RevolveR
By Salgood Sam
Revolver is like a graphic novel journal featuring various projects and pieces by extraordinary artist Salgood Sam aka Max Douglas. This first volume contains excerpts of projects like Pin City and The Rise And Fall Of It All alongside other shorts, poems and sketches.
Sam is without a doubt one of the most talented artists in the field today. Whenever you come across a piece by Sam you're sure to feast on a visual treat, a true work of pure art. One of the details about Sam's work that stands out [aside from his strong eye for detail itself that is] is his strong sense of layout. Many people tend to accept comics storytelling as being panels and gutters but a curve here and a broken barrier there creates an eccentric fluidity that allows the story to flow, and not only is it natural but just absolutely lovely to look at. There's a palpable sense of effort and thought engrained into each smudge of lead and stroke of ink.
Sam experiments in a multitude of mediums and stylistic choices that I am continuously amazed by his ability and can only look forward to more of his work.
Will Eisner was in Toronto last year and he said to Sam "It's [creators] like you who'll keep this business going" and I can only hope we'll see more creators like Max Douglas aka Salgood Sam.
