Supreme Serpent Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Re: Who are your favourite Superhero Artists? While I haven't really seen their work in superhero comics as far as I know, I'll have to give a HERO thumbs up to Storn Cook and the late Mark Williams as well.

Lord Mhoram Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Re: Who are your favourite Superhero Artists? Moebius (Silver Surfer) You have to set an example even in the face of stupidity. Everybody who reads comic books knows that the Kirby Silver Surfer is the only true Silver Surfer. Now am I right or wrong? :D:D:D Just funnin' with ya. Moebius stuff is great.

Hugh Neilson Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Re: Who are your favourite Superhero Artists? Looking at the thread title, I'll have to say Green Lantern Kyle Rayner and Colossus. Steve Rogers was a commercial illustrator for a while, but it never really stuck as a facet of his character. What?? Oh, you meant real-world people who draw Superheros? Never mind then!

Plex Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Re: Who are your favourite Superhero Artists? :D:D:D Just funnin' with ya. Moebius stuff is great. Hunter: Rivetti, what's up? Petty Officer First Class Danny Rivetti: I'm sorry, Sir. It's just a difference of opinion that got out of hand. Hunter: What about? Petty Officer First Class Danny Rivetti: It's really too silly to talk about, Sir. I'd really just forget about... Hunter: I don't give a damn about what you'd rather forget about. Why were you two fighting? Petty Officer First Class Danny Rivetti: I said, the Kirby Silver Surfer was the only real Silver Surfer. And that the Moebius Silver Surfer was s*&!. And Bennefield's a big Moebius fan. And it got of hand. I pushed him. He pushed me. I lost my head, Sir. I'm Sorry. Hunter: Rivetti, you're a supervisor. You can get a commission like that. [snaps finger] Petty Officer First Class Danny Rivetti: I know, Sir. You're 100 percent right. It will never happen again. Hunter: It better not happen again. If I see this kind of nonsense again, I'm going to write you up. You understand? Petty Officer First Class Danny Rivetti: [No answer] Hunter: Do you understand? Petty Officer First Class Danny Rivetti: Yes, Sir. Hunter: You have to set an example even in the face of stupidity. Everybody who reads comic books knows that the Kirby Silver Surfer is the only true Silver Surfer. Now am I right or wrong? Petty Officer First Class Danny Rivetti: You're right, Sir. Hunter: Now get out of here. Petty Officer First Class Danny Rivetti: Yes, Sir. Obviously Rivetti, Hunter, and Bennefield are all correct in their opinions....The movie got it wrong...

Jim Starlin (Back in the Warlock/Dreadstar days) And dozens more that aren't leaping to mind currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucleon Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Nucleon now feels polemic... Alex Ross... Realism, bah. Nucleon does not place Alex Ross in His favorite drawers; Althought He admires his poses and textures, Nucleon does like a bit of fantasy in the Comic World, therefore the sight of well-fed men in discoloured costumes with stitches and wrinkles He would appraise as ridicule, like on some sort of All Hallow's Eve. Plus, the guy is definitely average on tech details, like guns. He is good, but more suited to heroic stuff rather than superheroic per se. Still, he makes good covers, mainly if one needs a good facial expression, as to impress the reader to the humanity of the character sort of thing, once in a while. Do you feel as polemic as Nucleon do about Ross? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Neilson Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Re: Nucleon now feels polemic... Nucleon does not place Alex Ross in His favorite drawers I as unaware that Mr. Ross was trying to get into your drawers. Has this been a problem for long?

Chagoth Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Re: Who are your favourite Superhero Artists? George Perez - The King may be dead, but Perez is his rightful heir. Paul Pelletier - I've been following this guy for fifteen years now. From Green Lantern (he was the artist during most of Kyle Rayner's first five(?) years) and Negation to She-Hulk and Exiles. The best at drawing sci-fi based comics. Brandon Peterson - I fell in love with his stuff when he was doing the art for CrossGen's Mystic.

championsguru Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Re: Who are your favourite Superhero Artists? 1. George Perez 2. Jim Starlin 3. Michael Golden 4. Alan Davis 5. John Byrne 6. Phil Jimenez 7. Mike Grell 8. Carlos Pachaco 9. Art Adams 10. Pat Broderick I don't consider Alex Ross a comic artist, he's a painter and his stuff is more fine art than comic art, so though he's not my favorite he's a step above most.

Weldun Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Re: Who are your favourite Superhero Artists? Frank Miller & Alex Ross top my preferences. I also happen to enjoy Stan Sakai's work, although not as often as I would like to. And finally, Kevin Schultz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonblade Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Re: Who are your favourite Superhero Artists?

CrosshairCollie Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Re: Who are your favourite Superhero Artists? To add a few that wouldn't just be repetitive ... Geoff Senior and Andrew Wildman, who drew most of the last 25 issues of the original Transformers (US) series. Angel Medina, who drew about half of the last 20 issues of Dreadstar (under Peter David's excellent writing). Ron Lim, who did some awesome Silver Surfer art back in the day.
