Greg Ruth is primarily an illustartor ( see: Freaks of the Heartland ) but he has also written and illustrated his own comic: Sudden Gravity.
Sudden Gravity is amazing. Ruth used only pen to create some very interesting effects that work amazingly well with his odd story of the caretakers and patients of the spooky Bentham International hospital.
Ruth’s tale is very offbeat and full of strange, surreal images expertly drawn. He can write compelling dialogue as well. The thoughts and impulses of the patients are well done and add a nice degree of suspense to the story.
At the same time the dialogue between the resident staff is natural and well crafted. Characters interact with subtle conversations and you really get a feel for the relationships they have amongst each other.
Ruth’s graphic novels reward patient readers that enjoy cerebral, suspenseful tales of horror.
My most favorite thing about Greg Ruth, and this probably isn’t fair for me to point out, is that he doesn’t like random yahoos making one off comments about his work on the amazon.com review page. 2/3 of the way down the page is his steamy defense of some knucklehead who didn’t like Sudden Gravity.
Thats right Greg! Don’t take no shit from nobody!
