time ago remembered Al Williamson, at the his death, speaking of his work because the ink on pencils of John Romita JR in Daredevil stories written by Ann Nocenti (s Frank Miller). It has been decades long. But even before the ink to specialize, also due to its slowness in the realization of complete tables for many years worked with Archie Goodwin (another author and editor of the indispensable history of American popular comic strip) to a daily strip, X -9 , a secret agent-style invented by classic odd couple Dashiell Hammett and Alex Raymond in the '30s. In the second half 60s was asked Goodwin and Williamson groped for a revival of the character, a raise that was very successful and continued with the authors until 1980.
tables of Williamson are still full of intelligence, taste and sense of rhythm of the narrative. are a school, as far as I'm concerned, the non-superhero comic book adventure . A solid system for a character is simple and well characterized through the wild on every possible variation on the theme of espionage and yellow. The boards are reporting that in 1966, Goodwin was experiencing the tradition, moving from one strip to the other scripts in a fluid and natural. But is that Williamson is just perfect. In these examples has not yet reached his full artistic synthesis, which will mature with experience and production needs, and are still evident all the great masters realistic referenced. Yet states have a clarity of purpose and visual expression that is pure talent. Nothing over the top, nothing pulled away, leaving nothing to chance. Care and intelligence, in short, for a product that can not be serial. As demonstrated by this classic car chase.
