Check out these sweet scans… totally typical 2011 indie infocomics, right? They’re actually fifty year old paintings by Walter Russell, who was some sort of half scientist/half witch from the early 20th century.  I’m not really familiar with his life or work, but when I stumbled across these paintings on Flickr I immediately fell in love with his lettering and linework.  There’s an entire gallery of this stuff if you’re interested in seeing more.
