I leave the place for 5 minutes, and this what happens. Huge Vag!nas. Monkey costume guy with his junk hanging out. Sigh.

So allow me to wash out your brain with some various stuff that I’ve seen on the comics interweb lately. These are things that have been inspiring me as I work on issue #3. We’ve already seen what’s inspiring Matt…

Evan Dorkin posted Jaime Hernandez con sketches from the early 80’s on his blog. Holy mother of cripes.

Michael Lark interviews Sean Phillips. Phillips is the artist on Criminal, which for my money is probably the best comic you’re going to find on the stands today (except for Division 18, natch). You probably also know his work from Marvel Zombies and Sleeper. You’ve seen Michael Lark’s art on Gotham Central, Daredevil and plenty of other projects.

What am I reading these days? I’ve been deep into Norton’s collections of Will Eisner’s graphic novels lately. While the case could of course be made that the stories are too melodramatic, I find them more readable and more graphically inventive than The Spirit. You can find a lot more examples as well as a deeper look at Eisner’s art at Warren Peace Sings the Blues.
