Today brings Artist August to a close, and what better way to do that than with “Flash Gordon” artist Evan “Doc” Shaner. Long someone that every artist has fawned over for his clean, powerful art with a pitch perfect ability for delivering a story, with his work on “Flash Gordon” we’ve found an artist find a project that has matched his sensibilities in a way that makes everyone realize what many did long ago: that “Doc” Shaner is one of the absolute best artists in comics.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words though, and what’s the point of me telling you what you already know, or something that you’re going to find out soon. “Doc” Shaner ain’t nuthin’ to fuck with, to quote the characters from his work with Nate Cosby, “Buddy Cops”. Find out below in an art feature that shows off some of his very best work, and once you check that out, make sure to pick up “Flash Gordon” to see not just great art, but one of the most fun comics around today. You won’t be sorry.

I went with a pick that I felt was an important artist in the history of comics, and was excited to spotlight their work. However, when I started collecting pieces, I felt nothing. The work, while incredible, didn’t resonate with me […]

    Artist August: Liz Prince [Art Feature]

    By | Aug 29, 2014 | Columns

    Liz Prince’s comics are exactly the type of comics I want to see more of in the world. Her work lies somewhere between the self-reflection of Jeffery Brown and the raucous energy of James Kochalka, examining herself and her surroundings through the lens of a humorist. Her comics are easily digestible while simultaneously impactful and thought provoking, […]

    Artist August: Guy Davis [Art Feature]

    By | Aug 28, 2014 | Columns

    It was thanks to “B.P.R.D.” that I was introduced to Guy Davis’s work. And to be honest, I didn’t immediately appreciate it. If you look at my other selections for Artist August, you’ll see his work very different from my usual kind of stuff, and yet he’s my favorite living comics artist. I vividly remember […]
