Via Top Shelf 2.0 webmeister Leigh Walton I discovered this rave review of me and Matt Wiegle’s “Destructor in: Prison Break” from The Crooked Man at Rare Maiden:
It’s got everything you could ever want in an adventure comic: a forbidding prison island, robots, a cast of monsters, dragons, a huge fight, a heart-felt ending, a diagram… It’s that impossible-to-ever-actually-create strip that you always wanted to draw when you were a kid. But it works, and all in only 12 pages.
He’s got a lot more to say about the strip, including an appreciation of its lack of context that really makes me feel good about doing the strip that way, and an evocation of both Moebius and the Cocteau Twins, which I can always get behind. If you like, you can read the review, read the comic, and buy the collection.
A testimonial:
My copy of Murder came in the mail on Friday and I’m already seeing positive results. The top notch art and evocative writing have made my days more meaningful. Plus, I think Murder is growing my hair back and helping me lose some of those stubborn pounds. It would be a steal at twice the price. Thank you Sean, for making me laugh about alligator people again.
