Louis Getting Looney

Having a bit of trouble getting outside of my head. Just a short post to keep a hole in the wall.

Louis Ferstadt wasn't always the greatest story teller - by which i mean his layouts sometimes lacked a natural flow for the eye of the reader. Of course, a lot of the visual language and common tricks to keep the page easy to follow were still being developed back then.

On the up side of that aspect of his work, his pages were rarely dull and sometimes imaginatively energetic.



pages by Louis Ferstadt from Doll Man #7 (1943)

  1. Picked up Doll Man 7 for this. As Depeche Mode said 'just can't get enough"!

  2. A worthy pick up, even without my pro-odd bias.
    I know what you mean. My 'grabbing hands grab all they can.'
