"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

    A me piace abbastanza, anche se la mia preferita resta Tempesta. Mi è tornata alla mente quest’immagine (da L’ultimo canto di Fenice) perché riflettevo su chi ritiene che Greg Land non sia un vero artista, per via della sua abitudine di trarre le sue immagini quasi testualmente da fotografie o da fotogrammi di film. Quest’allegoria di Jean Grey, una pagina interna del fumetto (nemmeno una copertina) decisamente dimostra che c’è molto di più nell’arte del disegno della capacità di inventare una posa. Jean appare in sogno a Scott al centro, contornata da altre immagini che raffigurano i momenti salienti della sua vita. A destra due momenti da Fenice ed uno da Jean, a sinistra due momenti da Jean e uno da Fenice. In basso, il matrimonio e la morte, con la spalla di Scott che continua perfettamente nella schiena di Scott stesso. E quei due raggi ottici, nel sogno e nella realtà, che scalfiscono l’immagine sulla sinistra come delle artigliate. Greg Land non è un artista? Ma per piacere…
