His profile describes the influence of Brazilian and Pre-Columbian art upon his work but as well as seeing that I see many [...]

I found this strip through Daniel Merlin Goodbrey who is also the writer on Necessary Monsters another site which I check on regularly.
Noble’s artwork is perhaps an acquired taste but one which I found myself getting hooked on pretty quickly — it has an edgy simplicity that gives the strip a raw and atmospheric feel [...]

This comic has a great feel from the start — an atmosphere that permeates from the establishing panels of the first installment right through to the current week’s episode. It has grit — the same kind of grit that pumped in the blood of those old pulp detective stories; the big heart and the situation [...]

Last week the gun was fired — this week the projectiles hit their target. You know what the first thought was that popped into my head? Too damned easy. And a full on frontal assault against a group like the Freakangels? I know the New Cross crew and Mudlarks are being sold as perhaps not [...]

It remains for me and a lot of people, including Mike Mignola the creator of Hellboy, the preserve of the comic books which spawned him to explore the true nature and depths of the character. I think my first exposure was The Chained Coffin & Other Stories and the whole style of both the artwork [...]
