Richard Corben "Bloodstar"- Page B

Published by Ariel Books September 1979

Corben's detailed, airbrushed artwork describes Howard's primeval world where a warrior is outcast from society and battles to survive against warring tribes and mutated life forms.

Corben excels particularly in anatomy and in story telling simplicity. He concentrates more on accuracy than on graphic panel effects, and despite the distortion and stylization that fits into the comic book world of Bloodstar, Corben builds a physical space where the reader can understand and feel what is happening.

This is a particularly good case of demonstrating that length does legitimately imply that a piece of sequential art is truly a "Graphic Novel."
