Grandissimo artista! ho potuto ammirarlo in

Thor: Vikings (with Garth Ennis, Marvel Comics, 2003)

non fosse per l'eccesso di splatter (che fa aumentare il ribrezzo al posto della fifa...   )
e

Destruction: On The Peninsula (with Neil Gaiman, in The Sandman: Endless Nights, 2003)

assolutamente da applauso!
