In 1993-1994, I did a series of 12 homages, "Metonymic" homage artist's book objects, to the superhero comic artists of my youth. Jack Kirby, Gene Colan, Steve Ditko, Neal Adams, Jim Steranko, Carmine Infantino, Gil Kane, Wallace Wood, Al Williamson, Joe Kubert, Will Eisner, and a friend I collaborated with as children, Gary Scoles. I made artist's book objects exactly in the dimensions of Silver Age comic magazines. Each has a glossy, solid, primary-colored cover and a single folded "center-fold splash" in black colored-pencil on rag paper. I was interested primarily in how their powerful, unique artistic personalities came through even in their line quality alone, independent of represented image. I took various small details from the given artist, combined them, enlarged them dramatically in analogical steps to allow fractal "breakdown." These I made compositions of and drew in multi-layered and polished black (and grey from the rubbing) drawings and stapled them like a comic in the covers. They were always exhibited as a group, which appeared to be geometric abstraction, but revealed the main artworks, when opened.
