Cathedral Child came out in what, 1999, and It looks like you’ve got a solid grip on perspective. (Got a copy of the trade sitting in my lap :)) Of course you were probably drawing this around the time you were first reading The Perspective Book so that might be what I’m seeing.

It cut through my ADD when it comes to understanding perspective and really improved my work!
I didn’t discover it until 1998, which shows there’s ALWAYS something new and exciting to learn about making comcis.

That’s a lot of comics for three bucks!

I think I had about the same reaction you did, but I also really enjoyed the Mack White “Weird West” piece.

It’s a shame that Reed Graphics, the publisher, didn’t last longer than it did. Thanks for the Perspective link.

The Perspective book is still in print, although I doubt it will be as of-interest to non-artists as Understanding Comics is.
