INTRO

Having recently lost my beloved cat Katya, I will be dealing with somehow find a way to no longer live in darkness. So, overall I am going to aim at writing about basics and important works in whatever medium I view. 

I will be attending Quantum Con in 10 or so days. Please check it out!

Anyone reading comics for decades has no doubt become aware of the power of a great comic book. Some artists were/are used almost exclusively for the power in their lines, moods, and ability to get people to buy the comic, even if they usually would not have chosen to do so. The six images of three different artists, each, are not the only artists. They are not meant to represent anything more than my opinion, and my preference. In fact I might have forgotten some.

I won't describe why I like each artists, but I would recommend clicking on each image to create a larger image to view.
