Mary Perkins & Umberto Eco
Mary Perkins & Umberto Eco
“… whoever has read the comics of Mary Atkins (1) published on “Il Giorno,” will note how the drawings are laid out through varied frame solutions with a highly technical assembly (the artist belongs to the great Alex Raymond school) with very unusual and daring angles and perspectives inspired by cinematographic language, contrasts (frame after frame) with views from a distance, from above, to settings in which the “lens” (ideally speaking) focuses on the characters through the gap of another character’s arms, drawn in a foreground close-up etc.”
from: Apocalittici e integrati, Umberto Eco, 1964
