This week I read Moebius Stories from Heavy Metal. It contains many small comics that are image driven. Most of these comics have more images than dialogue. These images can be simple black and white style, or more enhanced and vibrant colors. Some of the comics also incorporate surrealism. One of my favorite from the few was "Free Fall" which is a simple black and white textless comic that incorporates surreal ideas and images. It was a simple comic with no real representations or text, but ultimately shows the beauty behind the concept of comics. It tells a story without the use for words or color. It allowed me to view comics as a form of art and craftmanship.
As an artist, we desire to explicate concepts, ideas, or stories through the form of visuals. What I got from this week's comic is that this style or decision for fantasy in comics help enable the development of graphic science fiction and expand the fantasy spectrum.
