In Kingdom Come, Alex Ross breathed life in a graphic novel which
depicted an older Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman
facing a future where heroism has gone darkly, violently wrong.
It presents a world much like our own today which seems to be spinning inexorably out of control.
Ross’ painted, hyper-realistic visuals may be the most awe-inspiring in modern comics.

In his words:
"There is always something to learn from the past if you only open your mind to look at it."

ReplyDeleteAs a kid, I was really into Boris Vallejo and Frank Frazetta artwork.
I'm a Frank Frazetta man myself! :-) John William Waterhouse is a favorite traditional artist of the pre-Raphaelite period. His Ariadne gave rise to my Caretaker tale of her ultimate fate https://www.wikiart.org/en/john-william-waterhouse/ariadne-1898
DeleteAll day yesterday, I was in my past due to a letter from 1971 that I decided to read again. So your quote above is timely for me. I do have a favorite artist, but now his name escapes me. Old age, what can I say?
ReplyDeleteHey, it is not old age. It is just information overload from all you've experienced. :-) I suffer from that, too!
DeleteI owe a ton of gratitude and respect to you brother.
ReplyDeleteIf not for you I would of had no clue who Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman and a few other great writers and artists were.
By doing so, you provided comfort and relief to/for me, during a very trying turbulent time.
Plus your brotherly friendship was a blessing I needed more than anything.
Thank you, Robert. You were a blessing to me, too. I seldom visit FB, but I know your wife is ill. I am praying for her ... and you, of course.
