8. F.I.S.H. "Vulgaris Returns" (Un-Iverse #62)

Rating: PG. Honestly? Some adult-skewed political themes but the actual content of the issue is unusually mild, especially for this stage of the game. A bit of a respite for me, to be honest. 

































F.I.S.H. #8 "Vulgaris Returns" (Un-Iverse #62) 

It's decent but it was perhaps foolish of me to bill this one as a "Famous Talky Issue". I mean, it IS a talky issue, but the Famous Talky Issues are labeled as such because they are amazing. This issue most certainly is not. I feel like me holding it up to the other Famous Talky Issues is me writing a check my butt can't cash.

Welcome To Gilda And Meek And The Un-Iverse!

Image
My name is Matt Zimmer and I have created a crudely drawn comic book (mostly in the pencil stage) and I have drawn over 50 issues at this point. I will be posting them all on this blog.  What is Gilda And Meek about?  It's about several things at once. It's a story of a Lucky Universe in a Multiverse teeming with Unlucky Ones and how our hero navigates that to her own advantage. It's a funny animal book that bit by bit reveals a huge fantasy and science fiction underpinning, much like Bone. It starts off as an erstwhile comedy until you realize it's actually been a drama the entire time. It's a story that after you read all 90 issues, you'll want to reread them again, as the best reading of The Un-Iverse isn't the first, it's the second. It's a bunch of random and seemingly unrelated characters and stories building and crossing over until they collide in an epic 19-part finale. It's about the antagonistic and loving relationship betwee

1. Gilda And Meek "Groundwork" Special Edition (Un-Iverse #1)

Rating: PG-13 (Bloody Violence and Drug Use).  A Note About The Special Edition Of Gilda And Meek "Groundwork" The first version of Groundwork looked absolutely terrible. I had not drawn in over 15 years when I put it to paper in 2015 and my weak arm and lettering indecisions made the issue look incredibly unprofessional. Not my best foot forward for getting people into Gilda And Meek on this site.  So I've taken the occasion to entirely redo the artwork with some minor script revisions. It looks much closer to my current art style and yet I feel the rough spirit of the first version is still present. As the Groundwork for the canon, it was sort of designed to be the worst issue to start out with, and to be built upon and improved from there. I think it's probably still the worst issue (as designed) but I'm no longer ashamed of the artwork. We'll see if readers agree.  Author's Note for Gilda And Meek #1 "Groundwork" Special Edition (Un-Ivers

Other Artists I Like

Here are some links to artwork for other artists I like, mostly that I have met through the animation forum Anime Superhero.  Gatordragon is a personal hero of mine. His Bounty Fools characters are something I love and dig. I can't wait to see the story someday. Here is his Instagram page:  Gatordragon PalkAaron2002 does a lot of neat and colorful media banners. They look terrific and eyepopping. His Deviant Art Page is PalkAaron2002 Samuel Edme has a very cool and unusual web strip out called The Shapes. Check out his Tapas and Webtoon pages (linked below) Sam The Cartoonist's The Shapes at Tapas Sam The Cartoonist's The Shapes At Webtoons I love RandomMe Arts. His Mermen obsession never fails to make me smile. His drawings are super appealing to me.  RandomMe Arts My friend Nana Kumi-Amankwah has a GREAT webcomic called "Lil' Hero Artists". The artwork would be amazing enough for me to recommend if it the story sucked, but it doesn't. The whole thing is
