"Jack Staff" will be back right after this ...


Here's a story about Paul Grist, of "Kane" and "Jack Staff" fame, who will be returning to "Jack Staff" shortly after he releases "The Eternal Conflicts of the Cosmic Warrior" in November.
He's long been one of my favorite comic artists, but have to admit, he weaves so many stories together the comic is sometimes hard to follow month to month. He says that himself in the article.
That said, I'd highly recommend the trade paperbacks of "Kane" and "Jack Staff." Kane is a crime series, while "Jack Staff" is a superhero comic.
He uses a lot of parody and in-jokes about the comics world, but the material reads well at face value, even if you don't know any of the background stuff he is referring to.
And, Grist has a unique art style. Nobody in comics draws quite like him. Not, these days, anyway.

Kind of reminds one of that Canadian hero in that John Byrne authored comic.

Dude ... Are you just begging me for another phallus mention? With a name like "Jack Staff"? :)
