4 Colour Process: A dedicated website to limited uncontrollable comic book art.

"... The classic comic book frame is an overstuffed box of visual information that is the functional opposite of disciplined sequential art. It doesn't compel us onward to the next frame; it invites us to sit down and stay a while. The point where narrative essence gives way to supporting information is hard to define, but terming the latter “detail” understates its consequence in the visual encounter with comic books.


In the mid-20th century comic book, millions of details undermined sequential art time by making readerly time infinitely variable. Details – along with the color process – provided textures, way stations, and destinations for the eye. Choose your own adventure. Find your personal fetishes in the nooks and crannies. ..." ~ John Hilgart
