I was the art kid all through school, the guy who could draw any thing you threw at me, and being a comic book artist was my calling - now I'm broke and unemployed and can't draw anymore(I took up being a writer)... but man, Sienkiewicz's take on the New Mutants blew me away, and opened up the vistas of how comics could be presented for me. I remember vividly his run on the New Mutants, especially with this issue and the following, which was an acid trip compared to the stuff prior... great post.jackbnimblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07457470783362239085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-12029553911020080432008-07-30T10:44:00.000-07:002008-07-30T10:44:00.000-07:00Tastes vary.

I guess I was around 13 when the 'Demon Bear' arc came around and I loved it too; I mean, were they really going to kill off poor Dani or what? I wasn't nearly as jaded then as I am now so that was a real fear! As far as Bill Sienkiewicz went, I think I fell below that age limit; I never really liked his art much.

It opened my eyes to new forms of comic art, as well as being among my most treasured posessions. The second reason was that I read the latest Claremont X-Men today - and have decided to give up on it. The man has become such a parody of himself it is scary - I just put down the comic, realised I am 34 and understood bugger all that had gone on.

That was bizarre!) should receive a Visionaries treatment, preferably in hardcover.<BR/><BR/>Has any Spider-Man cast/villain ever gotten a better send-off than Harry? I think it's terrific that DeMatteis got Sal's art for Spec #200 and decided to simply not dialogue any of the final pages because they were that powerful on their own. And they were. I think the first time I read it I actually had tears in my eyes because I felt so bad for both Harry and Peter!<BR/><BR/>(well, as for better send-offs, there's Aunt May, I actually cried my eyes out there, and look who wrote that ;))<BR/><BR/>At the very least there should be an Essential New Mutants by now, shouldn't there?

The Legion story is my favorite from that era. <BR/><BR/>Go find the Dazzler comics he did the covers for. No, seriously. They're amazing! (just don't open them...)<BR/><BR/>And the artists he inspired! Dave McKean, David Mack, Ashley Woods, Ted McKeever, Ben Templesmith: all quality, all different yet sharing Sienkiewicz's jaggedly surrealism. <BR/><BR/>Okay, I sound like a 13 year-old talking about the latest action movie ("it's like so awesome dude if u don't like it U SUCK"), so I'll stop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-1126892269594741792005-09-16T10:37:00.000-07:002005-09-16T10:37:00.000-07:00"Helfer's Shadow, and the Howard Chayking miniseri..."Helfer's Shadow, and the Howard Chayking miniseries that preceded it, are the bee's knees. Conde Nast was so horrified by it they forced DC to cancel it mid-storyline."<BR/><BR/>Was that the story that featured the Shadow and Shi-Wan Khan's heads being removed and placed on the rock'em sock'em robots? It's been ages since I read that series but that was some crazy stuff.<BR/><BR/>AndyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
