This is comic book work at it's best. J. Scott Campbell is a master of anatomy (and not just the girls..), perspective, mechanical illustration, and over all sequential art. I myself am an aspiring comic book artist, and the the art just left me a gasp. I also found the sketch book just as inspirational, if not more so. But this is not just a title for wanna be's (like myself) or comic art nuts (again, like myself), but also for serious collectors of the medium, as each book of the collected Danger Girl series is number and signed.
The story has alot of humour, and action that would leave many movie scripts for dust. The story itself may draw criticism for being similar to Indiana Jones's first movie, but Campbell admits to being a huge fan of the film, so it's not surprising it has influenced him so obviously. The characters are well 'developed', shall we say, and unique.
Over all, I truley am overwhelmed, mostly by the art. I recommend any comic book collector, and especially J. Scott Campbell fans, to add this to their library's asap!! |
