The Comedian by Jason Pearson

Art by Jason Pearson

Above, an intense Comedian by acclaimed comic book creator Jason Pearson. Pearson passed away last month but the sad news emerged just few days ago (more here). Pearson was a fantastic artist and a personal favourite of mine. He also drew a couple of Tom Strong stories written by Moore.

 

The 17th of August 2013 he wrote on his Facebook page:

Here's my newest piece- The Comedian from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon's 'Watchmen'. For those who don't know- Hollywood made a (terrible) movie about the series.
The piece is derived from the scene of the Comedian in Vietnam. It was a mental battle to do this or the scene from the bar when the Comedian kills a pregnant woman after she cuts his face open.

Yeah, I'm a sick minded individual.

Draw in Peace, Jason!
