When I think of comics that bring forth a sense of wonder, these are two that rise to the very top. Both feature simple yet extremely expressive characters combined with beautiful backgrounds and landscapes in stories filled to the brim with imagination. Their tales will touch you as much as they make you laugh and are truly must reading for any lover of illustrated fiction.
Brilliant!
ReplyDelete...And, quite topical, too. There is currently a documentary on Bill Watterson, and the impact and influence of Calvin & Hobbes!
Have you done an Atom/Ant-Man yet? I would love an "Inch high private eye" crossover! Machine Man/Inspector Gadget!
ReplyDelete...or Ant-Man/Atom Ant!?
ReplyDeleteAtom/Ant Man is in there, check the archives.... and they will meet again!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great pairing... and I appreciated your description of their similarities, too! I'd never thought of it before, but they do have a lot in common!
