Now, he shows that what he is doing is little more than tracing pictures. Did Alex Raymond trace...of course not! Therefore, I'm not sure what the excitiment is over Sim's work. He is not recreating an art style but selling traced drawings. I'd also be interested in the copyright implications - I don't think I saw an attributes to the photographers. So, Sim rips off other artists, mentally masturbates on theories of comic art (sounding sophisticated while stating the obvious) and throws in gratuitous hatefull comments towards women. Now what's the interest here in the comic again? There is an interesting UTube video you can find where Sim demonstrates his drawing process.

But the best part of #5 was the Porsche spread. The spinning rear wheel, the reflection in the door, and the surprise Cerebus cameo. Thanks for posting it.

Yes, his mysoginism is problematic, but he is also one of the top comic book artists of all time. It is a pleasure to see him do this book, and I truly hope he keeps on doing it. Sim is what he is.
