Er ist der Größte, der Beste, der Eleganteste, der Feinste, der Innovativste, der Schönste von allen: Der großartige Zeichner Jean Giraud alias Moebius, das Genie, ist Samstag im Alter von 73 Jahren gestorben. Sein Rang und seine Qualität sind gar nicht hoch genug einzuschätzen, anderen Granden wie Daumier, Goya, Lautrec, Janssen oder Busch steht er in nichts nach.

Captain Americas Dad died
Monday, December 19th, 2011
Comic artist and author Joe Simon has died on Dec 14th 2011 at the age of 98. Together with Jack Kirby he was one of the most important creators in the golden age of comics. They invented lots of characters, the spangled hero being the most important. He was the ultimate opponent against Germanys dictator and the ultimative national symbol. If you compare their original costume design with later concepts you can see how strong Joes and Jacks idea was: none of the later reached their impact. Simon was even more succesful with a famous series called Young Romance. These and lot of other facts are written in an interesting article at the Guardian.
Thank you for being here, Joe Simon, and donating us with your ideas and creative ness. >via plus his > autobiography
And here is a very interesting interview with Joe. (If you click on further you will find a video with fans giving him a brithday song on his 98th – that´s why it is worth working on things people love and appreciate!)

Why nerds love superheroes
Monday, September 26th, 2011
Warum Nerds so auf Superhelden stehen? Weil das beginnende 21. Jahrhundert nur aus Krisen aufeinander folgend besteht. Und weil der Supermensch in einer postheroischen Welt ein Fremdkörper geworden ist – außerweltlich oder sonstwie überoptimiert aber in Maschinen- und digitalen Welten recht nutzlos. Darin sei er nicht ganz unähnlich seinem kleinen Fan und dessen Facebook- und sonstigen Parallelidentitäten, … sagt jedenfalls die SZ. Für eine einsame Sonntagnacht ist diese Abhandlung anhand des letzten Captain America Movies durchaus reviewing-wert. Tipp: Danach im Spiegel betrachten und die eigene Existenz passieren lassen.

Schulz, Barry Windsor-Smith and many others. But the best about Corn Stone is his unmastered expertise about every artist, their methods and styles, the backgrounds and special circumstances.
