The frog-man cited by JMR777 and the guy who shows the snakes in his brain are from Albrecht Durer and all those medioeval little monsters... maybe.J_D_La_Rue_67https://www.blogger.com/profile/13620923188907903146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-58305270676515236652015-06-07T19:02:06.308-05:002015-06-07T19:02:06.308-05:00A good story with good pacing and wonderful Camero...A good story with good pacing and wonderful Cameron art. As others have said, it really has that 60s Ditko Dr. Strange vibe to it (but toned way down, Ditko was the master of that kind of art and few could reach that level.)<br /><br />A bit wordy, though, and the revenge reveal, eh, didn't alter the story at all.<br /><br />I love the crazy splash, it's not related in any way to the story; the snake hands, the bird hair, the well placed crystals (Cameron had to have fun getting away with that!) and the puzzle border, that's a real work of art and better than what you'd normally see in splashes where people would just add as many crazy monster faces as they could. It could easily stand on it's own, with just a little better coloring.Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-48713562328316839532015-06-07T11:09:31.261-05:002015-06-07T11:09:31.261-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mestierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469030153414408109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-85706937290904477422015-06-06T19:07:40.361-05:002015-06-06T19:07:40.361-05:00A really great story, really great artwork, really...A really great story, really great artwork, really great nightmare beasties on page six, especially the frogman with a green hand pointing at Rarlo and the red man lifting his lid in a polite gesture revealing the snake pit that is his mind.<br /><br />I wonder if the last panel on page 6 was an ancestor of The Rolling Stones logo.JMR777https://www.blogger.com/profile/03538238702295526065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-24291927565485309242015-06-06T19:07:24.403-05:002015-06-06T19:07:24.403-05:00A really great story, really great artwork, really...A really great story, really great artwork, really great nightmare beasties on page six, especially the frogman with a green hand pointing at Rarlo and the red man lifting his lid in a polite gesture revealing the snake pit that is his mind.<br /><br />I wonder if the last panel on page 6 was an ancestor of The Rolling Stones logo.JMR777https://www.blogger.com/profile/03538238702295526065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-61689794460367106812015-06-06T16:21:16.956-05:002015-06-06T16:21:16.956-05:00Yeah, man!

I wish the coloring had been as wild as the line art, but there's nothing what with what we have here, either.Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-6474984376699922722015-06-06T12:35:09.207-05:002015-06-06T12:35:09.207-05:00"Victor Rarlo" is a strange name indeed..."Victor Rarlo" is a strange name indeed.
