Jans Atomic Heart is something I stumbled on quite by accident in my local comic book shop, and Im glad I did. This short work by Simon Roy recalls the best days of Heavy Metal magazine in the 70s and 80s, before it degenerated into sci-fi porn. Moreover, Roys watercolor-based technique, somewhat reminiscent of the Italian creator Gipi, is dense, beautiful, and surprisingly effective even when printed in black-and-white (Im guessing that the original pages were probably full-color). If the authors note at the end of Jans Atomic Heart is to be believed, Simon Roy is only is his early twenties, which means we have a lot more to look forward to from this young artist.
Thats good news for sure.
