Thomas Boatwright can be considered a comics artist auteur.
Aesthetically, Boatwright's washed art is sensitive, though not
delicate: it's solid. It has impressive range: his characters are
cartoony enough to be expressive, but detailed enough to lend them a
sense of corporeality; his backgrounds lend impressive scale and a good
deal of atmosphere to the proceedings; he's mastered the technique of
cinematic tableau, of conveying the impression that's he frozen the
most exciting moment, from the most dramatic angle, of an action; but
if I had to define his signature, it would have to be that he has taste
(which is uncommon enough in all genres of comics, including those
considered sui generis).
