	The 11th Hour
		Written by Alan Moore, pencilled by Chris Sprouse, letters by Todd Klein.
		The art is handled by Chris Sprouse, one of my favorite in the business.
		Sprouse always delivers, creating beautiful backgrounds, gadgets and machinery for Strong's world -- just take a look and tell me you're not impressed.

	COMICON.com: CHRIS SPROUSE DRAWING IN THE OCEAN
		Artist Chris Sprouse said the discovery "could change the way humanity thinks of itself, but its more likely to destroy humanity entirely." Sounds ominous and something you'd expect from writer Warren Ellis.
		Sprouse wanted his work in this series to be distinctive from his other projects.
		Chris is one of about 3 creators that I will buy anything he does.

	Sequential Tart -- A Comics Industry Web Zine
		Not having been familiar with Sprouse's work before this, I was pleasantly surprised by the consistency and consideration for clean (VERY clean), readable art.
		Chris gives each character recognizable head shapes and individual facial expressions, along with body-language quirks (Grifter flicking his cigarette, Zealot's irritatingly perfect posture, The Weatherman's weary slouch from being summarily beaten by the Aliens) that set this artist apart from the rest.
		Which is what makes the balance of Chris and Kevin so surprising: I couldn't tell this was Kevin except in one or two facial expressions and one hallway scene.

	Tom Strong, Book One TPB Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		Alan Moore and his co-creators, especially penciler Chris Sprouse, are to be congratulated for creating a mythos equal to or greater than the greatest comic book superheroes created in the past six decades.
		Chris Sprouse is proven here to be one of the best comics artists alive today.
		I don't know if the guest artists such as Gibbons and Adams were a part of the plan all along or were brought in to provide Sprouse with a little breathing room.

	Quantum Zone - Behind the Scenes
		Chris Sprouse: I had been drawing Supreme with Alan for about six months, and when that went bust, I called him to tell him how much I enjoyed working on that particular book.
		Sprouse: In our initial discussions about Tom Strong, Alan asked me what I enjoyed drawing, what I've always wanted to draw, and what my favorite comics were.
		Sprouse: Alan writes incredibly dense, detailed full scripts (which are incredibly fun to read--I consider it one of the perks of the job).

		The first half, with Chris Sprouse penciling the main narrative and Rick Veitch drawing the flashback stories, are easily the strongest contributions to the book.
		Sprouse's pencils (along with Al Gordon's inks) provide a gorgeous iconic look for Supreme, with strong jawlines and regal expressions on faces.
		Sprouse has always shown a good eye for page composition, and it's easy to see why Sprouse's "modern classic" style made him Moore's choice as the primary artist for Tom Strong.

	Tom Strong #15 (ADD Review)
		Enough issues have featured "guest segments," that one suspects Sprouse may be unable to keep up a monthly schedule, but it matters not.
		Moore has proven adept at crafting his scripts to the strengths and interests of his artists in his decades in comics, and my favourite issues of Tom Strong, I'm trying to say, are the ones drawn completely by Chris Sprouse.
		Chris Sprouse appears to be penciling the entire thing.

	Movie Poop Shoot - Breakdowns
		Sprouse does excellent renditions of the President and First Lady, and his Supreme is, well, supreme, bulky but not overly muscled.
		He clearly has studied Sprouse, for the face and hairline are more like Sprouse's rendition than the way Liefeld drew the character before.
		I won't even be checking email (no, I'm not honeymooning with Chris Ryall, but congratulations, buddy!), but will be reading a lot, so feel free to mail stuff if you don't necessarily need it reviewed immediately.

	Tom Strong Book 2 - Alan Moore, Chris Sprouse, Alan Gordon - Graphic novel review
		If, like us, the main thing that bugged you about the first collected Tom Strong book was the supposed comedic support offered by the bickering between Strong's robotic manservant and hyper-intelligent gorilla side-kick, you'll be pleased to hear they take a backseat in this second collection.
		The pacing of the book is varied, with some chapters enclosing as many as three independently produced stories (in a Tomorrow Stories sort of way), while others, like the Tom Strange adventure, spans two chapters on its own.
		This also allows different artists in on the game, though Chris Sprouse and Alan Gordon still get the lion's share of the work and that's almost certainly for the best, though the vignettes illustrated by the other artists are still of interest.

		Chris Sprouse is by far the best of the lot.
		Sprouse is second only to Dave Gibbons in drawing facial expressions and clean panels.

	Past Reviews
		The art in this issue is wonderful as always.
		Chris Sprouse's work has very clean lines and some wonderfully subtle effects (look at the swamp mists on page 3).
		I'm not crazy about Jerry Ordway's artwork for the 'Untold' portion of the story, but it does set it apart as a piece of history.

		The past couple of issues of this title have been less than spectacular; I chalk it up to the guest artists that have been brought in, presumably to cut Chris Sprouse some slack.
		Sprouse is back for the entire issue here, and it's one of the strongest issues yet.
		Sprouse's pencil work is among the best in superhero comics today, with a consistency, energy, and deceptive simplicity that any beginning artist would do well to study.

	Public Square 03 - Flogging the Clintons in Supreme (Sep 2000)
		Korgo challenges President Clinton to a duel for the right to rule the United States; and, when Clinton fails to best him in a physical contest (what would you expect, really?), Korgo claims both the Oval Office and the First Lady as the spoils of conquest.
		As Sprouse and Moore depict the scene, however, the President fails to come off as anything other than "ridiculous," as helpless and hopeless as the Oliphant caricature of President George Bush (usually seen carrying a purse).
		If nothing here would greatly offend a Clinton partisan, nothing here would alienate his most passionate detractors, either.

		The plot: Sophisticated scientific techniques and a unique life history create Tom Strong, a 100-year old adventurer with a century's worth of adventures and enemies.
		Tom Strong: Book One absolutely represents the pinnacle of superhero/adventure comics.
		That's what's collected in this handsomely produced hardcover volume, the first seven issues of what represents, to my way of thinking, the apotheosis of Alan Moore as a storyteller.
