Wow, I really love the way he expresses motion and action. Its almost like looking at a Ghibli work in print form. Actually, scratch the almost.

Moebius and Miazaki did an exhibit together and there is lots of shared admiration between them. Here's a pretty cool little interview with them both.




Speaking of motion and action the bottom panel of this from Miazaki's Nausicaa manga might be my favorite single panel ever.

I hope that it's not too anime, I usually just browse BSS, but this is a cool thread and I love both Miazaki and Moebius so I thought it would be appropriate.

This isn't a gif of a scene from an anime, it's a gif of sequential pages from the hilarious and wonderful comic Onepunch Man.

A guy trains to become stronger and be a hero; accidentally becomes the strongest in the world, ever. (and his hair falls out). Read more here.

No idea where this is from, just some 70's girl's manga.


I really like panels and pages that show motion. :shobon:




And just so I'm not anime-ing up the place too badly.

Mike Dringenberg from Sandman Season of Mists


Even though the art is all over the place throughout the book, I still love J O'Barr's original Crow comic.

Seems to be by Kazuo Umezu according to Google Image search that points to this Amazon.jp page. The only thing by him that I've seen before is Cat Eyed Boy, but he is a horror artist/writer so yeah.

Aha! The page I found it on had it among a whole bunch of vintage shoujo (girl's) stuff, so that's what I went with.

A friend of mine was posting about how his kid wanted to have lego Spider-man marry lego Venom and said he was against it because heroes shouldn't marry villains. I couldn't remember if Venom was still a bad guy, or had maybe reformed so I was googling around and...

DEAR GOD :stonk:


Who could look at that and think "drat that's a fine Venom(ette)"?

What the gently caress is this poo poo Marvel? Thanks for taking one of your few female characters that has a classy costume and making her into jerk fodder for anime nerds!


poo poo that is right up there with Ghost in the Shell creator Masamune Shirow's more recent stuff. Ugh.
Speaking of him, those Phoenix covers do look fairly similar to the Dark Horse release of GitS:Man Machine Interface which came out roughly around that same time. I assume they were trying to grab the same audience.




e: timg-ing everything, since they are pictures of anime ladies in next-to-nothing.

Those pages by Shirow, while they're sexualized anime stuff, at least they're well-crafted.
e: well, better than the Kinnaird stuff, the Shirow pages above are compositionally terrible and there's some lovely low effort coloring going on but at least the anatomy pretty is good by anime standards
well if you discount the boobs hanging upwards I guess
gently caress anime ugh

Shirow has done good work, and possibly still has some more in him--though I'm increasingly doubtful about that. MMI for the most part isn't good work and is almost entirely about drawing the balloon-bodied and CGI-shaded characters in increasingly compromising positions and a nonsensical plot.

But, go back a few years more and you can see some decent stuff. For example this cover for one of the original Ghost in the Shell manga volumes:

I was just about to say that that dude looked like he was doing some bizarre amalgamation of 2000 era Masamune Shirow and Bruce Timm.

That actually pretty much nails it.

aaaa He drew Yoko from Gurren Lagann, this dude has a knack for taking what are already overly fanservicey/cheesecake characters and making them even worse; that image search Flesh Forge linked is chock full of examples.

I guess he saw a certain famous masterpiece by Greg Land and thought this would be a good homage:


Hey Shirow did one of those too!
Even more :nws: than normal:

And so I'm not just endlessly bitching about him, here's a couple of his older covers that I actually like. They are still very stylized and aren't without their problems, but I like them a lot more than the overly glossy, overstuffed sausage look of his newer work.


The anatomy is handled better and the colors are way nicer. I do tend to not be a fan of digital coloring in general though.

I kind of like his take on the Hulk; he does huge and pissed off pretty well. Pitt is just so...spikey and chainy and toothy.

Sometimes vintage girls' manga gets a little carried away with eyes and the sparkling thereof.

What is this from? The kid in the shell looks like something from Osamu Tezuka, but I can't place the rest of it.

The blog I found it on (here) only has Fantasy World Jun, Shotaro Ishinomori c. 1977 which eventually led me to this "Ishinomori's art is reminiscent of that of his mentor, Osamu Tezuka", so there ya go.

Just digging around tumblr and gis gives some pretty cool art from the dude too.

I actually don't mind the Sandman recolours that much (possibly because I haven't read it yet), but good lord:



:stonklol:

This and the Sandman recolors just make me so sad. In Sandman's case I'm sure part of it is just that it's so different from the version I've read and reread numerous times.

It does ensure that I'll try to keep my volumes in great shape so I don't ever have to replace them.

quote:

Nightcat was created by Jim Salicrup, Barry Dutter, Stan Lee, Denys Cowan and Jimmy Palmiotti. Marvel creator Stan Lee wanted to develop a female superhero who crossed over into the real world. Like Dazzler, this hero was also a rock singer. So they released an issue of the Nightcat comic book and hired actress/singer Jacqueline Tavarez to embody Night Cat in real life.

An entire album simply titled Nightcat was recorded and the song "#1 House Rule." Neither the comic nor the album were commercially successful and Jacqueline was fired. At the time she claimed it was because she had appeared in a music video for a song by Joey Buttafuoco. She has since appeared in the film Tromeo And Juliet.
