That foreshortened hand which grabs the reader's attention and draws him into the picture is pure comics, albeit a direct lineal descendant of Alfred Leete's iconic WW1 recruitment poster of Lord Kitchener. In this particular form I most associate it with Jack Kirby, though it would be interesting to trace it back to the very first instance of its use - possibly Burne Hogarth's Tarzan? Of course another outstanding artist who developed his own unique take on the pointing hand motif is Frank Bellamy, whose dynamic drawings of El Raschid pronouncing the judgement of Allah on Heros the Spartan could make the centre pages of Eagle look like one of those 3D foldouts!Phil Rushtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11115717268103349676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816075755902555378.post-31697314449562678702011-03-31T10:20:52.999+01:002011-03-31T10:20:52.999+01:00Una ilustraciĆ³n perfecta, te felicitoUna ilustraciĆ³n perfecta, te felicitoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816075755902555378.post-15680341534384436372011-03-30T21:41:01.051+01:002011-03-30T21:41:01.051+01:00Many thanks for the kind words Jon and I'll de...Many thanks for the kind words Jon and I'll definitely check out The Spirit of Hope comic that you've flagged up.<br /><br />Hope the move went well and you are settling comfortably into the land of lava bread.Peter Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15566601617123798061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816075755902555378.post-9274304751945602192011-03-30T21:15:56.410+01:002011-03-30T21:15:56.410+01:00great to see your art again Peter, i must learn up...great to see your art again Peter, i must learn up on manga studio , fab blog as usual.<br />by the way i hope your doing a piece for the spirit of hope comic by the CBA edited by alan cowsill,your style would be perfect.<br />best<br />jonjon hawardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692077738228873453noreply@blogger.com
