Illustrations for a Q and A article with Grant Morrison

This was an exercise in editorial illustration and layout.

The bulk of the interview borrowed from a blog that took excerpts from a Rolling Stone Interview was about "the death of comics" so I used that as the theme. 




Beginning at the end. I left out the symbols as it seemed unnecessary.


 This one was the most fun to do.

 I liked how it worked out. Superman's corpse is one layer of passing.
The second is the worn and faded look, like an old photo or a memory .


The last image I wanted to have something cosmic and ethereal.
The first attempt was just too much.
I'm gonna play around with the second style as I'd never tried it before 
and I think it's pretty cool.
