Quote for the truth, man.

Although I wouldn't considered Hellboy's art to be "ugly". Its very well developed, and very consistent from what I have seem. However, I think art is vital, but good art depends on how it works with the story, since the point is to tell a story through visual medium, and if the art doesn't work or suck really bad, it essentially have no narrative value, you might as well read the novel.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
