Comment on Unlettered Comics Page by Huwman
You certainly know the right things to say to an "oldschool" comics guy like me - thanks! I wasn't sure who you were at first but then I checked your gallery and I remember finding a lot of things to fave in there a while back. Great stuff and right up my alley.
Since you are obviously a fan of the old comics, you might be especially interested in my current journal and the photo collage (link at bottom of journal)
I am watching you back, young fella! (I won't say how old I am but, according to your profile, our combined ages would be 91 which is probably about equal to the combined ages 5 or 6 usual Deviants!)

Well, my gallery is a mishmash of pretentious digital art, some paintings, and comic art done in slavish love for Golden and Silver Age comics. I think this is the best time in my life, for the computer tools are something that I don't take for granted, and they appeal to the teenager who never grew older. I know that I saw your work outside of DeviantArt and I am certain now that I have seen your gallery. My graphic novel is coming along slowly but surely and is intended to pay tribute to B Movies and 50s science fiction comics. I am glad to correspond with other artists because it inspires me to get off my duff and do more. Your art has a great retro feel, and it is the traditional abilities of the older cartoonist that seem to be lost today. They bled india ink! I rarely read new comics but I always have time for old EC and old Marvel and DC and Charlton. If I were to pick my favorites, I would say Williamson, Wood, Davis, Kirby, Ditko, and Robert Crumb. And I did get an autograph and poster from Al Feldstein and I thanked him for his work. Best wishes!
Sounds like we're on the same page - and it's probably one in an old comic! I'm amazed at how many people met Al Williamson, although I never had the pleasure. "Slowly but surely" describes the progress on my comic series/graphic novel too - at least the "slowly" part. And it is also heavily influenced by old B movies, as well as pre-code comics. I'm looking forward to readinging your graphic novel and I'm glad to see a few other people on here that don't do manga!
