That intrigued me to no end at the time, and as you said, Giordano's inks made WW look beautiful and sexy, which she had never been before that time. By the same token, Sekowsky drew some very bizarre art in those days, as is evident by the JLA stories that he did which often seemed to be wedging in characters into the panel. There was almost with no sense of grounded placement or sense to his designs. I remember reading his work as a kid and just wondering what the heck he was trying to convey, as characters seemed to swim around each other in a surreal way. A very strange artist, but one that did have his good points, as was evident in the WW period that you noted.

]]> Comment on Gettin’ Introspective about Comics by TwoMorrows New Book Series Comics Introspective » Comics Worth Reading http://twomorrows.com/blog/tnt/gettin-introspective-about-comics/comment-page-1/#comment-12 TwoMorrows New Book Series Comics Introspective » Comics Worth Reading Sat, 17 Feb 2007 13:05:39 +0000 http://twomorrows.com/blog/tnt/gettin-introspective-about-comics/#comment-12 [...] TwoMorrows has announced a new book series, Comics Introspective. (Apparently, indy/alternative comic creators don’t qualify as “Modern Masters”, so they get this title. I kid.) First up, Peter Bagge (due in July). Editor Christopher Irving describes it as follows: “COMICS INTROSPECTIVE conveys what it’s like to hang out with an indy comics talent. … It’s done with a combination of original photography, multiple art gallery sections, and an introspective dialogue with each subject. Don’t expect a standard retrospective interview with these folks: these are in-depth, casual, yet often hard-hitting conversations that just happen to be documented in book form…. Too often, people are interviewed about what they’ve done, as opposed to who they are and why they’ve approached their careers and craft the way they have… as well as their theories about the comic book artform. … What I’m going for with COMICS INTROSPECTIVE is a real look inside the minds of these creators so that we can better understand where they’re coming from. Think of it as the book equivalent of kickin’ it at a bar with the likes of Peter Bagge or Dean Haspiel for a few hours.” [...] [...] TwoMorrows has announced a new book series, Comics Introspective.

I'd be all over that. Any chance you would consider a smaller Ultimate bundle of Jack Kirby Collector mags that haven’t been reprinted in trades? I’d be all over that.

Wow this is like being a kid again and waiting to see the latest issue. Thanks for this. I am awaiting word back from his daughter Lisa Kirby, at the moment, for my request to enter her father into my Hall of Fame being created on my website, where given permission he will head the section. Being the reason I became a comic artist and writer myself I hope to see his name in there. Please feel free to take a look when the section goes live. There are some great people going into it, some working still , some sadly no longer with us. I will also plug this wonderful book on my website. I will sort a link to this blog this evening to direct people here. Good Luck with the book...I am sure that it will be as great as all the others I have purchased off you. Thanks again. Warmest Regards, Tim Perkins. Hi Mr. Tomorrow,

I've emailed you yesterday about, at this time, have you received it? For me AE is my cup of tea, especially when it comes to Fawcett, obscure and forgotten heroes and publishers (like Nedor, Standard..); I know you’ve got plenty of other ways to take our hard-earned money and I'm taking advantage of it, also with your books, can't wait to get "Comics gone ape"! Bye! Luigi Hi Boss :)
