Description
This is a beauty - gorgeous draughtsmanship by Dave Gibbons as Martha negotiates one of her famous crash landings!
Dave Gibbons is one of the best at drawing convincing tech and his depiction of the plane flying apart is spot on, along with Frank Miller's narration it really puts you in the cockpit.
I also really like this piece because it reminds me of Roy Lichtenstein's Whaam painting, where he shamelessly appropriated the work of Irv Novick - Gibbons did a brilliant satirical print on this very subject some years ago.
Martha pages come up rarely and I'm delighted to have this epic piece.
