GLAMOURPUSS #12

The greatest art world discovery since Cubism! Glamourpuss presents photo-primitivist Robin Bernard – and Dave Sim’s ‘old-fashioned’ photorealist versions of Robin’s portraits. The ‘History of Photorealism in Comics’ section deals with the rivalry between Alex Raymond and Stan Drake which begins to heat up in 1953-54.

    Am I the only one who thinks this is complete genius?

    It’s obviously not for everybody. My comic shop orders it for just for me, and the owner once told me he flipped through my copy and had no idea what to make of it. I was like, "No, no, no, its really cool, it’s like this illustrated history lesson on old-school comic-stripping mixed with this weird, satirizing of women’s fashion magazines." And he was like, "No offense, but that sounds fucking retarded." So I started thinking maybe I weird or something.

    This book keeps getting better and better.  And yes, it is a weird concept, but by no means "retarded".  If anything, it’s fucking innovative.

    By the way:  Is Cerebus Archives still being put out?  I haven’t seen it since issue #3, my shops not getting it anymore, but it’s advertised on the back of Glamourpuss.
