Art For Art’s Sake #253: Black Widow, Matt Kindt Style
by Richard Bruton
Everything is webs and tangles, everything is hidden angles — time to unwind and untangle with Art For Art’s Sake, putting the art in front of you every week…
This week we finish off with a couple of gems, some brilliant Marvel comedy art from Jon Bogdanove and then Matt Kindt doing his very individualistic version of Black Widow. But first, let’s begin with something fabulous, as aways, from Roberta Gregory…
“Here’s a cute little project that’s been knocking around (with zillions of others) inside my brain for maybe 20 years or so. Thanks to the Minicomic DUNE get-together, I finally cranked out these two pages.”
John K Snyder – ’60s WW
Jorge Moliterni from DC Special Series #16 (via David Roach)
Patrick Goddard – ‘Rogue’s buddies…’
Paul Smith – The Avengers
Walter Simonson – Dr. Fate. Danger Street #9 = a variant cover for DC.
Bret Blevins –
Mike Perkins – Swamp Thing and Batman
John McCrea – variant cover for Wonder Woman- Knight Terrors #2
Marguerite Sauvage – X-Men from Marvel Age #1000
Ken Reid’s WorldWide Weirdies... brilliance…
Kevin Nowlan Hulk
Mike Mignola –
Kyle Baker – Action Comics – Blackhawk
Darwyn Cooke –
Jamie Hernandez – perhaps the finest Love & Rockets cover there’s ever been…
And a Jaime Radiohead piece…
Alex Toth – of course – Black Canary from Adventure Comics #418
What The #1 -August 1988 – ‘When Titans Bunch!’ – script by Peter B. Gillis, pencils and inks by Jon Bogdanove & Al Milgrom… brilliantly funny, great cartooning…
And finally, this little gem by Matt Kindt – the Black Widow strip from Marvel Max’s Strange Tales, Oct 2009.
‘I specifically requested Black Widow because of the spy aspect and I liked that she was this normal human in a super hero world. She’s a little more grounded and a little more remarkable because of that.’
