Mythologies & Apocrypha #2
The second issue of Mythologies & Apocrypha continues Tim Lane's exploration into the mythology of celebrity in America with “Steve McQueen & Frank Sinatra in America,” focusing on the friendship between Frank Sinatra and Steve McQueen, and their corresponding but differing popular appeal. Lane also depicts the early life of McQueen and his life with his neglectful and alcoholic mother, presented in the style of 1930s childrens cartoons and comics, as seen through the eyes of a middle-aged McQueen recalling his childhood. Bonus! A two-sided, tipped in poster!

Mythologies & Apocrypha #2
Tim Lane follows up the first packed issue of his ongoing Mythologies & Apocrypha series with more regaling adventures of icons from various eras of Americana like Steve McQueen, Frank Sinatra, Johnny Carson, and more. Lane's recurring "L'il Steve", the best piece featured in NOW #12, serves as the strongest piece here and well worth the price of admission alone.
Even if the subject matter is unappealing to you, Lane's artistry is well worth checking out. From cover to cover is demonstration of Lane's rigorous line work, gritty cross-hatching and dense compositions. Every aspect of Mythologies & Apocrypha has Lane's signature over it, making this a proper successor to his earlier iconic series - Happy Hour in America.
