Gunnerkrigg is awesome for its art. What do you think the most dropdead beautiful page is? non-spoilery would be good, because I'd like to show it off to somebodies. Oh, and www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=995 doesn't count.

Some earlier examples: gunnerkrigg.com/?p=90Tom has made a lot, I mean a lot of progress, but this is one of the pages that shows he's always got a huge talent. gunnerkrigg.com/?p=770I love this entire sequence. gunnerkrigg.com/?p=650The perspective of that robot being tossed around is really good. The entire robot flashback is good, though spoilery as hell. gunnerkrigg.com/?p=387One of the things is like about this comic is that even the dialogue-heavy scenes are not visually boring. The illustrations on this page are pretty AND aid the understanding of what is being said. Nice. gunnerkrigg.com/?p=388I still can't wrap my head around how Tom can make all the hugely different tones of this comic work.

www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=831From a purely aesthetic basis, this is my favorite. The colors are muted, which gives it much more of a painting feel compared to most of the comics with bright, clear shapes. Usually, Annie's hair is one solid mass, or two or three parts, but here there are lots of separate locks of hair, which contribute to a much more realistic feel (she looks so pretty). I like the body language with the implied movement, her upper body leaning forward with her hands seemingly about to push the plants out of her way. Just wonderful.

www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=831Both for the great use of colour and the context for this scene. I bought this as a print and had it up on my wall...until it got creased =(

Among others, this one. Because I'm prone to panic attacks and all this chapter describes it well (for me) in a beautiful way, and the softies spot where lies Gamma is the sweetest and cutest thing ever, with all those colors in a gray and tern world. All the Stone chapter. And many other pages, some of them already cited here.

I'd probably say the most aesthetically pleasing page is this one, barring treatises. Maybe it's just because Kat's my favorite character, but I find it hauntingly beautiful. 'Twas probably damn difficult to draw, too.

Yeah, but all the interesting stuff is covered up!

Okay, mostly because of naked Jones. Yeah, but all the interesting stuff is covered up! Aw, I guess you're right. Those perfect, round, beautiful eyes have a rime of frost on 'em! It's amazing she can see at all. But on the plus side, most of her silky hair and sensuous lips are left exposed!

I don't see how that'd be an issue.

Dang. This thread is going to get to do an archive binge some time in the next forty-eight hours. Kudos to Zimmyhoo for starting a thoughtful thread that is (so far) actually staying on topic.
