Iconography will be my magnum opus. This was my first go at it, in 2003. I'm revising the script and I'll have to redraw pretty much everything.
If Invisible, Inc. is the secret history of comics, Iconography will be the official book.
Sorry for the quality. I didn't know anything about scanning in 2003.
Comics speak to me.
You'll find me more writer than artist, but I had to draw Iconography myself. Had to letter it, had to color it, even had to ink it and further defile whatever art lay in the pencils. This is my love letter to comics, and I have to watch it rise or fall by my lonesome. It's the history of the medium in America, from Platinum to present, and maybe even earlier than that, since my hero, Ben Franklin, drew America's first political cartoon. Literally every character is someone, and most are somemany.
I hope in the process I can incorporate the skills and methods of greater creators than I'll ever be: Eisner, Kirby, Steranko, Crumb, Ross, Miller, Millar, Morrison, Moore, Ellis and a thousand others, including my personal art hero, Winsor McCay. Ultimately, I hope I can innovate a little of my own before I finish.
