    I've had the pleasure of spending time with both Kent and Jon and they are damn good guys. Insanely talented as well, obviously. I used to kick it at Jason Shawn Alexander's studio a lot when I lived in LA and Kent's work space was right next door. Insane to see his work process and these incredible mixed media paintings come to life. This comic series is a classic, great job as always Ed and Jim!

    I think that lithe Burroughs-like character is mostly modeled after an older Marcel Duchamp.

    Meltdown is my most nostalgic comic. I got this when I was about 10 years old. It made me love Havok. Great to watch this tear down. Thank you.

    These, and 'Blood: a tale', were pivotal for me when I was a budding 14-year-old artist. I loved Muth, but I really loved Kent and his wiggly pen line of that period. I was a bit sad when he changed his style, but I quickly grew to love that too.

    The older guy who seems familiar is modeled on surrealist filmmaker Jean Cocteau.

    Did some Kayfaber homework as I had the chance to see Kent Williams at Designercon a few weeks ago. I asked him about the division of labor with Jon Muth, and he said that just like Havok and Wolverine in the story, he and Muth started working on the art together, then went their separate ways, just as the characters split during the middle of the story, and then came together again to work on the ending. Super cool dude, with awesome taste. I would check out the illustrated edition of Kwaidan & Shadowings that he did.

    Its funny you guys mention George Pratt. He's currently my professor and when I saw this video I was like "this looks like Pratt's work". You guys should definitely do a video on his comics. Really inspirational stuff to me.

    A personal favorite of mine. So abstract at times and then near photo real. A roller coaster with some truly great characters.

    I haven't been in comics my whole life, so I only just recently learned of Elektra Assassin this past year. I fell in love with the look. Some of the images I've seen of Wolverine in this book are...interesting but overall the book looks pretty amazing! I'd like to get my hands on a copy.

    I am 90% sure the woman is Tori Amos, who was an inspiration for Delerium. Tori Amos has had a big impact on comics despite not ever being in the industry.

    I enjoy your hot takes on all these books, and the jokes and all. But, more importantly, I love your combined knowledge that you drop in these videos. It's great to learn some history and background, and how the comic industry works/worked.

    Ed, the image you asked about looks like Andre Gregory, an actor best known for the film “My Dinner with Andre”. In fact I think the portrait is a swipe of a photo still from the movie.

    You can achieve that oil look with matte medium & acrylic. Which can speed things up. If you screw up the medium on the oils, the paint will deteriorate after the fact. Then again I've seen a couple of Kent cover originals that were all oil.
