Is This a Dagger ?

February 27, 2005

The Macbeth illustration I mentioned in my last entry, rendered in the style of Harry Clarke. Cool, I have that book ! I’m pretty sure mine isn’t worth a hundred bucks though… Excuse the slight barrelling, I had to take a photo with my digicam, as the CS10 was warping too much to stay flat [...]

Say Hello, Wave Goodbye

February 26, 2005

Returning to the last review and Avengers Disassembled, I’ve now read the full graphic, instead of it being a monthly piecemeal, and come to the conclusion that this is one of the finest pieces of story-telling in comics today.

We Three….

February 19, 2005

A crop of an image I did a few months ago, not my first visit to the work of Macbeth.. but my last was a tad more unusual. It doesn’t reside on the site but it’s a pen and ink illustration in the style of Harry Clarke, illustrator of Poe’s ‘Tales of Mystery and Imagination’ [...]

But the connection is there, as Osamu Tezuka, commonly known as ‘The Godfather of Manga’, and revered in Japan as being responsible for the style of contemporary Japanese comic books and anime, had freely admitted. Tezuka was influenced by the films of Disney in his youth and had reportedly [...]

Noises Off

February 10, 2005

Well, either I’m an idiot or nothing seems to work for me. So from now on all comments are on auto-shutdown after 14 days. I did have this on previously but it seems to have disappeared into the ether, and the comment moderation box has been filling up on a daily basis. At least they’re [...]

What Becomes of the Broken Hearted

February 9, 2005

Now and then, I get asked why I don’t review any actual comics on the site, just graphics. The main reason for this is that I believe it to be unfair on the book, the creators and publishing house to either praise or berate one issue of what could possibly be a successful long-running saga [...]
