Comic Artist Appreciation: Peach Momoko

 Hello lovely beings


Peach Momoko is a Japanese comic book artist, who immediately caught my eye when I first got truly into reading/collecting comic books. I had a rule where I wasn't allowed to buy any unless I was 100% sure I was going to read them. Quickly broken soon as I came across Peach's watercolors. I think I've truly only read two out of my whole collection πŸ˜…, but I don't intend not to read the rest ever! She's even done album art for the band Tool ✨ 



Reading I Hate Fairyland when I first got into comics probably wasn't the best idea. I was highly distraught that the inner art didn't match the cover, and probably made me a little biased against the storyline. On the other hand, Zawa was an adorable delight to read. I generally skew more spooky, demented, horror when looking for readable media to consume. 

Oop, just remebered I did also read Hello Darkness, so that's a whole THREE comics form my Peach collection that have been read. Nice πŸ‘πŸΌ✨ I adore how she mixes cuteness with nightmarish themes from time to time.

I will never get over how preciously her women of color come out. I was already smitten by how good she is with watercolors, but when I saw the Moon Girl for the first time [the first one I bought] I was in awe. The way she's able to show a beautiful assortment of complexions and different hair types α΅’̴̶̷̥́ ·̫ α΅’̴̶̷̣̥̀
Listen, she draws Magik so adorable for one. It was a MegaCon exclusive for two. Her last two or so variant exclusives sold out AND my close friend was selling it. So $65 doesn't truly feel like too much Ω©(ΛŠα—œΛ‹*)و ♡.

So far from my must read rule at this point TT_TT. I see now that I have also wrongfully left the title of Magik #1 where Gone #1 should be πŸ˜…...I know I still have the time to change it, but I've already typed out the explanation so let's move right along [LOL].

Some of the works I found where she did all the storyline and interior artwork for! She's got her own Momoko-verse where she tells the stories of Marvel characters through Japanese folklore, horror, and the like. Though I have not moved these over to the "read" stack, I do at least know that about these bad boys.

Don't you just wanna hug the Venom! Maybe not as much Miles, but he still looks damn cool.

Do you collect comic books, or anything solely for the purpose of the joy of looking at it?

Thank you for reading

    1. You are more than welcome! Now I wanna see the shelf progress too TT_TT.
      I'm trying my hardest to phase back into just reading online and maybe buying my fav trades or something...but I can't help it when we hit up our fav comic shop LOL! If Peach can't give you a sick venom cover for your shelf, I'd def say Derrick Chew and Dave Rapoza does some really beautifully sick Venom variant arts too!

    2. ooh nice, thanks ! i will check them out too. but i've been looking at my 4 peach momoko favorites for hours now. almost every single seller is from the us and the shipping is crazy ! so i cant really afford to buy all 4. im trying to decide between: all-new venom #4, venom (2021) #1, venom war #5 and extreme venomverse #1. (。•́︿•̀。) maybe you can help me decide heh

    3. Oooo you gave me a tough one! Is there somewhere I can see the shelf? That may help me help you decide LOL! I'm super leaning towards Venom #1 and Venom War #5 though (ΛŠα΅’̴̶̷̤ ꇴ α΅’̴̶̷̤Λ‹)

    4. oh ! sure idk which social media we might have in common because i don't use many, maybe tumblr ? i can dm you a picture ?? its mostly art works tho, it's very bright, fun colors. i was also leaning towards venom war #5 because it looks so sick. but i really love yellow so i keep looking at all-new venom #4

    5. I do indeed have tumblr! I'm @worldofanoctomaid there too lol. Not super present there, but it's still active πŸ˜…! Dang with yellow being your color, you may have picked out the right one from the beginning lol!

    6. ooh nice, let me try and send you an ask or dm with some shelf photos so you can see it, if not to help me choose a cover just because you might be curious at this point hahgaksdgf. i asked a friend too and she said she liked venom #1 the most so she agrees with you on that !
