Rodney M. Ruth (1912 — 1987) est un illustrateur états-unien qui n’a pas vraiment laissé une trace marquante. Il a travaillé dans les comics, la science fiction et beaucoup de jeunesse. Mais le talent graphique ne fait pas tout lorsqu’il s’agit de dessiner des monstres.
Rod Ruth montre alors une inspiration et un sens du grotesque remarquables et qui méritent de figurer sur ce blog et son style un peu daté rajoute un charme indéniable – une espèce de nostalgie d’un monde artistique plus inventif et moins référencé.

Un grotesque soluble dans les E.C comics à la Wrightson,Steve Gerber etc?…Tes légendes me ravissent.
Dans les images noir et blanc, on voit bien les inspirations des magazines SF (où il a un peu travaillé). Mais pour les couleurs, il y a un côté générique et néanmoins marquant (comme certains illustrateurs de monstres japonais) qui me réjouit.
Les légendes, ça demande du boulot, c’est pour ça qu’il n’y en a pas toujours.
La couverture de ”Lent” de Jo Walton(je surveille la sortie en français) pourrait faire partie de ces monstruosités.
Je n’ai rien lu de Walton et je me fierai à ton jugement.
