The prehistoric idol on the front cover of Dungeon Quest Book One, the Mesopotamian-style frieze on the inside covers, and the idol's dangling genitals tell a lot about the content of the book: this will be a story about ciphers, icons and penises.

Sons of the Underground: Noah Van Sciver & Joseph Remnant
Posted by Rob Clough on July 9th, 2010 at 12:01 AM
One thing I've noticed in recent years is that there are an increasing number of young cartoonists who are drawing their inspiration directly from underground cartoonists like Robert Crumb, as opposed to the alternative artists of the '80s, the Xeric generation of the '90s or even their own peers. Joseph Remnant has been influenced by Crumb's realistic style, heavy use of hatching and crosshatching and bleak outlook. Noah Van Sciver's confessional style is not unlike Crumb's in some ways, especially the way he works out his problems on the page.
