COMICS: STORY VS. ART
I ran across a few really interesting posts about the relationship between story and art in comics recently.
David Apatoff takes a look at award winning comics with art that fails to be as expressive as Mad magazine's Mort Drucker.
Jeff Parker writes an excellent piece on writing scripts towards an artists talents.
Both of which made me think of this great old post by Jesse Hamm. If you overlook the snarky attitude, there is A LOT of great info here on how NOT to write comics for artists. I've worked on many, many scripts (including my own) that contained more than one of the script errors he spotlights here.
