CHECK IT :: Josiah Leighton on Jeff Smith and BONE
If you're not particularly interested in comics and especially the formal elements behind what makes comics work, you'll probably be bored by this awesome essay. I wasn't though. Jeff Smith is pretty amazing at what he does, and it was nice to see why. Also "Josiah" is about as cool as it gets as far as first names go, although I personally think that "Optimus" is pretty good too.
I think I found this through either Tom Spurgeon or Sean Collins, but I can't remember, so I'll just link to them both. No wait, it was actually Journalista, now that I think about it. If only there were some way I could "undo" those links--maybe soon technology will find a way.
