by Richard Bruton

Art For Art’s Sake time once more… all the best art from some wonderfully good comics… settle back and feast your eyes on these…

Lucy Sullivan – Barking – a stunning exploration of mental health issues, out in October, described as…

Alix is having a very bad day. Easily her worst so far. A year after they fished her friend’s body from the river, Alix finds herself haunted, chased and driven to the brink by… what? Figments of her addled mind? Certainly. Delusions from too much booze and not enough sleep? Probably. Sectioned and left in the hands of an umbrella health system, Alix is about to find out just how fine a line it is between the sane world and the psychiatric ward at St. Judes.

It’s got this sort of incredible kinetic Sienkiewicz-ish style art all the way through…

Well that was a surprise for Tom Holland, as Spider-Man joins the Universal Dark Universe by Nick Perks (Via Browse The Stacks)

Paul Smith and the original, un-inked layouts for Doctor Strange #66, The Chosen One. As he says… “Eagle eyed readers of the day will notice something a little bit off: Doc’s flying in the opposite direction than in the book! While it’s not a law, generally speaking, action goes in the same direction as language, which for English speakers is left-to-right. I asked production to flop the panel to keep the story moving “forward”.”
