Description
Picked this up at NYCC 2023.
Jesse Lonergan transitioned from school teacher to full-time comics in 2019 and I only came to know his art, a few years later, thanks to Yo Kuri.
When Mignola broke the news that Jesse would be the artist on Miss Truesdale and the Fall of Hyperborea, I was excited to see what he would bring to the Hellboy universe.
He's kinda known as the "panel guy" with a unique vision on how he wants to do comics. He seems to take the conventional visual aspects/rules of reading comics and creates a different /odd way to create panel pages - in a good way - a way that makes you think.
Lonergan has said he uses the panels and gutters on a page as objects within the comic and plays with how the eye can be moved across the page. In this way the panels become measurements of distance to create movement through space, and in this example - movement through TIME!
Mignola has created a story that really plays into Lonergan's unique strengths and this page is one, that I think, showcases those strengths perfectly! THhe series connects the life of Miss Truesdale, in Victorian London, to a young gladiator's, Anum Yassa, in ancient Hyperborea. In turn, on this page, we see Miss Truesdale's link to Anum Yassa, also start to connect, to Thor, Hercules, Makoma, and Hellboy.
What is interesting here is that the moments that are out of time - are visually depicted without boarders - which I missed when I read the book because in color the colors created their own boarder.
When i pointed this out to Jesse told me that sometimes it's interesting to let the subconscious see what isn't there.
Here is a great review of the issue that really helped enrich my appreciation of this book

Mignola on Lonergan:
“I fell in love with Jesse’s stuff the moment I stumbled across it, but it took a long time for me to wrap my head around a way we could work together,” said writer Mike Mignola
