Mesmo Delivery: The Gift of Comic Book Goodness from Rafael Grampá
Posted by Michael Pinto on Feb 3, 2010 in Comic Books |
Thanks to the CB Radio craze of the 70s I have to admit that I had a cultural snottiness when it comes to any form of entertainment featuring truckers: So I have to admit that I was blown away by the sheer charm of the comic book Mesmo Delivery by Rafael Grampá and Marcus Penna. What I like about the look of this book is that the inking style has quite a bit of grit and texture, yet the character designs and poses almost have a charming if not slightly cute feeling to them. The result is that each page has the sort of warmth that you would see in folk art except that the draftsmanship is both exquisite and exhilarating to look at:
Mesmo Delivery comes out today and is published by Dark Horse Comics.
