Dude in Distress week: Down and Out in Heaven and Hell (The Invisibles!)

[greenmask]

I feel sure I've flailed about praising the Invisibles here before, but as it turns out we only have two tagged entries in the archives - and one of those is pictureless at this point. Travesty!

Let's remedy that a bit! Here are five pages from the first volume, say you want a revolution. One of my favourite series, and one I happily discovered before I knew "who Grant Morrison was". Lucky for me because forming opinions on people who 'matter' can be so stressful, can't it?

So here we have Jack Frost, a.k.a. seventeen (fifteen? I forget) year old Dane McGowan: living on the streets with an old man who is possibly "mad". He is in for some adventures, and they are just starting to begin.

No bondage this time, but a little bit of wtfery. We are now exiting your comfort zone, Dane..









And then things just keep on happening.

Lines by Steve Yeowell, colours etc by Daniel Vozzo and Electric Crayon, Letters by Clem Robing.

Oh, one thing - MOD REQUEST!!! - could you ADD THE "THEME: DUDE IN DISTRESS WEEK" to your already-posted.. posts.. please? And to any new ones you have in mind. We've just had a minor tag clean-up so there's now room for this week.. Thank you!

I've done a little bit of tag clean up to make room for a new tag for the new theme, very short term solution.

Ah, good stuff!

Man, I really need to read this. I love Morrison's work, but outside of We3 I haven't read a lot of his creator-owned stuff.

The "baptism" imagery is a little heavy handed, but Steve Yeowell needs more love as an artist, so I'm good.

I've always said that people who don't like being sucker punched in the back of the head are just big nancies.

This book was a glorious ride. Catch up with it if you can at all.
