Muth which they published, and 'Epic Illustrated' was a worthwhile diversion from the regular Marvel stable.<br /><br />Funny, I used to see Steve Bissette all the time at comic conventions around New England back in the day. He was a regular on the circuit during the late '80s and early '90s. I remember him giving me props on the sample artwork I submitted to a Marvel talent scout who was on a panel with him at one when I was 11 or so years old. He was pushing a self-published book called 'Taboo,' which was not-at-all intended for children and totally blew my mind, at the time. Cool guy, with a real adventurous spirit, and a dope artist.<br /><br />Oh, and since you mentioned him...If you've never read Rick Veitch's 'Bratpack,' a dark, offensive, sort-of stomach-churning riff on kiddie-sidekicks in the deconstructionist/satirical spirit of Alan Moore's 'Watchmen' and pretty much everything Frank Miller has done, which was published by TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman's post-Mirage company Tundra during the early '90s, you should peep it.El Keterhttp://www.imageyenation.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2517402587438583947.post-66490984295951756342009-04-30T02:12:00.000-07:002009-04-30T02:12:00.000-07:00I love the cover art too...its the main reason i'l...I love the cover art too...its the main reason i'll buy a book...its always better than the inside art anyway...Foxy not-so Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547319247983568943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2517402587438583947.post-6530429397727385042009-04-30T02:01:00.000-07:002009-04-30T02:01:00.000-07:00dope, I love some classic comic book cover art...i...dope, I love some classic comic book cover art...it's the medium I learned to draw from-copying old superhero poses, but also the fonts/typography, which eventually became graffiti for me.P4Design.orghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13871257690053044001noreply@blogger.com
