Event Throws Focus on Marcus Hamilton
Over at the Fantagraphics Books blog, Eric Reynolds writes an
almost out-of-left-field mini-tribute to current
Dennis the Menace artist
Marcus Hamilton on the occasion of an event in Charlotte related to FBI's printing of the Ketcham run. I liked this piece because when archival projects start up, the artist who's doing the strip now usually gets buried by association -- which no matter what your thoughts on whether strips should continue past their creators' passing usually doesn't need to happen as spitefully as it sometimes does. One thing that pops into my head if you look at that first
Dennis book is how soul-destroyingly difficult it must be to work to anything close to Ketcham's signature style.
