More clearing the decks on the collection... SpaceHawk

As I work by way, Covid-style, through the collection -- I struggle so hard with my Wolverton comics.  I bought them for the same reason I bought Terry and the Pirates (see wincing in an earlier post).  There is a reason to want to read the works of the generation that was still discovering the medium and genres.

But I remember the first time someone asked me whether Picasso really saw women as fragments breasts and asses -- was his painting indicative of how he saw the world and the people within it.  After all, painters often begin by "painting what they see."  I could not see Picasso the same way again.

Is this what Wolverton saw when he looked at the world?  (I shiver to think.)



Monsters are strangely rubbery.  Their skin hides all of the skeletal structure except creepily on the face, where the bones and teeth are uncomfortably visible.  The horrors of the body seem explicit in the comics.
