Commentaire
September 6, 1956: Alex Raymond entering his Mercedes 300SL on the last day of his life. He will meet up with Stan Drake and go on to be killed in a car crash. Drake barely survives. It is raining, and the slippery roads and bad weather may have contributed to the car crash.
I would say The Strange Death of Alex Raymond is a masterpiece. A large part of
the story was serialized in Dave Sim´ s idiosyncratic comic book Glamourpuss. It started out as a history and analysis of photo-realism in newspaper comic strips (Hal Foster, Alex Raymond, Stan Drake and others), and then it focused more and more on the artistic and psychological relationship between Raymond and Drake. Part impressive research, part metaphysical-psychological speculation. And all of it drawn in the photo-realistic style.
The story was to be published separately. It was partially redrawn and taken in a more metaphysical-speculative direction. Then, unfortunately, and for various reasons Sim abandoned it. His fellow artist Carson Grubaugh finished it, and it was published as a handsome HC book in 2021.
