Frank Quitely's gorgeous art takes him forever, but the results are always worth it. That shakily detailed line, the stunning use of perspective and balance, a healthy dose of a very wry sense of humour and a general sense of inventiveness. He's a thoughtful, meticulous artist, and he's also excellent and drawing fight scenes, putting the human body in outrageous poses that have a scream of truth to them, full of incredible acrobatics and real force behind the atomic punches. It's a delight to highlight 13 of my favourite fight scenes by Frank over the coming few months of Sundays.
