I just reread GRENDEL KENTUCKY by @Jeff_Mccomsey @tommyleeedwards Giovanna Niro and Workman(legend) on letters and my gosh what a wonderful book. Jeff's dialogue is perfect, Tommy is a monster and the book looks gorgeous @AWA_Studios just makes bangers




Todays inspiration JPL channeling Toth on these Tom Strong pages One of the few who could make "quiet scenes" as powerful as his action




JPL and Workman giving a masterclass on page design on this story by @WalterSimonson The tiny riddler on the first panel last page is just perfect




Take a Toppi Break with me won't you? Master of texture, design, use of negative space and scale.

Today's inspiration Rodolfo Damaggio's Captain America Storyboards

Some Rodolfo Damaggio to end your week right

As comics get more "widescreen" I've really come to appreciate the sweet, skinny, vertical panels of Miller's DD

we do not spend enough time gushing over how great John Bogdanove is. Great Cartooning skills, amazing draftsmanship and gestures. From a new mutants annual and X-terminators

Kurtzman. I want comics to be colored like this again

Urasawa's celebrity portraits are the best

my favorite Neal Adams stuff was his comic strip work...what a legend

Toth famously said " Strip it down to the essentials and Draw the hell out of what's left". Calling something "simple" because of a lack of (over)rendering implies that less lines = less work. Here's Toth keeping it Simple

Little Breakdowns of the "hellboy style" made by @TadStones for the Hellboy animated shows to capture the @artofmmignola magic. So great https://t.co/wiUceHtiKC

Let's spend Monday gushing over Barry Windsor-Smith, shall we? This is the closest we will get to seeing how Michelangelo would've drawn comics. Classic draftsmanship and beautiful storytelling
