shiverbones Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 great! He is definately a strong artist at JC, his style is at once recognizable. I REALLY need to get the Alter Egos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Continued discussion from Have a Cigar. For Jack, more on Orestes Calpini - It's from AE 47 which everyone should own for the extensive Matt Baker coverage - Thanks! He has a very recognizable style, doesn't he? The old guy standing on the cannon seems like a character I've seen many times with no idea who drew him. Starry Eyes looks like a huge influence on manga and modern "girlie books", unless Calpini also borrowed the style from another source. Rats -- I have Alter Ego 46 but not 47.
