Art| Brian Calvin's "Still" Exhibit Is The Latest Allure at Palazzo Cavanis

Cubist-enthusiastic artist Brian Calvin surfaces with a portrait exhibit stationed at Palazzo Cavanis for his first solo exhibition in Venice dubbed “Still“. A sight to see for sure, this eye-ear-nose themed delivery of vibrant colors adorned on images of women luring viewers in with their apathetic gaze. Calvin’s pieces a yet another great presentation of his ability to provide subject without…

I gotta say, this last panel from a nightmare sequence in Calvin & Hobbes, where Miss Wormwood spontaneously transforms into an alien monster as she maniacally pours gasoline onto Calvin right next to his burning homework paper, always freaked me out growing up!

Giving me some serious flashbacks to that scene of Peter suddenly transforming into Venom from Ultimate Spider-Man!

Honestly why didn’t I discover comics sooner?

I mean, I’ve loved Calvin and Hobbes since I could read, but I didn’t discover the rest of what comics had to offer until I was an adult. No one told me how fun they are!

CHAPEL

Written by Brian Witten & Eric Stephenson Drawn by Tom Tenny & Calvin Irving Published by Image Comics

The character of Chapel is a standard Big Muscular Soldier With Lots of Guns that Rob Liefeld is known for, making his debut in the very first issue of Youngblood, the series that launched Image Comics. He was former U.S. soldier and CIA operative named Bruce Stinson who was recruited onto the first Youngblood team and given the codename Chapel (I don't think it was ever explained what the name is supposed to mean). His distinguishing characteristics are that he’s a Black man, and he wore face paint of a white skull on his face. In an early synergistic connection of the burgeoning Image Comics Universe, it was eventually revealed that Chapel was the man who murdered Al Simmons, who then came back as Todd McFarlane’s Spawn. When Spawn finally remembered that, he tracked down Chapel looking for revenge, but instead of killing him he burned the paint on Chapel’s face, now giving him a permanent skull-face (the implication is that this would make Chapel, who was a notorious womanizer in her personal life, look like a freak and that would scare women away from him, which is something that would be worse than death for a man like him).

I'll note that when the character appeared in the 1997 Spawn animated series he was named Jess Chapel. Chapel was also revealed to have HIV (which was purposely injected in him by his old boss, Jason Wynn, another character from Todd McFarlane's Spawn series), which got him removed from Youngblood and sent to the covert ops Bloodstrike team.

This two-part series, published in February 1995, takes place during that time, as Chapel is alone and feeling like his life is spiraling out of control, and he flashes back to a mission he had when he was still a U.S. Government soldier.

It’s 1983, Chapel leads a handpicked squad of soldiers to Nicaragua, where they’ve been sent to assassin a man identified only as Col. Black, said to have been a former U.S. ally who’s gone rogue and set himself up as some kind of warlord. We’re introduced to his team of six soldiers but even though Chapel notes the specific skills of each one (one is a martial arts expert, one speaks multiple languages, etc.), it’s pretty clear that these guys are basically red shirts, just there to further Chapel’s story. The only notable thing about any of them is that one is named Billy Zane and one is named Jet Li. The team lands in the jungle where they immediately encounter some of Black’s soldiers and a massive gunfight ensues, which Chapel and his team win. But Chapel has noted that there were rumors of Col. Black engaging in voodoo and necromancy, and he sees evidence of that when one of the dead soldiers speaks to him after Chapel killed him. The team continues exploring the jungle, cutting through a lake where Chapel is suddenly dragged underwater by a giant anaconda.

In issue number two, which came out a month later, Chapel of course survives the anaconda attack, and the team makes it to a local village where they see that all of the villagers had been slaughtered and had their hearts ripped out. Even Chapel is outraged at the loss of all those innocent civilians and is determined to make Col. Black pay for them. They then get attacked and surrounded by another batch of soldiers, but these are zombies, making them extra difficult to “kill.” Most of Chapel’s team gets killed (like I said: redshirts) and this leads to Chapel’s one-on-one showdown with Col. Black, who does turn out to possess demonic powers.

This series is heavy on action, and lots of brutal gun violence, ably illustrated by Tom Tenny and Calvin Irving in the first issue and just by Irving in the second issue. It’s like a Rambo movie on paper. The story itself shows that Chapel is not the unfeeling brute that he often appeared to be, through the anger he felt at the deaths of the villagers and his team members, plus at one point he admits to himself that he’s scared. He also shows intelligence in figuring out how to defeat Col. Black. Thus it's an entertaining little series for what it is.

Unfortunately, the series is long out-of-print and not available for sale digitally, but I'd recommend tracking down copies if you're a fan of Rob Liefeld's Extreme Universe characters. Chapel (02/1995 1st Series) comic books 1990-1999
