WHISPERS #3

(W/A) Joshua Luna

Sam has looked into the face of pure evil, and he heard it speak. The problem is - the voice won't go away. Desperate to rid his mind of it, Sam devises a morally questionable plan. He may save his sanity, but will he lose his soul in the process?

I love this comic. My only problem with it is that it takes so long to come out. Someone should tell Mr. Luna that cliffhangers only work if people can remember what the hell happened previously. Other than that it is well written, conceived, paced, drawn, and it's also kinda spooky. recommended by erin.

MORT MESKIN: OUT OF THE SHADOWS TP

(W/A) Mort Meskin

Out of the Shadows collects the very best of legendary Golden Age comics artist Mort Meskin's stories from the '30s, '40s, and '50s and features work in every genre Meskin worked in: super-hero, adventure, kid gangs, romance, crime, westerns, science fiction, and horror. Meskin set a new a high bar for comics in the first three decades of the medium, and this book will be a revelation to both the casual graphic novel reader and the ardent fan.

Until about five months ago, I had never even heard the name Mort Meskin. Then I started going through our art books section and decided to pop open a copy of "From Shadow to Light", a Meskin art book put out by Fantagraphics in 2010, and all I could think was "How in the hell did I miss this guy?" Granted, I'm not as up on my golden age comic knowledge as I should be, but damn! how in the hell did I miss this guy? recommended by erin.
