RONALD WIMBERLY CALLS IT
“A MODERN CLASSIC”
The cult online comic, beautifully illustrated and finally in print
Writer
and artist James Harvey’s MASTERPLASTY, the cult online sensation, will
finally be available in print, coming to Image Comics this October.
A
young man decides to leave his college girlfriend after undergoing a
new medical procedure which drastically modifies the physical appearance
of the human body in ways both beautiful and hideous. But will changing
the outside change what’s within?
"Reading
comics as a kid, I loved Spiderman, I loved indie books like Dan Clowes
or Julie Doucet, I loved Akira, I loved Image artists like J. Scott
Campbell... I didn't see genres or styles", says Harvey. "I just saw
comics. I still do. I think you can see that in the work I do."
When
asked if he was to comics what Prince is to music—neither R&B,
funk, or rock—just Prince, Harvey said: "Exactly. I want to be the
Prince of comics. I already had two ribs taken out and I'm wearing
ladies' underwear, so I'm halfway there."
This
is James Harvey’s print debut. The issue will be in oversized format,
available for $3.99 to pre-order with Diamond Code AUG140555 and is
beautifully illustrated in the tradition of Jamie Hewlett and Katsuhiro
Otomo.
