Art For Art’s Sake: celebrating the glory of comics every single week! This week, we’re into the New Year and have a glorious bit of classic Daniel Torres art to end on. But first, get your eyes around these…

I really like that DC keeps coming back to give me more stuff to do. My current schedule only allows for a few pages here and there and covers (I LOVE COVERS) but if publishers want in, shoot an email!

And finally… we shall end with a little extended something from Daniel Torres… a Spanish genius, best known for Rocco Vargas, launched in 1982, and featuring in titles including Triton and Saxxon, his super stylish space opera.

His artistic style has that glorious mix of classic Ligne Claire and something marvellously his own, those fabulously angular figures, the glorious architecture, all art deco wonder and marvels…
