Even back then Jae Lee was critically acclaimed. People ate that poo poo up.

I know I did. When I was sixteen, I self-published what can only be described as a 90s-fueled disaster of a comic that was a horrifying combo of Jae Lee's method of drawing clothing and Todd McFarlanes chewing gum faces. It was... very bad.

As for Lee, his early stuff was basically a weird knock off of Sienkiewicz's funkiest anatomy and Bisley's love of hair and veins:



Part way through his incomprehensible "Hellshock" series at Image, he dropped a lot of that and moved into his own "cleaner" style and mostly stuck with it from there.

:laffo: I know the reputation the 90s have but Blanka-Namor is unbelievable. What was the premise of this anyways? Why is he now so freakishly huge?!

Because Simon Bisley (sort of) drew veiny weirdos like that and Jae Lee (who was like 20 at the time) really liked Bisley:



The main difference is that Bisley wasn't drawing Namor, a lithe character who's supposed to be elegant and regal, not crazy and hairy.

Though I suppose an alternate explanation would be that Namor is experiencing a MASSIVE case of the bends and his circulatory system is LITERALLY EXPLODING when exposed to the lower pressure of the surface world.

It didn't help that Peter David was angry about having to write three issues of X-Factor mostly featuring people who weren't on X-Factor.

I suspect the reason Cap is screaming is that he appears to have pulled every muscle in his back at once.

He's using the shield's shiny inner surface to check if he's got anything stuck in his teeth.

Adam Pollina:

quote:

Early in his career, Pollina worked for Friendly Comics, an adult comics publisher owned by pornographer and ferret advocate Eric Shefferman. While at Friendly, Pollina provided pencils for the popular Sex Trek series, an adult parody of Star Trek featuring characters named "Jism T. Cock" and "Jean-Luc Prickhard."

Pollina began to pencil X-Force in 1995 with #44 and continued as regular penciller until #81 in 1998. In 1996 he drew the four-issue limited series Rise of Apocalypse, again for Marvel.

Pornographic ferret advocacy was HUGE in the 90s.

I actually liked Adam Pollina's X-Force stuff. Yes, it's very Sam Keith-y and could get really sloppy and ugly, but he could also do some pretty cool stuff.

The same artist did Marvel Knights: Spider-Man which is just spider-man having a weird acid trip or something for five issues.
