Lord Mhoram Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Re: Who are your favourite Superhero Artists? I don't really follow artist all that much, but looking up the art for stuff that I liked. George Perez. Alex Ross Brent Anderson (these three I didn't have to look up, I knew them ) Jeff Johnson - and that just for Way of the Rat - he drew actually correct martial arts stances and moves, and one move followed another logically. The only time I have even seen martial arts depicted anything close to accurately in comics. Brian Hitch. John Cassaday (I loved the art in Planetary) That is about it. I generally like fairly realistic artwork, stuff that isn't too stylized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Serpent Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Re: Who are your favourite Superhero Artists? George Perez. http://www.comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=810 He and Byrne really define for me how super comics "should" look. John Byrne. Mostly the older stuff. His later stuff may be more technically proficient, but just doesn't feel as cool, and his inking on his own stuff feels a little thick to me. http://www.comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=361 vs http://www.comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=13656 Rest in no real order: Mark Bagley. Esp. like his tech stuff, battlesuits and the like. http://www.comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=13778 Alan Davis. http://www.comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=17709 Andrea DiVito. http://www.comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=18236 Steve Ditko. For the early Spider-Man work and those crazy Dr. Strange landscapes. http://www.comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=22387 Tom Grummett. http://www.comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=11165 Phil Jimenez. Looks like he tries to be Perez, which I have no problem with. http://www.comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=3451 Carlos Pacheco. http://www.comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=3545 John Romita, Jr. Sometimes hit or miss for me, but overall like his work. Plus some honorable mentions. Norm Breyfogle. Not sure how I'd like him on other stuff, but was great for Batman. http://www.comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=237 Walter Simonson. Again, not my fave for other stuff, but was awesome for Thor. Mike Zeck. http://www.comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=19546 Michael Golden Jim Starlin Jack Kirby - great storytelling, but generally prefer to look at his successors. Probably others can't think of at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven Walkur Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Re: Who are your favourite Superhero Artists? There are a great many comicbook artists of all periods that I love, from Mike Grell, Curt Swan and Dave Cockrum to Jeff & Phil Moy and Frank Cho. I like Bill Sink-o-witz (phonetic here because I can't spell his last name), Rob Liefield, Paul Johnson and Alex Ross. And the list goes on. But something I've learned to bear in mind is that even my favorite artists can hit a bad patch. Then how much you love their work will determine how quickly you can forgive them...and sometimes it's not a direct correlation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casualplayer Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Re: Who are your favourite Superhero Artists? There are a few artists that I will buy their stuff just from seeing their names attached to the project: Alan Davis Mike Grell Tim Truman Kyle Baker Bill Willingham Jim Cassaday Phil Jimenez George Perez Eduardo Rizzo Carlos Pacheco Brent Anderson John Buscema, when he still strode this world beneath his sandalled feet Those are the ones who can have my money no matter what project because they do not disappoint.

clsage Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Re: Who are your favourite Superhero Artists? Ok, since it goes without saying that Kirby and Ross have to be on the list, I'll buck the trend of other names already mentioned and, since he has yet to be named I'll add: Michael Turner.... -Carl- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
