Comic Book Pick
This is a new relaese, out this week, but one that should not be missed. The cover alone should give you some idea about what is inside. If you have never heard of Brian Bolland, this would be a great introduction.
Briand Bollan’s Website : http://www.brianbolland.net/
He known for his meticulous, detailed linework and eye-catching compositions. Best known in the UK as one of the definitive Judge Dredd artists for British comics anthology 2000 AD, he spearheaded the ‘British Invasion’ of the American comics industry, and in 1982 produced the artwork on Camelot 3000 (with author Mike W. Barr), which was DC’s first 12-issue comicbook maxiseries created for the direct market.
His rare forays into interior art also include Batman: The Killing Joke, with UK-based writer Alan Moore, regularly hailed as one of the finest realised Batman stories, and a self-penned Batman: Black and White story. Bolland remains in high demand a cover artist, producing the vast majority of his work for DC Comics.
This is not your typical tween comic book. this is basically for mature sense of humor. Brian Bolland’s humorous, yet provocative and slightly potentially offensive (for the politically correct-minded) tales of a Bishop and his actress mistress.
