And yes, still enjoying Italy, thanks for asking. I’m here one more week and I’ll be back in Canada by Aug 5. Thanks again as always for wathching and commenting. Love hearing from you!

The reason Steranko is the Hendrix of Comics (to me) is that like Jimi Hendrix, he was almost completely self-taught. He never had any formal art training, which was a blessing for his style. Had Hendrix studied music theory, he would never have played as originally as he played.

Geekery with Dante D He asked my why I picked the print of X-Men #50 (Polaris) to get signed, then told me some great stuff about it. He also asked me about my life, and tried to predict how much I can bench press 🤣

Nice story, Dante. I was always a fan of Steranko, but never knew of his apparent bad-assery.

Oh right, cool. yeah a lot of really groovy info in the video, gonna need to go through my Dads old collection in the loft and see if I can find any issues by Steranko to have a look at. quite intrigued by French artist Moebius at the moment as well since he played a part in the visualisation of a lot of my favourite films.

Steranko was a genius. His art in Nick Fury Agent of Shield is the greatest an artist has ever done in a comic book series!
