12 Days of Brandon Graham’s King City: Day 11
December 23rd, 2010 by david brothers | Tags: brandon graham, king cityAnother reason why King City is so vibrant is that it’s just full to bursting with content. This panel is simple–Joe walks up a stairwell past some goons and into a hideout. It’s the sort of panel where you don’t have to do a lot. Just show some stairs, some goons, and bam, done. Instead, though, Graham loads it with information. Tons of graffiti, characters with real personality and style, the couple making out over in the corner… it’s a panel that your eye should sprint past, but it’s got so much to it that you have to pay attention.

I don’t know how large Graham draws, but he seems to have that third sight for how much room *can* be created inside a panel. While at the same time, allowing the idiosyncratic details of each figure pop out.
