PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
RICHARD CORBEN SON OF MUTANT WORLD COMIC BOOK
For fans of RICHARD CORBEN's unique style of extreme Fantasy and Horror. A RARE and VINTAGE Underground Comic Book with lavish full color artwork printed on high quality paper.
Richard Corben returns to MUTANT WORLD!
Featuring lavish artwork as only Corben can create.
Jan Strnad and Richard Corben’s sequel to Mutant World is much what you would expect: one girl and her grizzly bear, a man in a balloon with a bird, a father and son looking for food and a band of mutants out to destroy what little there is left of civilization. It’s good fun, told firmly tongue-in-cheek
There’s an almost photographic feel to Corben’s drawing, which is strangely at odds with the grotesque monsters that populate his strips. The strong coloring and lettering styles play an important role, producing a sexy moodiness in the artwork.
There’s a Bruce Jones backup strip in each issue, which tell EC-style tales from a woman’s perspective. Miscellaneous other Corben material fills out the rest of each issue, some presented for the first time in full color.
RICHARD CORBEN (b. 1940) is one of the best-known fantasy artists in the world. In 1970 he self-published FANTAGOR, a science fiction/horror comic, and later worked on Underground comix such as SLOW DEATH. In the early '70s he drew many stories for the Warren line (CREEPY, EERIE, VAMPIRELLA), and finally came Métal Hurlant, the French magazine released in America as HEAVY METAL, for whom Corben did many memorable stories.
