Carlos Ezquerra's Johnny Alpha is the most passive-aggressive act in British comics.
Anyone who's ever tried to draw Johnny Alpha's helmet soon realises the only solution is to copy a Carlos drawing. Copy it *exactly*.
Then you realise the way you've drawn Alpha, which looked alright before, looks stupid with the Carlos helmet on his head. So you copy the way Carlos draws Alpha. Copy it *exactly*.
Then you realise the whole thing doesn't work unless it's inked the way Carlos does it. So you copy it *exactly*.
You soon realise it's quicker, easier and cheaper just to pay Ezquerra to draw the fucking thing himself.
* Then you realise you have to put a Viking in there, too, and try not to make that look stupid.
