Go, Read: Bob Levin On Greg Irons

I can't imagine anything better to start off a Monday than an article from the best writer about comics out there, Bob Levin, this time on the career of the late Greg Irons as chronicled in Patrick Rosenkranz's 2006 biography/art book You Call This Art?! Like Irons, Levin has roughly hippie-era connections to the greater Philadelphia area and San Francisco, and... well, that's about where the similarities end. It's a short and straight-forward piece, crisply written and perhaps a bit more cursory and to the point than some of Levin's longer, astonishing, divergence-filled epics, but in the end a sturdy summation of a compelling artist's life story, told with matter-of-fact sympathy. Such an article is especially welcome after the masturbatory scrum on the state of writing about comics that slipped into the final hours of last week's DC Comics-driven news cycle.
