Synopsis "Omnibus: Coming of Age Out West in the Early 20th Century"

When Elizabeth Chambers was born in San Jose in 1900, half a century after the Gold Rush, there were fewer than one and a half million residents in California, nearly half of them in the San Francisco Bay Area. Today's California, with nearly forty million residents, is a very different place. In 1900, electricity and indoor plumbing were replacing candles, gas lamps, and outdoor privies. The Central Pacific Railroad had shaped the state's development, as towns sprang up around train routes; during her lifetime, the automobile would reshape the state's development. Omnibus is a portrait of my grandmother, descended from westward migrating pioneer Americans, who grew up in the Bay Area. This memoir was written for her three children, who knew her as a mother, to let them know about her childhood, and about the mothers and fathers from whom we are all descended.

Mark Farmer is a renowned British comic book inker, known for his close collaboration with artist Alan Davis and for his work on iconic titles from Marvel and DC Comics. Throughout his career, Farmer has developed a clean and expressive style that perfectly complements the dynamic lines of the artists he works with, bringing clarity and depth to each panel.

In Animal Man (DC Omnibus), Farmer participated as an inker in some stories during the post-Grant Morrison era, when Peter Milligan took over the script. His work on this series helped bring to life the more psychological, dark, and experimental approach that characterized this phase, contributing to consolidating the unsettling and emotionally intense atmosphere that defined this stage of the character.

In addition to Animal Man, Mark Farmer has been acclaimed for his work on comics such as Excalibur, Captain Britain, Justice League, and The Avengers. His enduring collaboration with Alan Davis has produced some of the most visually striking works of modern comics. Farmer remains an influential and respected figure in the industry, noted for his technical precision and his ability to enhance the art of his colleagues with elegance and solidity.
