GM! Today hella busy but trying to do this daily so playing an ez and quick one: Mike motherfucking Mignola.

Remember what i said for King Kirby about inspiring the media and the new generations? well Mignola is basically the model post the 90's for a LOT of american book and authors and his influence touch pretty much everywhere. his main character, creator owned, is Hellboy, of which u prob have seen a movie or two.

What's mind blowing with mike is the blocky, square synthesis that was absolutely unseen before, the compositions that are just incredible, and the balancing of black and white that he does... he might be the best ever in comics at that (despite many could fit that place). added the dracula piece cause i think it's very explicative despite it's somehow juvenile work.

As usual, two images are vaguely not near enough, but here you go. smol flex: just like with Toppi, i happen to own a physical piece by him, some unpublished study coming from Fafhrd and the grey mouser.
Enjoy!

and since it's just too good, imma cheat and add another 2 that show how much force he can put in a single, centimeter-sized sketch. think thousands of people have this frog and that skull tatooed, i'm not into tats but if i was i'd get the goddamn frog for sure
