Why Mignola is a genius

[viktor_haag]

For years, MIgnola has been my favourite illustrator in the comics arena, more even than Hergé (for years the reigning champion) and Guy Davis. His command of composition and his energy can be a bit sledge-hammery, but it accords so well with my tastes that I rarely see a piece that I don't like.

A recent tilt of his at providing a splash, re-imagined cover for a significant DC Comics anniversary¹ is a wonderful example of his excellence.

He still can't draw feet, but, really, who notices?
