I think Bill Sienkiewicz was the first guy I ever really saw do that in an interesting or successful way; the patterned clothes rendered independent of anatomy or perspective like that. I kind of dig it actually.

Agreed. It's like Aragones doing Hieronymus Bosch with just a hint of ukiyo-e stylization.

Yeah, I checked it out and it's extremely my poo poo. I've always had a thing for complex demonological hierarchies and angelic bureaucracies so the subject is great for me. Also, good lord, the art. It's like a cross between Wayne Barlowe and Mobius, and his attention to detail is insane. Great character design, and he does motion and action very well. I'm astonished he's an amateur.

That's by Terry Patrick, who along with Ron Embleton and Jim Bleach pretty much defined the style of British boys action comics in the period between the Hampson/Lawrence era and the rise of Carlos Ezquerra in the mid-70s.

My guess is he's a war baby so he's likely the product of some ungodly merging of American GI/Stout British Woman genes.

Trimpe was totally solid back in the day. It's when he tried aping Rob Liefeld and Jim Lee in the '90s that he went off the rails.

I think his cape work in the 60s for Marvel was pretty bad. I think maybe it’s because Trimpe was always aping styles. He’s got kind of a Kirby attitude towards perspective and consistency (ie. he often ignores it), without the talent to back it up.

I first encountered Trimpe's work in the old Shogun Warriors comic and the way he drew machinery was totally Kirby-swiped (krackles and all), but he drew faces and people in a more Sal Buscema-ish style.

Sometimes.



And then sometimes he does stuff like this.



These are all from Hulk 139. This page really gets me, because it's kind of Trimpe in a nutshell... close to being interesting, but without the technical chops to really deliver on the premise.



In the reading order the books shortly after this include some Neal Adams work (Amazing Adventure #5). Goddamn was that guy in another class altogether.

Same. Never liked his work at all. He had some Kirby in him and was a decent story teller but there was no flash or spark to what he did. It felt "by the numbers", unpolished and kind of generic, lacking a certain dynamic quality. Your description of his stuff is spot on. He seemed like a by the numbers assembly line comic book artist and nothing he did ever really stood out.

A flashy or dynamic inker like Klaus Janson or Joe Sinnott might have brought out the promise of his general layouts, which overall were fine, just kind of dull.

Aping Liefeld only bears this out. He was like the ultimate house artist. I think they had him ape Kirby, then Buscema and, I guess Liefeld. Never seen the Liefeld/Trimpe style and I'm g;ad because, Jesus Christ, that sounds awful.

can someone post some examples? Google is failing me.
