"...The trick in to never mistake the message for the messenger"
Scott McCloud, understanding comics pg6

In the mid 90's I bought that page from Scott McCloud at a Chicago Wizard con, and it's been hanging in my studio along with page 211 for most of the last few years. Those two pages out of all the many in his book Understanding Comics had the biggest effect on me when i first read them, and played a major roll in many of my ensuing decisions as a creator. It's in the spirit of those that i present RevolveЯ One
