Art Appreciation Moment of the Day: Stanley “Artgerm” Lau

Review: Dr. Horrible

From the moment Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog hit the intardwebz, fans of musical comedies, with a superhero hook have been in seventh heaven. While there have been a couple of attempts to tell a Dr. Horrible origin story, the official take on the villain’s past can only be found in the pages of Dr. Horrible #1 from Dark Horse Comics.

Beautiful artwork. I am fond of the Three Kingdoms books and all subsequent interpretations of it. Any chance we could get some more info on this “General Orders”?

The drawing is great, but I really love the way the coloring sells it.

OMG… I’ve just seen his deviant art gallery and it really made miss Manhua. In my country, Indonesia, we have a lot of Manhua ( Tony Wong, Andy Seto, etc ) and their style, how they color the comics are like that.
