However… passion project or not… Muth’s approach to this seems to be to take photos and then… treating them? Somehow? Or has he just painted over pictures? When he goes all washed-out here it looks rather nice. I’m listening to it now (and the Steve Niles assemblage on the back), and it’s… It’s not bad.

There’s even a flexi assembled by Muth combining Lang whistling and an orchestra playing the Grieg leitmotif from the film. Muth hadn’t previously published anything through Eclipse, but given the subject matter and where Eclipse was at at the time, it makes sense. Jon J Muth was, at the time, a “name” artist who had mostly worked at Marvel Comics, and is perhaps most fondly remembered for his collaboration with J.

Stillwater is a wise panda who offers guidance and teaches valuable life lessons.Eclipse had hit upon a new winning formula: Fully-painted “prestige format” squarebound 48 page comics adaptations of famous stuff: The Hobbit, the Clive Barker Books, James Bond… So why not the Fritz Lang version of Thea von Harbou’s M? It’s public domain, even, so Eclipse didn’t even have to pay for the rights. Michael is the youngest and often feels left out because his older siblings tend to exclude him. Karl is the oldest and takes on the role of the responsible big brother.Īddy is the middle child who has a nurturing and caring personality. The main characters in Stillwater include the three siblings, Karl, Addy, and Michael, who live next door to Stillwater. Stillwater’s guidance teaches them how to cope with new challenges such as dealing with their own emotions, finding solutions to problems, and discovering the beauty of nature. In season three, the siblings continue to learn valuable life lessons with the help of their furry neighbor. Stillwater is based on the Zen Shorts series by Jon J Muth and features the voices of James Sie (Stillwater), Eva Ariel Binder (Addy), Tucker Chandler (Michael), and Judah Mackey (Karl).
