Patrick Hamilton

    17. marec 1904 – 23. september 1962

    Tento autor zachytil pulzujúcu, no často drsnú realitu Londýna medzivojnového obdobia a neskôr. Jeho diela, často inšpirované osobnými skúsenosťami, skúmajú témy spoločenských priepastí, morálneho úpadku a rastúceho sklamania z moderného života, najmä z dehumanizujúceho vplyvu motorizmu a kapitalizmu. S rastúcim politickým presvedčením sa jeho písanie stalo prenikavejším a kritickejším k spoločenským nerovnostiam. V neskorších rokoch jeho diela nadobudli temnejší, cynickejší tón, odrážajúci jeho vlastné sklamanie, no zároveň si zachovali pôsobivú silu v opise ľudskej povahy.

      Though George Perez’s style is highly recognizable, his contributions to comic art and history have not been fully acknowledged. Patrick Hamilton addresses this neglect, by discussing Perez’s artistic style within the context of Bronze Age superhero art, and by analysing Perez’s work for its representations of race, disability, and gender.
