 | 18/1/2004 Silly me! I forgot to introduce my latest Featured Link (My last one was Star Bored, BTW) Well, if you look to the left of the post, you'll notice that I've changed my featured link to Zero Sleep Beauty. This one is a gem I found through my friend Lynn at Sand and Stone. Without exaggerating I can say that this is one of the few webcomics I've read that managed to impress me by the time I read page 2. The creator, Becca Ming, does some really fantastic art, and has a gorgeous an art style that's quite unique. The setting is also an interesting one; it invokes the feel of those "Once upon a time" fairly tales that we all read when we were kids. The language matches the story, and it's not overdone like the lame attempts some comics have when they attempt to speak 'old-fashioned'. Most of all, one characteristic works most in ZSB's favour: Becca is a very good storyteller. IMHO, the thing that distinguishes a mudane comic from a great one is the execution of the concept and idea. We're not reading comics to get to the end of a story, we're here to enjoy the journey. All that said, head over to ZSB have a look for yourself. And don't blame me if you get hooked and end up waiting desperately for updates to come ;) -Ping |
