So, Poutz and I love, love, love comix. She's more of an indie comic fan by way of rom com leanings with dark mystical stuff, and I'm more of a shoujo/manga fan but making my way through selective comics. SO Anyways, what we're going to do here at Shenanntics we plan on spotlighting comic books/artists/authors who are doing an
"above-and-beyond" kinda dealie for comics. It's our way of saying thanks and for them to know that they have supporters and to keep doing what they are doing.
For the first installment: I'm spotlighting creator of WaterBaby and Wet Moon the highly creative Ross Campbell.
Why does he rock it hard?
Because unlike a good deal of comics out there, Campbell's storyline involves girls and girls with actual personality. Not to mention they are shaped like real women, instead of the impossible stature that many male-driven comics offer up as their vision of the ideal woman. Plus to boot, he features characters of ethnic diversity. I don't have to explain why this is awesome, because diversity is awesome and it is needed in comics. Everyone deserves equal and truthful representation. Campbell doesn't do it in a way where it's heavy handed either, but in a way that is sure to please fans across all barriers and that is so awesome my socks have already came off.
