Sunday May 06th 2012, 12:02 amOn this fine day of comics celebration partaken by fired up comics shops everywhere, we here got the special pleasure of hosting a very good artist for a few hours. His most recent work is on the Archaia Press edition of Dark Crystal. The work is quite impeccable and certainly earned the brief stint it had with a well deserved place on the New York Times Best Seller list when it had been first released. And to top it off is the fact that I’ve known this artist for almost two decades, and proud to call him my friend. He’s had a long road to get to this point, but now more and more fans are discovering his talents and enjoying his craftsmanship greatly, as witnessed when seeing the delighted faces at the sketches he would do in their copy of the book. If you’ve not seen the Dark Crystal volume one book yet, I suggest that you seek out a copy immediately. In times like this when comics are at a peak profile from high powered films like The Avengers featuring the full gamut of hollywood might, and having days of free give-away comics being promoted on TV news programs, its best to remember that other types of work are still in need of attention, produced by artists that may not be as well known but love the medium all the same. Artists like my friend Alex.
