Hi Telemachus, Cicero, Wolfpek and Herodotus
I just wanted to send a huge thank you to you for all of your work. I have only just discovered your site and blog and have spent many hours of entertainment here.
Your stories and pictures are fantastic.
-"Traffic Cop" - You hardly needed the words. (bg) Your 3-D images convey the story on an amazing level. I love graphic novels and your images are amazing.
-"Out of Gas" - Wonderful theme in this one as the youth goes from victim to avenger. Again, loved the 3-D images.
Cicero
- "Bra-Ian & the Ancient Krill"... wonderful. You truly communicate how the sense of power changes and the final section where Bra-Ian takes his place with the dogs rounds the story off perfectly.
- "The Conquest of Zantar". Man, I felt so sorry for the young prince. (g) You really put him through the wringer. You used the idea of flashback really well...and the idea of the dream premonition... loved it. Again, you used the sense of power very effectively. The ending... I was physically cringing. His fall from grace was complete. Amazing story.
- Aquaman Vs the The Black Manta... hey, I was cheering for the Black Manta. (bg) Aquaman's arrogance leapt off the page and I'm looking forward to seeing him well and truly taught a lesson.
Wolfpek
- "Tarzan and the Snare of the Witchdoctor" - Wow! Talk about riding the journey with the character. This was clever writing.
- "Vampyr Hunter" - You show us the young bold warrior who it cut down so evilly... can I say I loooovvved it. The longing of the vampire was really well written... and the idea of him enjoying the sensation of carrying his victim.... oh, yeah! This one definitely needs a sequel (wink).
Herodotus
I honestly don't know where to start. Your pictures are absolutely incredible. I have no idea how you create them but they draw the viewer in and at the same time, leap off the page with realism. I feel at a loss for words to describe my admiration and how much I love them.
- "The Falcon's Fall," First - great title for ‘fall’ is exactly what happened. His capture - yes I did notice where the ray guns hit him. (bg)
- "PenisMan vs The Slaver". My very favourite genre includes superheros like this. The second image (initial capture), 7th (splayed on the gargoyle) and 8th (impaled for the flight home <g>) are my favourites. The expressions are amazing. I feel silly saying the same things but I'm honestly at a loss for adjectives to describe your art.
- Pictures:
(a) "Captain Invincible and the Planet of Doom" - 5th image... of the hero slung over the shoulder. Amazing. All of them are, but that one is my favourite.
(b) "Aqua Man Vs Black Manta" - 2 and 3 are so graphic. I can't wait to see more based on Cicero's story.
(c) "Bra- Ian". I can't believe how you were able to take Cicero's terrific story and bring it to life in images. So masculine and the dominance so clear.
(d) Captive Hero - Where is the story to go with this one? (g) I find this with many of your pics. They are so incredible I find myself wanting to know more about what his happening and why.
(e) Dangel Series - More. I really would love to see more of these. Each one seems to be part of a larger story. My favourite two are the one with the billboard in the background and the one where Dangle is being zapped by Toxic stinger in the guise of someone else.
(f) Delivery - I really hope Wolfpek did something with that one. (bg)
(g) "Harvested Hero"...I love this image. It is so intricate. The expressions on the characters faces again are so perfect. I'd love to see more of this story.
(h) Morpheus - How do you get the terror in his eyes? Wonderful again... again, I'd love to see more of this one.
(i) Superman - all of these are incredible. As I said, I love the superhero ones as I have been reading DC comics for more years than I care to count. These really struck a chord with me.
(j) Tarzan series. Absolutely brilliant. I realize you had a great story to work with (way to go, Wolfpek) but what you did with those images. Your pen or computer... or whatever it is you use to create these.... should be registered as a lethal weapon. (g) I keep coming back to view these. My favourite is the one of Tarzan sprawled on the cage totally out of it. (bg)
(k) "The Spoils". The poor kid really lost the battle... or is he enjoying his loss? (bg) Amazing picture.
(l) "Vampyr" The one of the hunter kneeling and the vampire behind him is so sensual. The one of him hung over his shoulder really captures the feeling that Wolfpek conveyed about the power of carrying the victim in this way.
(m) Zantar Series - Wow. Wow. Wow. Again, you have taken a great story (thank you, Cicero) and enhanced it. My favourite of this series is the one of the boy prince finally on the throne.
There is so much more I'd like to say, but I really don't want to embarrass myself. Let me finish with...
Telemachus - thank you, not only for your stories and great graphics, but for taking the time to share them and the work of others. I know that maintaining a page is time-consuming and costly. I want you to know it is greatly appreciated.
Cicero - I can't wait for the next instalment of Aquaman
Wolfpek - Thank you for your amazing stories.
Herodotus - There simply aren't enough adjectives for me to describe how incredible, brilliant, amazing, mind-blowing, tremendous, phenomenal, remarkable, marvellous... and I'll stop now. Thank you.
Take care
