NYCC 2021 | The Writer-Artist Titan
Video

Members Access | NYCC 2021 | The Writer-Artist Titan

Comics give rise to a uniquely adept storytelling Titan - the writer/artist. This gift granted from the realm of the art gods bestows upon an individual the ability to engulf a reader in a sole vision of artistic literature. The writer-artist unifies two worlds; merging the written word and the image reveals an all-encompassing solitary window into the magical realm of a singular mind's imagination. The divine crown of writer/artist transcends both worlds allowing for an exclusively intimate connection between creator and reader by affixing two minds through the path of least resistance. Familiar titanous landscapes include: The beat streets of Will Eisner. The Haunted Realms of Mike Mignola. The blood-stained cities of Frank Miller. The Galactic Battlescapes of the King himself Jack Kirby. Distinct to each of these creations is the irreplaceable thumbprint of their creator's vision.
