It's funny because it's sad.
В последнем линкспаме (давайте не будем притворяться, что это кто-нибудь читает), я помимо прочего ссылалась на статью Мэтта Сенеки о Light Comitragies, инди-комиксе начала 70-х годов прошлого века.
Сенека написал вот что:
When Irons did make comics, though, the results were just about always outstanding — and Light is the crown jewel of his enviable oeuvre.
It’s also the most compelling artifact to have emerged from a very strange time for non-mainstream American comics.
...
Light is one of the first color underground comics, and even today it remains a downright eye-searing piece of work, its benday tones screaming off the page with the power of a heavily distorted guitar riff. Irons’s work in the labor-intensive field of poster art had long since familiarized him with the nuts and bolts of how mid-20th century color printing worked (knowledge even the vast majority of superhero artists remained ignorant of), and by 1971, Irons was a master of his craft, cutting intricate webs and sizzling tone flares out of the Rubylith overlays that color comics were assembled from.
...
The comic’s remaining space is taken up entirely by silent, nightmarish images of war and death, both ominously futuristic and unsettlingly primitive, all of them described in grotesque detail by Irons’ meticulous, knotty pen lines and brought to life by the sickly neon glow of his masterful coloring, finally settling on a black and white image of scattered bones and weaponry with a single red rose growing from within the skull in the foreground. It’s the best post-apocalyptic comic ever by a longshot, its very lack of a continuous narrative what pulls it together into a cohesive story of a world too far gone to make any kind of sense anymore. It’s also a head-on collision of experimental comics with genre, one that basically lays out the blueprint for everything interesting that Heavy Metal ever put out, as well as more than a few of today’s most notable alt-comics. Irons goes Kirby one better as a pure image-maker with his depictions of hulking monsters, brutal clashes between musclebound warriors, and complex war machinery; and the twin tangibility and otherworldliness of the glimpses he gives us into his imagination stands shoulder to shoulder with anything Moebius ever drew.
Ну и так далее.
Да, мне стало интересно.
Да, я это скачала.
Под картинкой-катом он целиком. Наслаждайтесь.
Ну и отдельно можно скачать в несжатом виде.

02.07.2012 в 10:25Я вообще чем дальше погружаюсь в мир андерграундных комиксов, тем большие открываю для себя... грани реальности.
Ну и отдельно про то, что Мэтт Сенека -
ебанькоинтересный юноша с интересными взглядами. Но тут я его в кои-то веки в принципе могу понять.-
