Thanks as always for your thoughtful and honest analyses, Chris!

Not my favorite issue (but mostly good), but the whole team (@josephpillidge.bsky.social, @hackintimseeley.bsky.social, etc.) did some great work with Bloodletter. Edgy, strategic, dark, charming, and so much more — it felt of Spawn but something fresh and compelling on its own. Huzzah!

D'ANGELO has passed.
This man's work must be responsible for the births of thousands of people, and you adults know what I mean.

All truth.

I think what Struzan was able to do with his work was elevate the story into being something far greater than the events it depicted. The best of the fantasies that he rendered left a greater impression and experience in the imagination of the audience

A master of art has left the world, one whose talents helped shape a vision of pop culture. portraiture and brand identity for generations.

RIP, Mr. Struzan.

Your sense of composition remains unparelleled.
