I like the art, reminds me of some of Barry Moser's or Chris Van Allsburg's stuff. I had not heard of this "1602" by Gaiman as I am pretty out of touch with comics these days, but it may be worth checking out. posted by marxchivist at 2:24 PM on September 26, 2007
1602 is fantastic, for fans of the Marvel pantheon. All the classic Marvel heroes, but in Elizabethan England for some reason (not provided until the end of the series). Entertaining & funny. And thanks for the links, jstruan, I knew on some level I liked the covers for 1602 but a greater exploration of McKowen's art is in order. posted by jonson at 2:46 PM on September 26, 2007
Not notable! I nearly dropped $50 on a bunch of old books I already had when I saw his covers. posted by jstruan at 2:51 PM on September 26, 2007
He's kidding. Jeeze! posted by jonson at 3:12 PM on September 26, 2007
I never related the covers of 1602 to the cover of Going Postal before this, but now it seems obvious.
I like this guy's work. posted by Tuwa at 5:45 PM on September 26, 2007
These are really cool - they look just like etchings (which I guess makes sense, considering the medium). posted by OverlappingElvis at 5:57 PM on September 26, 2007
Scratchboard -- hah! That's a medium for losers who can't handle pen 'n' ink. I'll take the amazing Franklin Booth anyday... posted by Bron at 7:32 PM on September 26, 2007
I love his version of Alice. Although I'm disappointed that he dresses her in typical Disney Alice blue. posted by Xere at 10:45 PM on September 26, 2007
He's also drawn the liveliest Heidi I've ever seen. posted by Xere at 10:46 PM on September 26, 2007
