Comics: Milton Knight's Great Brown-Pericord Motor
This post is just the tip of the iceberg... see reason number 2 on our The Top Ten Reasons To Support The A-HAA for links to more great posts about print cartoonists.
Today, we had a visit from the talented cartoonist, Milton Knight. He brought along the original boards from one of his stories for Graphic Classics series.
Milton is an amazing artist... His work is informed by a diverse variety of influences, from Japanese art to Terrytoons. His compositions and line reflect a distillation of the New York cartooning style, while still remaining uniquely his own. I can't think of a single living cartoonist whose work in any way resembles Milton's. He's truly one of a kind.
Milton kindly agreed to let us post this entire story adapted from a short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle...
If you enjoyed this story, you can find the Graphic Classics Anthologies at Amazon.
Also, make it a point to visit Milton's Website.Thanks

Amazing!
I've posted a link to this on the Bakshi forum and will add it to the Media page tonight.
I hope Mr. Knight stops by again soon!
Dynamic!! Milt, your art is so animated that even when your characters are just talking to one another they seem to be moving all over the panel. Giving lessons will not turn out another Knight since there is, and will always be, only one of you. A true style setter.
