Another chunk of my daughters' inheritance has been squandered!
Joe Eisma is the artist on Morning Glories. The book is fascinating to me. It's a puzzle sent in a prestigious private academy where the students are all unusual and the faculty is just plain strange.
It's been described by Nick Spencer, the series writer, as "Runaways meets Lost." Runaways was a comic book series featuring young characters who discover that their parents are evil and Lost was a very mysterious TV show with a very non-linear narrative structure. Per the Wikipedia, "the series focuses on six 'brilliant but troubled' new recruits at Morning Glory Academy, a prestigious prep school hiding "sinister and deadly" secrets."
Anyway, Joe has been the series artist for its entire run to date (quite an accomplishment). But that’s just the start, the series is supposed to run about 100 issues and Joe is committed to doing them all.
I enjoy his story telling and have had him add head sketches to each chapter break on my copies of the Deluxe edition books, but I've wanted a commission from him for some time. I decided to pull the trigger this month.
So, for your viewing pleasure, I offer my latest addition featuring the staff and students of MGA discussing a recent disagreement. Sorry Allie, Elizabeth, and Rebecca.
