Raoul Middleman: City Limits
Comic books were like an extension of Renaissance and Greek art. You have the heroes, you have the Tintoretto space to make the format more interesting, to shake it out of a linear dullness, you look up at something, you look down on another scene: all these gods and goddesses that circulate among the clouds that occasionally come down to earth to cause all kinds of panic among us mortals. Comic books could be seen as the dying gasp of Renaissance morphology. |
