Definitely the forerunner of comic inkers. It's a bit surprising how wide the style is between the different plates depending on engraver.Dave Koppermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09292071349686573917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-71021224462511488572016-09-21T13:24:39.182-05:002016-09-21T13:24:39.182-05:00I am speechless...I am speechless...Carson Grubaughhttp://hodtech.net/comics.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-16844294408319749862016-09-21T12:28:59.306-05:002016-09-21T12:28:59.306-05:00Hello Anonymous!
See if you can find the biograph...Hello Anonymous!<br /><br />See if you can find the biography written by his collaborator, English writer Blanchard Jerrold. It's a good introduction written by a friend. There's lots of primary source information out there, letters etc, a virtual avalanche of paper—but very little on the internet.<br /><br />Also oodles of information at Dan's site, Doreana.com http://doreana.com/<br /><br />Dave—my pleasure! Thanks for bringing me on board.Sean Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794186823194520775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-71752507420571465512016-09-21T12:17:52.664-05:002016-09-21T12:17:52.664-05:00Needless to say, a HUGE debt to Sean and Dan for g...Needless to say, a HUGE debt to Sean and Dan for going...MANY...extra miles on this. <br /><br />Really hoping that CEREBUS IN HELL #0 is enough of a hit so that I can commission Dan to write a definitive introduction on the MANY parodies of DORE'S INFERNO over the years. The last time I spoke with him on the phone, he indicated that there's circumstantial but compelling evidence that Tolstoy got the title WAR AND PEACE from Dore's project of the same name (the chronology matches and WAR AND PEACE was called something else originally. This is the same Dan Malan who is the definitive CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED collector and scholar and whose credited research has been included in every OVERSTREET PRICE GUIDE for the last...30 years? Long time, anyway. <br /><br />Definitely JAW-DROPPING reproduction -- particularly now that I'm as familiar with the plates as I am. Up until today, I would have called that lead-in shot of Dante a top quality version. <br /><br />We're all standing by on pins and needles waiting to see when Marquis will be able to slot us in.<br /><br />Oh, and Sean? TimF's cheque came in, so payment in full for the JAKA'S STORY restoration is on its way to you.

It seems that he was a child prodigy on early age and never married in his lifetime. He was truly devoted on his art. Got to respect that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
