(urth) Speaking of Art...

[Jeff Wilson]

...Santa brought me back issues of the SHADOW comic book, as discussed 
recently. Indeed, Gene Wolfe is credited with Script Supervision and the 
script is true to the book modulo the adaptaion to comics, and it's fun 
to see the artists' different takes on the characters, the architecture, 
and especially the animals, but I don't think it can be taken as 
anything revelatory of the original work, due to the very poor quality 
of most of the anatomy and similar lack of attention to detail.

	Perhaps most egregious is that Severian (who is drawn to greatly 
resemble Gaiman's Dream) is drawn to be *taller* than Ultan!
