quote [ "Heck is one of the most interesting and soul-plumbing graphic novels of 2013... an emotional roller-coaster. It leaves the reader with the distinct impression of having been on our own harrowing journey into the darkest aspects of ourselves, into the things we hardly dare admit." -- Bleeding Cool ]

quote [ True Detective was a useful shorthand, as was Outland: Outland for the lo-fi reality we were trying to achieve, True Detective for the sense of dropping right in without heavy exposition and just unfolding as we went, through tight, uncompromised character and dialogue. Our idea was to try and make the setting ?real? (despite its obvious SF unreality) and then thread in a disturbing sense of something other. ]

quote [ For vast stretches of À la recherche du temps perdu, there is scarcely a page unadorned by vibrant colour. To commemorate the centenary of Marcel Proust?s death, Christopher Prendergast celebrates his use of pink, how its tone shifts from innocence to themes of sexual need, before finally fading out to grey at the novel?s close. ]

quote [ ?Your wolves have more wit than your maester,? the wildling woman said. ?They know truths the grey man has forgotten.? The way she said it made him shiver, and when he asked what the comet meant, she answered, ?Blood and fire, boy, and nothing sweet.? ]

quote [ ku?! (speak koosh!) is a comic art publisher from Latvia founded in Riga in 2007. It is most well known for its signature pocket-sized anthologies and its mini-ku?! series, both made by skilled Latvian and international artists, each issue centering around a certain theme. The aims of ku?! are to popularize comics in a country where this medium is practically non-existent and to promote Latvian comics abroad. ]

quote [ The smiley face has been co-opted by ravers, artists and fashion for decades. So how does the company that owns it keep it relevant? ]

quote [ Somewhere, beyond the Milky Way, in the vast reaches of Cyberspace, there is an enchanted kingdom, called, "The Land of Lost Toys.? This distant corner of oblivion has become the final resting place of a lifetime?s worth of well-intentioned toy inventions that either never happened, or happened momentarily, then, quickly went away. For every known toy I created, there was a multitude of others that never saw the light of day. Most of these concepts never became contenders, nor progressed very far. Others came close to being winners, but, in the end, got no cigar!? ]

quote [ Greg Rutkowski is a more popular prompt than Picasso. ]
