Cliff Nielsen and the Marvel Alterniverse

Cliff Nielsen
Just finished a Marvel One-shot comic book called Ruins.  The story is what they call a alternative universe, where superheroes are caught in a different reality then the normal superhero story.  The story was interesting, but what really struck me was the artwork by Cliff and Terese Nielsen.  This was not your everyday comic book art.  It appears that each panel was created with gouache (opaque watercolor) and chalk, black and white.  The panels are sketchy and dynamic, where the artwork seems to flow.  While I won't be reading the comic again (it wasn't that interesting), I am definitely keeping the comic book for the art on every page.  Enjoy!
