisfied, just curious.

Rhyno posted:The Omni looks pretty good man, my phone died or I'd post pictures. It's average Omni sized unlike the SImonson Thor book so binding shouldn't be too much of an issue. Does it have the same cover Amazon shows?

TheLoser posted:So the new edition of Scott Pilgrim is pretty drat great. Fairbairn's colors go perfectly with O'Malley's older style of drawing. I always thought the first volume looked kinda ugly but people like my girlfriend keep telling me it's the best looking out of all the books. Is the binding sewn or glued?
