I'm not offended, I saw people bitching on FB and found it amusing. No wait, I am offended by the lovely art.

Making Deadpool look ridiculously attractive except blotchy sort of undermines his character, doesn't it?

My one real gripe with the movie was that he looked too pretty after the treatment. Hell, that Iraqi vet guy who had his face burned off still got married to his highschool sweetheart.

At least they tried  My main point was that he just wasn't as ugly as he should have been. I had a great uncle who almost looked that bad just from a life working on a farm out in the sun each day.

Hope this is the right thread for this. Around 2013-2014 I took a real interest in reading and collecting comics and being from the UK I had easy access to 2000 AD's prog and through that I bought up older back issues and stuff. Came across a trove of comics in my cupboard, some progs/megazine and some US comics ranging from the mid 80s to the mid 2000s.  Any interest in me digging through these and sharing some of the best/worst stuff I can find? Not to open with a showstopper but fresh outta 1987 is the first issue of Grant Morrison's Zenith.

Got distracted, finally uploaded these. I went through the '87 pile first because it's a short run and all Pretty Much Good so there's nothing too groundbreaking but these are some highlights. From 2000AD Progs 535 - 542 (circa August-November 1987) featuring the first part of Grant Morrison's Zenith among the usual suspects, Dredd, Strontium Dog, Rogue Trooper and various Future Shocks. Pictures aren't as good as the next batch will be, didn't realize my phone wasn't taking full res pics earlier. I'll probably switch to my real camera to get other photos. Groovy, man...     I get a bit of a Phil Noto vibe from that last one.The Prog and 2000AD in general have always had some zany art, and it's so varietous because of the anthology format. One of the reasons I love(d) collecting them.  Though this was a cool aside.  This is what piqued my interest. I don't know much about Manga to be honest, but I've always gotten this sort of manga vibe from early Strontium Dog comics.

The first Zenith cover you posted was a Dillon, but Zenith marked the debut of Steve Yeowell, who went on to illustrate The Invisibles. The Noto-esque page is hard to source as the issue was credited to K Edwards but it's known to be a collaboration between Will Simpson, Gary Leach and Dave Elliot. It doesn't look much like Leach or Simpson, so I'm guessing it's Elliot. quote:The Prog and 2000AD in general have always had some zany art, and it's so varietous because of the anthology format. One of the reasons I love(d) collecting them. That's John Hicklenton, whose art I never liked - especially as it came immediately after Bryan Talbot's run on Nemesis. Hicklenton went to Dignitas to die in 2010 after a ten year struggle with multiple sclerosis. quote:This is what piqued my interest. I don't know much about Manga to be honest, but I've always gotten this sort of manga vibe from early Strontium Dog comics. Weird, I've never had a manga vibe from Strontium Dog or Colin MacNeil. That story was the first time anyone other than Carlos Ezquerra had drawn the strip in 2000AD and MacNeil was very much trying to imitate Ezquerra, which is why his style is somewhat off.

I think there's maybe a kinda sorta Fist of the North Star vibe to some of it.

In hindsight I should have at least given details of the artists provided I had the info but the extent of my artist knowledge is sort of mid 2013-2014 DC and Marvel comic runs when I was really collecting so I wasn't thinking of going into detail about them. In the future I'll provide credit where I can find it, but it's probably best left to someone like you who knows their stuff to actually talk about it! :P Re: strontium dog, granted I haven't read a lot of it yet (caught it now and then when I picked up progs that featured it) maybe my memory is just cloudy. I'm not about to say you're wrong. That said, I still get a strong manga-like vibe from those panels I posted. Something about the shading, the white-out eyes and that silhouette.

Well, the eyes are specific to Johnny Alpha; they're his mutation.  This is what MacNeil looks like when he's not trying to be Super Squirrel (and when he's allowed to paint):

MacNeil and Kev Walker were easily the best of 2000AD's "fully painted" artists, but I'm guessing that the sheer amount of time and work needed to do each page is the reason they both changed their style back to coloured lineart. (Phone posting, or I'd stick up some of Walker's ABC Warriors paintwork.)

Carl Killer Miller posted:Please keep posting You asked for it! Some highlights from Devlin Waugh - Swimming In Blood. I really suggest y'all check out some Devlin Waugh stuff because it's hilarious and great. He's ostensibly a Olympic body building homosexual vampire who hunts down dastardly things. He was made to fly in the face of the Judge Dredd types that 2000AD were inundated with - though he does live in Judge Dredd's universe. A fitting introduction...   His never relenting campness is a huge part of his dialog, and he's very well spoken...   Some great art throughout...     If you'd like to read more about this particular book...  My favourite panel, it pretty much says everything you need to know about Devlin...
