![]() ![]() With some exceptions where Miller tries something different, there are far too many backgroundless panels featuring close-ups on faces that fill up the frame in random ways. ![]() The detail on the close-ups feels over-rendered, while the wider angles feel sparse. ![]() Rubinstein's inks attempt to add some detail and texture to the art, but it doesn't look consistent enough to be comfortable. Backgrounds barely exist, giving the art too light a look. Silhouettes feel more like shortcuts than anchoring areas of solid black. Characters often look stiff and inconsistent. With "Wolverine," though, the pure art doesn't do much for me. "Ronin" and "Dark Knight Returns" are clever variations on what would be his "core" style. The second point, though, was cause for more reflection.įrank Miller is a great storyteller, but I don't like his art until it gets super-stylized. ![]() Forgive me my late realization on that one. I just never thought about it and put two and two together. He wants to tell the whole story from the script to the final art. Miller sees himself more in the cartoonist mode a la Will Eisner, so the first bullet point isn't surprising. Miller has written things for other artists (notably David Mazzucchelli, Geoff Darrow and Dave Gibbons), but he's always drawn from his own scripts otherwise.Ģ) It is his most generic art, with stylistic embellishments coming from his inker, Josef Rubinstein. 1) It's the only major work of his that he didn't write. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s a wonderful love story with a sci:fi twist.

Ostensibly stories for children, they are deeper and wiser than many adult novels. And with water, and boats, and dragons, “thin-winged and spiny-backed”. There are more Earthsea novels and more adventures, including The Tombs of Atuan, The Farthest Shore, and Tehanu, all filled with Le Guin’s particular form of magic, which involves giving things their true names. (Sounds familiar? Le Guin told the Guardian that JK Rowling “could have been more generous” in acknowledging the 1968 novel.) While there, his pride tempts him into the summoning of a “shadow”, a beast that he will try to escape for the rest of the novel, and which thing of darkness he will only overcome by acknowledging as his own. ![]() Ged is whisked away by a great mage, Ogion, and studies at a school for wizardry. One of her earliest works, this novel is set in the world of Earthsea, an archipelago of islands, and follows the coming of age of the young wizard, Ged, from the island of Gont. “From the towns in its high valleys and the ports on its dark narrow bays many a Gontishman has gone forth to serve the Lords of the Archipelago in their cities as wizard or mage, or, looking for adventure, to wander working magic from isle to isle of all Earthsea,” begins Ursula K Le Guin, in her ringingly clear register. ![]() ![]() Rescued from certain death by two traveling monks, he finds refuge at the vast and powerful Abbey of St. ![]() But when his preternatural hearing was discovered-along with its power to expose the sins of the church-young Moses Froben was cast out of his village with only his ears to guide him in a world fraught with danger. Shaped by the bells’ glorious music, as a boy he possessed an extraordinary gift for sound. The celebrated opera singer Lo Svizzero was born in a belfry high in the Swiss Alps where his mother served as the keeper of the loudest and most beautiful bells in the land. With time, I came to understand I would never know the secrets of my birth, for my father was the only one who knew these secrets, and he would take them to his grave. “Please, Nicolai,” he would say after a moment, as though we had made a pact I had forgotten. “Don’t be ridiculous.”īut whenever I myself gained the courage to ask him further of our past, he just looked sadly at me. “Of course he’s not my son!” he would say. Though there was never any doubt that my seed had come from another man, Moses Froben, Lo Svizzero, called me “son.” And I called him “father.” On the rare occasions when someone dared to ask for clarification, he simply laughed as though the questioner were obtuse. ![]() I grew up as the son of a man who could not possibly have been my father. ![]() |
