This is so compelling. Corben is a master of light, volume and color. The end result is fantastic, erotic and grotesque. I'm gonna keep throwing my money at Dark Horse in hopes they print the rest of Corben's back catalogue.

dvo finished reading The Ring of the Nibelung, Vol. 1 by P. Craig Russell (The Ring of the Nibelung, #1)
I absolutely loved the experience of reading this. Colours are pretty bland. Russell's hand lettering is excellent. His draftsmanship is solid. It's more than the sum of its parts at the end of the day

To anyone that wants to get into the opera, this is the perfect companion. P Craig Russell renders what a staging can only imply. You've got an English text to supplement listening to the opera. It's just such a good use of comics as a medium.

dvo finished reading Brought to Light by Alan Moore
Sienkiewicz's art for Shadowplay speaks to my sensibilities but I really appreciate the realism of Yeates' contribution for the La Penca Bombing half. Great primer on American foreign interference.

dvo finished reading Creepy Presents Bernie Wrightson by Howard Chaykin
I'm reading this on Hoopla digitally and while I enjoy it, the digital reproduction of the original images is quite poor. You really want the fidelity for how detailed Wrightson's drawings are.
The stories themselves vary in quality. Nightfall as a twisted version of Little Nemo and Cool Air, adapting Lovecraft are both excellent. Any stories where men exact violence on women are generally weak as stories but still strong graphically.
