BURNE HOGARTH. MORPHOS THE SHAPECHANGER GRAPHIC NOVEL!
RARE and OUT OF PRINT.
Filled with lavish full color illustrations by the undisputed master artist!
Burne Hogarth was an American cartoonist, illustrator, educator, author, and theoretician.
For many decades, he has continued to be an influential teacher and visual artist throughout the world best known for his pioneering work on the Tarzan newspaper strip and his much-referenced series of DYNAMIC ANATOMY books.
How many of the students who have used his Dynamic Anatomy books have actually seen his actual illustration work?
Now is your chance to see his dynamic style applied to his final work in this incredibly lavish Graphic Novel! Hogarth’s work such as this, exert a pervasive and ongoing influence within the global arts community and among delighted readers everywhere.
Step back 60 years ago to a time when comics -- a new medium born in excitement, innocence, and great aspiration -- were capturing the attention of readers everywhere. This is the time in which Burne Hogarth came and changed the face of sequential storytelling with his all-time-classic strips "Tarzan" and "Prince Valiant." Over the last several years, Hogarth and his collaborator, screenwriter Harry Hurwitz, had been working on a new comics series, one which would do for the comics of the 1990s what his earlier work had done for those of the 1930s and 1940s. The result is Morphos the Shapechanger. Hogarth and Hurwitz had created the first installment which will, sadly, never be completed due to their untimely deaths. Dark Horse is proud to present the first complete, full-color chapter in its entirety, packaged in deluxe format with the finished script of the subsequent issues. The text is profusely illustrated with both preliminary and finished artwork by Hogarth. This is a story of hope that ends with a promise for a better tomorrow, and we only wish we could see what that complete vision would have been.
PUBLISHED POSTHUMOUSLY IN 1996 BY DARK HORSE COMICS.
