Art and comics. Two great things, that often go hand in hand, much to the argument of certain elitist types. ComicBookResources has a press release about Ben Templesmith’s soon to be released “Art of Wormwood”, a collection of artwork from the “Wormwood” comic series.
Templesmith’s visual approach, which has been described as “daring, horrific, and sometimes just plain perverse” has gained a cult following for his work in graphic novels including 30 Days of Night, Fell, Wormwood, Gentleman Corpse and more recently Welcome to Hoxford. He has said he is influenced by the science-fantasy cosmos of H.P. Lovecraft’s Old Ones and the work of H.R. Giger.
