I already have a much-loved copy - signed, <I>nogal</I> - so I'm just here to talk about comics! <BR/><BR/>I devoured everything I could lay my hands on as a kid (DC, EC, Marvel), following my favourite writers and illustrators from title to title, but the greatest revelations during my formative years were perhaps the 'Crisis' series (the short-lived offshoot of 2000AD, not the DC title) for its political tub-thumping and liberal doses of sex-'n'-drugs, and, definitely, the toe-curlingly fantabulous Love and Rockets for... pretty much everything. Until I discovered the loco world of Los Bros Hernandez, women in comics generally looked (and behaved) like missile-breasted men. Maybe with swords. In Jaime and Gilbert's world, the wild and rebellious chicas grew fat, got bad haircuts, died, formed punk bands, joined gangs, went on drunken rampages and dated masked mexican wrestlers. You know, just like real-life. Only drawn better. And I mean MUCH better - Jaime H is hands-down the best illustrator of women alive. Probably.<BR/>(Oops, I'll stop now - apologies to Miller, Mills, Moore, Milligan, Hewlett, Bisley, Morrison, Gaiman, McKean and everyone else I've left out.)<BR/><BR/>In fact, it's not hard to see why I'm a fan of your work, Jesse - you have similarly identifiable and endearingly fallible characters - and that beautifully crisp and economical line that I've never quite been able to master.<BR/><BR/>Okay, okay - I'm leaving already... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30569327.post-17463995651125538792008-07-29T16:17:00.000+02:002008-07-29T16:17:00.000+02:00okay, hands down white ninja comics.it's dark and ...okay, hands down white ninja comics.<BR/>it's dark and sweet and naive and unPC but it's great.
