DIAMOND COMICS 4




Selections

Aidan Koch's spread. It is visually coherent and plays with structure in an 'organic' way. The left page a mess of pre-sleep imagery, the right page a mess bound by dream structure. The transition between the two curves around the lower left triangle of the left page.

Matt Lock's 'perfect' left page. Where does one go with that perfection, that symmetry? Love that tension, moving forward, moving down, the tension of symmetry in a left-to-right sequential context, the weight of the unread right page bearing upon the eyes. So much build-up but where can it go?



Wet Paint by JTM




Like a tour around the better parts of America given by an insurgent comedian. I got this with Pines 2 and they go well together. Amazing phrases written 'out of necessity', like funny jokes that someone remembers years later in prison, that become the only links to a previous life. Loose phrases written desperately, desperate phrases written loosely.
