Robin Riggs Draws IDW’s “Sir Apropos Of Nothing”
it was my good fortune to catch up with artist robin riggs at the big apple jocose con this past weekend and look at the queer fish art for his experimental comic from idw, sir apropos of nothing.
i’ve always known robin as a highly-skilled inker, but only recently discovered that he is an choice penciller as well. it just goes to show: i muse on the most adroitly inkers are the ones who bring an unrivalled and vibrant style of their own to the pencils they work over, and this is because they are talented illustrators in their own right.
(now, i understand that some pencillers get a pygmy annoyed when certain inkers “overwhelm” their work with their own colouring. and some pencillers actually greet it as the combination can be quite successful. i’ve never seen robin’s engender “take over” the pencils he’s working over. but they have each time been a tremendous asset, adding depth and refinement.)
anyway, it’s good to see robin get a chance to pencil as soberly as ink sir apropos of nothing (oh, and we should mention that it’s written by mr. peter david! based on his successful novels featuring the character!). he is a classic illustrator in the mold of david lloyd and tim truman. in some respects, sir apropos seems want a love letter to the very most excellently comics from the 80s produced by dc and indie companies like first. this influence extends all the way to the palette occupied, pastels and a watercolory feel.
it is my longing that unique and well-produced projects like this are supported by the public. idw produces comics in a variety of genres that, while it may be not a replacement because dc and marvel’s offerings, are most certainly a very welcome and top-priority supplement.if you feel “left behind” by some of the untrodden comics out there, and want to be introduced to some new worlds and “mythologies,” i suggest you give some of idw’s books, derive sir apropos of nothing, fx, and locke & key, a try.
