Great artist, huge imagination, intricate detail (and cross-hatching), but I’m not a fan of how he handled his most-famous character, i.e. Druuna.

Not gonna do any moralizing here, just that I’m here to represent BD, and he’s by definition a long-time BD-master. Next…?

    Yeah, sadly the effect from that kind of discourse permeates internationally, undoing many years of progress. Are you US based? I honestly feel bad for you guys, you are going through very dark times.

      undoing many years of progress.

      Sometimes I naïvely think that much of these problems are USA-centric, but the more I learn, the more I’m saddened by how pervasive anti-progressivism is across the globe, including in Europe.

      Are you US based? I honestly feel bad for you guys, you are going through very dark times.

      Based here, yes, with an international background. But yeah, unless there’s a huge reversal in the coming 2026 midterm elections, the USA is utterly lost to late-stage capitalism and right-wing petty elitism, yes. So far the election looks quite promising from a voter POV, but pretty terrible in terms of the various methods of likely vote-gaming to come.

      Anyway, I feel kind of bad about today’s post, so for tomorrow, I’m working on a review / sampler upon the life of Medea, a fascinating figure from ancient Greece. She’s not been treated very well from the two main lines of traditional mythos, but recently there was a wonderful retelling from her perspective by two Spanish-Frenchwomen creators. Look for that one at 9AM EST tomorrow (roughly 2-3PM Euro time).
