My initial choice of doing an analysis of “Marvel 1602” has been replaced with Neil Gaiman’s “Sandman” comic series. I changed to this topic for a number of reasons; firstly, my professor was more familiar with Neil Gaiman’s work. Secondly, the multitude of different issues and installments of the comics offer a wider range of details that can be analyzed. And lastly, the style found within the artwork of Sam Keith and Mike Dringenberg, as well as the story by Neil Gaiman, are so unique and eye catching. The comics have also been met with a fair amount of critical success, so there will be plenty of information from other sources to work with.
Hi Cody,
Sounds like a very impressive plan. Gaiman’s work is known as one of the best work done in the industries. A consistent and indelible part of his writing is his allusions to other works of fiction. I feel like almost everything he writes contains references and nods to things like folklore, mythology, and Gaiman’s way of approach to the content(of course). It’s great you are taking his inspiration and the artwork Sam Keith and Mike Dringenberg. It sounds like a very creative and aesthetically pleasing final project.
Seems like a neat comic to explore. And since there is plenty of source material on it, shouldn’t be a problem completing it!
