Thank you! It’s kinda nerve-wracking because it’s a job with a lot more responsibility and room for error than anything I’ve done in the past, but hopefully things will go ok. (*´・ｖ・)

the3rdstring:

Here’s my pal, Arnold, showing off my copy of Suehiro Maruo’s ‘The strange tale of Panorama Island’ which arrived yesterday. I planned to take my time over reading it but, as soon as I opened it, I couldn’t help but devour the entire thing in the space of two sittings throughout the day.

Despite having an original Japanese copy, which I have looked through dozens of times, and already being fairly well versed with the Edogawa Rampo short story that it adapts I was still not prepared for exactly how great this book would be. Rampo’s story is gloriously far-fetched and pulpy which makes for an enjoyable few hours but what really elevates the book is Maruo’s stunning illustrations. He effortlessly brings to life the lavish settings and the expressiveness of the characters expose their inner thoughts, making them feel believable despite the unrealistic surroundings they inhabit. Maruo’s artwork has always been in the top-tier of comic art but he seems to have reached even higher levels with this work. You could lose hours, days, weeks, immersing yourself in his rich illustrations of wild excesses.

Last Gasp have surpassed themselves with the production, releasing the book in a hard back edition with a larger size than the original Japanese release. The printing really pops off the page and the larger size allows you to study Maruo’s dazzling compositions easily.

Everything down to the feel and smell of the paper and the richly decadent dark purple of the endpapers elevate and complement the content of the book. Last Gasp’s edition of ‘The strange tale of Panorama Island’ is a fitting testament to Edogawa Rampo’s erotic grotesque detective fiction. Decadent, glorious and richly vivid.

I’ve adored Suehiro Maruo since I first became aware of his work and have been impatiently awaiting the release of this book since it was first announced in 2010 (I think?). Although the wait was slightly frustrating it was definitely worth it for the finished product that Last Gasp have delivered. I guess my impression of the book was always going to veer towards unashamed adoration BUT, the point I really want to stress is that, when I got a hold of the book and was able to take it all in, it surpassed all my expectations and that is something that I thought would be impossible.

「諌山創」Isayama Hajime ≫ Shingeki no Kyojin

↪ ”…I thought, ‘I’ll make something that remains in people’s memories!’”

I can’t lie. I’m a fan of Isayama’s work. While the anatomical accuracy and economy of line may not quite be there yet, he’s displaying something a lot of artists boil out of their work—raw ambition. I caught up on 40 Chapters, each with about 40 pages in them and you can virtually feel the thought process and rough decisions made as the story progresses and improves.

I wanted to write him off for drawing suspect, but I’d just be complaining about a man who’s already selling copies of his work worldwide while I’m just being a hater.

Bottom line, he’s making comics. And that’s a much larger feat than we realize.

The reason TWC hasn’t been updating lately is because I was drawing another short comic! I think I’ve decided not to upload it anywhere in the end because it’s pretty bad, but I was pretty happy with the way the hands turned out in these panels. :>

It was good practice drawing another comic! It was way harder than I thought it would be, and made me realize that drawing just TWC has me in kind of a comfort zone.
