Neal Adams invented modern comics storytelling. He is a god among men, even if he spent 20 years forcing other artists to draw just the way he did.
Enough love for ya?
It'll do.

John Byrne is not really on his level. I just wanted to say that to get shit riled up, but I couldn't hold in the truth much longer.

I inserted the bold, Leck. Please look at my sig below.
How much is too much? That’s my constant question while telling a story. There’s a delicate balance between words and pictures in a comic book story, and it’s easy to get carried away in one direction or the other and flood the reader with too much.
That’s why I like doing sketches. They help me understand how this world I’m portraying will work visually. I’m studying the characters to understand - maybe determine - how they look, move, behave and act. I go and research places and try to translate somewhere I’ve been, or a picture I’ve seen, into a drawing, figuring out how many details to include and what to leave out.
I did a lot of sketches for DAYTRIPPER. They helped me bring our story to life.

ROBOT 6's newest contributor Matt Seneca casts an analytical eye over a three-panel sequence by acclaimed artist Frank Quitely in his story from 1995's "Dark Horse Presents" #92.
The first issue of John Rozum and Frazer Irving’s XOMBI arrived to a lot of great reviews from the comics press. What did the critics have to say about XOMBI #1?
Here’s a sampling…
“I haven’t read a book this intriguingly and engagingly weird since I first dropped into Grant Morrison’s THE INVISIBLES.”
-Ain’t It Cool News
“We’re getting into Grant Morrison-esque avant-garde weirdness here, and somehow, the nanite-injected, super-powered, and immortal David Kim is the calm epicenter at the eye of this weirdness, and the reader’s doorway into the world. I love it.”
-Newsarama
“The team-up of John Rozum and Frazer Irving, for this book, makes it a must read. It’s a refreshing break from all the super-hero books swarming the shelves, and it will captivate you from the get-go.”
-Comic Vine
“The story that Rozum has begun to craft is intriguing, and should engage readers old and new alike … Everything has a sense of the surreal, and Irving’s knack for creating disturbing facial imagery is put to great use.”
-IGN
“Irving can draw the dark and gloomy, but more importantly the crazy and fantastic. So when a Rustling Husk shows up out of nowhere, it’s creepy and surprising, and his depiction of Mr. Hyde is gruesome. But at the same time, Irving’s people are rooted firmly in reality, looking remarkably life-like. I think that’s a perfect touch for “Xombi,” since it makes the nastiness rising up around them feel that much more dangerous.”
-Comic Book Resources
“Xombi is away to the races with a first issue that’s gorgeous, gripping and something different to everything else in my weekly stack.”
-iFanboy
“Rozum does a great job at reintroducing the character to both new and old audiences, and Irving’s artwork is amazing … a great starting point.”
-Platform Nation
“I’m going to recommend picking up Xombi #1. The groundwork is firmly in place for an adventure and some solid storytelling. I believe wrier John Rozum and artist Frazer Irving will take us readers on a great ride.”
-ScienceFiction.com
“We could have a real winner on our hands.”
-Comics Bulletin
It’s not too late to jump on board – XOMBI #2 hits stands later this month.
We have an extra treat for Frazer Irving fans here: his variant cover to BATMAN INC. #6, on sale in May!

It is super hard for me to believe that Mobeius is gone. Jean Henri Gaston Giraud passed away at the age of 73 on March 10, 2012. I remember reading The Incal graphic novels by EPIC and thinking that he had some of the best compositional flow of any artist that I've ever read. I also remember that a lot of his technical stuff was so amazingly simple and complex at the same time. Just searching for his art on the web made me realize what an incredible amount of work he has produced in his lifetime. I know there was a time when Katsuhiro Otomo and him were discussing making an animated version of The Airtight Garage, which I was so freakishly stoked on. Unfortunately, that never happened but I am thrilled he left so many works behind for us to enjoy and I can't wait to discover them all. Thank you so much! Your work will live on to inspire generations of artists forever. Pour Moebius... Merci beaucoup pour le voyage.
