This short review is from Mr Justin Giampaoli: Thanks Justin!
“The Escapologist (Self-Published): Simon Moreton has really been improving his craft lately, and The Escapologist is no exception. The style is full of his usual intricate fine line, with generous backgrounds and crosshatching technique on display. Where he really pours it on is the confidence with which he tells the story. There are several pages without any sort of dialogue, all capturing the disconnect between body and soul. It seems he’s fascinated by our ability to consciously experience the world around us with these different parts of our being. There’s even some suggestion that reality is merely an illusion, being a man-made construct. It’s a terribly quick read, but extremely thought-provoking, and I quite liked it. Grade A.”
I think this sums up pretty much what I’m trying to achieve with The Escapologist. But don’t forget: unlike my other mini-comics, The Escapologist is a serial, and the story will be building across a fair few issues, the second of which will be available soon.
