Is the ghost head actually in the scene with him, hovering like an off-model Frylock?

Man, is there anything more depressing than a revered creator from the Classic Times trying to come back and do comics in the present day? Has that ever turned out well? Even JRJR who never left, has worked pretty continuously since the 80s and he's getting pretty painful to look at these days.

For Neil and JRJr, it's definitely working out. Scott Snyder's upcoming Batman series is basically a showcase for neato artists, and kicks off with Romita. Adams is given these ridiculous miniseries to play around in and be bonkers, and both have had variant months dedicated to them. Marv Wolfman, George Perez and Rob Liefeld had a much harder time as the old school hires back at the beginning of the N52. e: That's to say nothing of how the stuff looks. Tastes vary, but I love seeing old man Adams' kooky poo poo out there. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 04:43 on Jun 8, 2016 |

I think Howard Chaykin might have been the best artist of the '80s, but sadly, he's older and his stuff isn't as good as it used to be. And even if Frank Miller hadn't gone crazy, his art has taken a major turn for the worse. I think the old-school creator who is still the most "with it," who has changed with the times, stayed relevant and good, works steadily, and never burned any bridges, is Keith Giffen.

Chaykin is aware his style has changed considerably in the last 20 years, he just doesn't seem to care. And the new artist on GA is excellent.

Joe Kubert had been banging out great work till the end. Moebius went full digital late in life and remained the greatest (last Arzach volume). Richard Corben is 75 and still great, I even prefer his work with Dave Stewart to the airbrush days of DEN.

Sienkiewicz was born May 3, 1958, in Blakely, Pennsylvania.[1] When he was five years old, he moved with his family to Hainesville, New Jersey, where he attended elementary and secondary school.[4]

Let's get some art up in here. Starman v2 #20. Jack Knight is visiting an aged Wesley Dodds, the Sandman of the Golden Age who was a friend of his father Ted, when he finds himself in pursuit of an assassin who corners him. Then, this happens:  Leaving aside the scenario of a young, vital hero with his instrument of power needing to be saved by a geriatric, even the thought of a 90 year old superhero should be risible. But it isn't, somehow. And that's why this is one of my favourite pages in comics.

I loved that page and that whole story, where Jack became friends not only with Wesley Dodds (after a lifetime of thinking the JSA were mostly silly, corny old men), but also his life partner Dian Belmont, who was already one of Jack's favorite writers. And at the end, the gift they gave him was so generous and meaningful, it was really touching. Starman made me cry more different times than all other comics put together. I got to meet Tony Harris at a convention last month, and I told him how much that book meant to me, especially when it was the only constant in my life from 10th grade to graduate school.

AV Club has a cool interview with an award winning colorist: http://www.avclub.com/article/comics-colorist-jordie-bellaire-art-coloring-and-s-238558 Pretty neat reading about an often untalked about aspect of the medium and I really like seeing the before and after images.

Yeah his style has changed for the worse since his glory days no question, but compare Chaykin's full-on "gently caress off Marvel and DC, pay me" period of t-rex arms Wolverine to something like Satellite Sam (being in black and white helps too) and it's clear that he's still got talent. It's not Empire or American Flagg but it's good (even if it's stereotypical Chaykin with the subject matter) His Buck Rogers reboot was energetic as well, I could tell that despite drawing it in his new style he gave a poo poo about the subject matter. I was reading the early pages in this thread a minute ago, funny how poo poo loops around. Combined with the above discussion I figure I should post some Classic Good Chaykin:         I dunno if it's true that his crap work is because he just needed some cash and took work from Marvel and DC despite really not wanting to do it or not, but the guy has really damaged his reputation and it's a huge shame.
