Wow! Can't read a word of Japanese but I just love the look of all those Japanese hieroglyphics scrolling so eleganttly down the pages.
Looking at the first two pages on today's post makes me think how infinitely better a lot of this work looks on a computer screen. I didn't think the DFC repro was too bad but seeing these pages,there's a lot of subtle nuances that just got subsumed in printer's ink.
Be that as it may once again really fabulous work guys.
Thanks, Peter! I was getting a really close look at the individual panels while mirror-flipping them for this version, and each one really is a mini-masterpiece.
Leo and I mocked up a copy of Book One recently on Lulu.com, which is pretty good quality repro (much better than most trade paperbacks) but still only about nine-tenths of the way there. It truly is on screen that you can see the art at its absolute best.
The dawn of a new century. A green comet appears in the sky, heralding a miraculous year when imagination and reality merge. Nothing will ever be the same again - especially not for Jack Ember, reluctant hero, and Estelle Meadowvane, aristocratic astronomy genius, whose adventures for the Royal Mythological Society take them to the furthest corners of a world transformed by wizardry and wild romance.
Dave Morris, Leo Hartas and Martin McKenna, creators of Mirabilis, invite you on an epic journey totalling more than 800 comic book pages, a fantasy saga in four seasons for readers of all ages. The first season, Winter, isnow available on iPadand in trade paperback on Amazon.
