Good job, my friend! You are a gentleman and a scholar.

Graduation day; what a day. When everything you have worked so hard on, comes into a climax full of tradition, honors and fanfare. Every sweat and every tear, every late night and every worry are completely forgotten just to give way to exuberant celebration. What tomorrow will bring is a big unknown. But no one really cares because what matters is just the now. It is time to paint the town red and time to drink a toast or two to the future. Destiny is a big door ready to be openned. Expectations and dreams are ready to be shaped into full reality. Today is only the first day of the rest of your life.

By 1992, Erik Larsen had already paid his dues. Working for different publishers before arriving to Marvel. Pencilling David Michelinie's Spider-Man work. Following on the footsteps of highly regarded Todd McFarlane. And although work was great, it seemed as if the young artist was destined to be just another fill-in act like many talented people that came before him. But at a crucial moment in his life, destiny came knocking at his door. A rare gift at the house of ideas that would become his ticket to the major leagues. A chance to not only showcase his drawing skills, but his writing skills as well. He did not only took the opportunity, he embraced it and hit the ground running, creating some of the most wacky but beautiful art for the Spider-Man book in the early 90's. A treat to the eyes even after so many years.

"Revenge of the Sinister Six" may seem lackluster story wise and art wise by today's standards. But for a young generation in those days, it was a fresh infusion of vitality to a classic superhero story. It was a defining moment in Larsen's career and the begining of his signature art style that would continue on in the pages of "The Savage Dragon" onto this day. A great accomplishment for one of 90's best. An explosion of action and color you cannot miss.

In the late 70's, Frank Miller was a young artist struggling to make ends meet. With small projects under his belt and almost without support, he landed at Marvel and slowly made his way through the ranks. In those days, the house of ideas was a tough place to be. Long hours, low pay and excruciating deadlines were everyone's daily bread. Regardless of, the young man was determined to make a name for himself.

After some meager jobs, he requested for the opportunity to draw Daredevil. At that point, the book had poor sales and was at the brink of cancellation. Needless to say, his request was granted and Frank took the opportunity and made it his own. Eventually, aided by Dennis O'neal, he was not only the artist but the writer of the book, creating the most defining and memorable moments in Daredevil's history. Then, with Klaus Janson by his side as the regular penciler, Frank did not only change the outcome of the book, he change the course of comics forever.

Frank Miller's talent is undisputed. Even to those that are not crazy about his most recent work. He is a great storyteller that knows how to captivate with his peculiar and expressionistic art. To know the man and to understand his work, you have to see his beginnings. Here is the first chapter, and it is a heck of ride. One that cannot be missed. I assure you.
