I have this book, which is 2,000 pages of comics, all wordless.
And holy shit, it looks like its value has appreciated. Normally, the comics I buy don't do that!
Willow: Yes. Hi. You must be Angel's handsome, yet androgynous, son. Connor: It's Connor. Willow: And the sneer's genetic. Who knew?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I don't think I've ever seen a graphic novel without words before.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
A guy at my comic book store recommended that.
I've read The Arrival, which was the big wordless comic from a few years ago.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Gon is completely enjoyable and beautifully drawn.
Anybody have any votes for the most beautiful draftsmen in the world of comics today?
Maybe...Jiro Taniguchi?
I think I need to get The Walking Man.
I still think Donna Barr is fantastically talented.
Whose linework rocks your socks?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I will always be a fan of George Perez's ability to fill a page. I also like Barry Windsor Smith's way with the pen.

Check out "Spacegirl" (vol. 1), (vol. 2), by Travis Charest.
It takes him several months to draw a single panel.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Ooh I like that. He reminds me of an artist who used to be in Heavy Metal a lot but I can't recall the name.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Moebius?
Is he still working?

He was as of a few years ago, though I think he's mostly moved into art direction for films.
