Retro Comic Design

61VhapTXdUL._SS500_

Found this book release via The Beat. It will cover "Comic Legends" and the likes. Based off of blog material, it is interesting to see books make their way from web to print. I however and focused more on the design. I love the composition. I love the simple coloring. They all invoke the golden age of comics. The type get a little goofy on the splash, the directions are off a bit, and there seems to some variable characters sizes, but all in all pretty good. I likey. I love the arrow, I just wish the type was more justified then the centered/not centered morph that is occurring now. All in all totally cool jacket design and probably a book I will pick up. Now I just need to get Captain America: White when it comes out and I should have my retro comic fix for the first half of next year.(preview edition number zero below)

About Me

I like to think I am a tough shot to call, a hard nut to crack...a renaissance man, in the parlance of the times. I think men should wear hats, dress nicely, enjoy beautiful things, have a working knowledge of cocktails, appreciate letters for their functional beauty & be handy with cutlery. I am a designer, but I'm not sure what that means either. Let's just say I'll betcha' I can make it better. If you are interested in seeing more work, setting the record straight, or merely wanna say hi, drop me an email.
