Since you brought that up, anyone here ever looked at Michael Golden's work? I googled some poo poo and his style seems to have changed but in the mid 80's he had sort of that same, cartoonish weird style. Trying to find a good example of it but coming up empty.

The Punisher #95 (1994)
Pencils/Inks: Frank Teran
Colors: Michael Golden

The couple of issues that Teran illustrated are the only Punisher comics I've kept over the years. I was 15 or 16 when it came out and the owner of my LCS talked me into picking up #94. Hilarious though it may be to see the Punisher in JNCO jeans I remain grateful that I was convinced to check them out, because they're just so visceral and evocative and unlike anything else we were getting during that era.

None of it makes any sense. And I keep looking at it.

The spiky boot is Logan's leg but the way Cyclops' right leg is colored and positioned it looks like Wolverine's and that he's kind of squatting and Scott's leg is the one with the stripes on it. None of this makes any sense.

I keep staring at this thing and what's that energy ball thing on the left hand side?

Who's holding that "gun" that looks like a face?

Is that hair on the guy on the left? I guess the striped leg is his but how is it attached to his body. Who's holding the gun? I guess it's this dude by process of elimination.

How is Scott shooting his blast straight down like that? Why is it so thin?

Why do Logan's claws look like a cat's toenails and how would they retract into his forearms?

Are those Storm's arms there in white or part of her costume? Her legs...?

The gently caress is the person (people?) at the top wearing yellow feather pants? Or is that a fire trail?

Any reason for the X pattern to be almost inseparable from the background?

Why can't I read the word "UNCANNY"?

...

I can't find one good thing in this cover and just keep finding new things that suck. There's NO composition here. It's like 20 different artists drew different parts of everything and then they pasted them all together. Even the coloring is terrible; the yellow in particular.

Uncanny #300 is the first time I recall getting to the shop on new release day and they'd bagged and priced that issue for $10 and they had dozens of copies on the shelf and likely more in back.

I can only conclude that she is not, in fact, holding it, but just happens to be making a fist in front of a pole stuck in the ground behind her.

the sword grip doesn't make sense either unless she's only gripping it with her thumb

guessing the character was fully drawn first and the weapons just kind of stuck in there and the artist was unwilling to redraw the hands

Stunner showed up during Superior Spider-Man, wanting revenge on Spider-Man for killing Doc Ock, not realizing she was actually fighting Ock in Spidey's body. IIRC, Lady Octopus was part of the female Beetle's all-women crime syndicate a few years back.

With Stunner's anatomy, there's at least the excuse that she's literally supposed to represent the unattainable ideal of a woman with horrible self-image issues, created as a hard-light hologram.
Not a good excuse, but it's there nevertheless.
