Webcomic Wall papers

My first wall paper for Sentinel web comic site.

A New Golden Age ?

I wanted to express some thoughts about the history of comics.  Please keep in mind that I am not a comic historian.  What I am is someone who has read comics since childhood and continues to do so in my adult life.  I am writing this history based on my experiences. 

First and foremost (to me) comics are a visual medium.  Even before I could read the words I remember pouring over the illustrations on the covers.  My cousin Charlie always had tons of comics that his Mom gave away when we visited.  She would let my brother and I take stacks of comics home.  This was late sixties early seventies.  Lots of great Marvel stuff.  After a while I got to know the artist’s names like:  Jack “King” Kirby; “Big” John Buscema; Gil “Sugarlips” Kane; Don Heck;  Gene Colan and Neal Adams.  These were my first art instructors.
