Review
Neil Gaiman: "One of the many delights in making Sandman: Endless Nights was helping to bring artist Barron Storey to another audience. Barron is a genius: an amazing artist, a teacher and thinker about art, astonishingly creative, enourmously influential (I remember my wry amusement when one reviewer referred to Barron as being a Bill Sienkiewcz imitator, for Bill along with countless other important artists, is someone who acknowledges being influenced by Barron) and I still remember how overwhelming it was to see" --http://www.neilgaiman.com/journal/2007/01/time-to-go.html
If you spend any time at all in this business talking with the practitioners of the field as I do, and especially if you tend to discuss influences and those lesser-known artists whose work deserves wider recognition, inevitably you will encounter the name Barron Storey. And with good reason. As a teacher, he's proven to be a primary--if not primal--influence upon a diverse group of noteworthy creators, including the likes of Dave McKean and Bill Sienkiewicz. As an artist, his work proves to be both mesmerizing and visceral, evidencing a command of technique and clarity of purpose that is simply stunning in its execution and scope. Without a doubt, he is one of the most gifted, even visionary artists of his generation. And yet, with the exception of his collaboration with Neil Gaiman on a tale of Despair in Endless Nights, much of his work is hard to find. True, there's always The Marat/Sade Journals, a nearly impossible-to-find [or afford!] art book which was issued by Kevin Eastman's glorious and long-defunct Tundra imprint, and a handful of publications issued by Vanguard, many of which are also becoming increasingly rare. Beyond that, there is a real and woeful lack of Storey's work which is readily available in print. Happily, that situation is about to change. --http://www.worldfamouscomics.com/bakersdozen/back20070418.shtml
