Come see the wild and weird primordial dawn of man in
Jamie Chase'
First World!
Jamie Chase's First World is unique in the world of comics these days. It is a throwback to a long gone time in comics when there was a love for powerful jungle lords and when ferocious T Rexes clashed with sharp horned Triceratops.
As I look through the book I am brought back to a time when they used simpler lines and strong swaths of black ink to communicate to the reader the way Jessie Marsh’es art did in his highly acclaimed Tarzan series or the way Rex Maxon did in his Turok, Son of Stone. First World lives in a place that is also reminiscent of Kirby's barbaric 70's comics like Kamandi, the Last Boy, 2001: A Space Odyssey, or Devil Dinosaur.

| from upper left; Jesse Marsh did a highly praised run on Tarzan in the 50's. In the second image you can see his impressionistic style of inking. Turok Son of Stone was a well remembered 60's comic about some native Americans that found themselves in a valley of dinosaurs. Jack Kirby did a few comics in the late 70's using the barbarian and monster theme like his 2001: A Space Odyssey, the apocalyptic Kamandi, the Last Boy and the prehistoric Devil Dinosaur and Moon Boy. |

| Jamie uses an impressionistic approach to inking here with a reserved pallet of colors to let our minds fill in the vivid details. |
 |
| Jamie creates a wonderful rhythm with his blacks, giving interest to the eye as it skips across the page. |
On First World Jamie plays with the art in wonderful ways, sometimes giving us vague impressionistic images that we fill in the detail with our imaginations and sometimes giving us majestic, highly detailed images that stick with you long after you've turned the page.
 |
| Jamie mixes up the medium by sometimes using rough crosshatching and sometimes using what looks like a computer generated images like this image of a flying saucer. |
This seems like a one shot but I'm hoping that it's just the first book of a whole series because I want to explore it more fully and live in it a little while longer.
Jamie Chase is also an abstract painter too boot! And had a show of his figure work last summer at the Matthews Gallery.
My wish right now is that God should continue to bless Dr Emu for his good works towards the life of those people who are heart broken. My name is Michael DeBruin and I am from the USA, it's been a while since my lover's attitude changed from being the caring type she has been to me, but later turned out not to be caring at all. But not long, I later discovered that my lover was having an affair with someone else. and also she told me she doesn't need me after all we pass through then a friend told me about a spell caster. that with the spell I will get back my woman, I took his cell number then called him and also what's-app him which he reply to me and I did some sacrifices to the spell man and he bought the items for me which he used for the sacrifices and later called me that before 48 hours my love will come back to me and now we are more in love with each other than ever. you can reach him on WhatsApp +2347012841542 or reach him via mail ; emutemple@gmail.com , my lover returned back and broke up with the other guy she was having a relationship with... Thank you Dr Emu.
