If you want to see a mainstrem porno comic get Alan Moores Lost Girls (Don't)

I've read Lost Girls and I agree that it's not worth it, I think it fails as both porn and something more serious. YMMV though.

Planetary always had gorgeous art, and some very effective and dramatic use of color.

I don't think I've ever heard someone say Cassaday's art isn't much to talk about, but eh. Planetary I think resonates more if you know the history of the medium. Classic comic strips, newspaper serials, old timey heroes to modern interpretations, etc. There's a throughline for the story but it doesn't go quite straight through it and instead explores a lot more.

Yeah, Planetary's overarching story really isn't anything to write home about, it's all about the exploration and interpretation of comics history via the other media that inspired it. The end moral is "we should explore and preserve past stories because they inform and enrich future ones".

Compare this to The Four who literally sold the planet, and by extension all its weird and beautiful history, just for personal gain.

I never liked Corben's art personally, but he was a mainstay of comics for many years and about the last person who could really nail the classic EC style.

Corben was the master of grotesque and disturbing, there's just something so off about how he draws horror. Everything is touched with madness.

Dude probably invented some words, but the idea that he invented a LOT of them seems weird, since he was a popular playwright who needed his unwashed masses to understand what the gently caress everyone was saying (and laugh at the jokes)

Sonic the Comic #163
Script: Lew Stringer
Letters: Elitta Fell

The inking on this one is really weird, the pencils obviously mark the highlights on the characters for coloring but they've been inked, and with the same line weight as everything else.

I kinda like it though.

Paklis #6. Love that background (and other similar ones in this issue):



It's masterful how the line weights and colouring are keeping the extremely busy and detailed background from overwhelming the foreground elements.

In-Hyuk Lee is another one who blatantly lightboxes porn. Here's his variant cover for Infinity #1 (2013) featuring Supergiant:



And here's the unmodified original, before the cloth effects were added to her body armour to conceal the fact that for some reason it has a very obvious navel to go along with the tacked on codpiece.



are you sure he was tracing and not just drawing a naked lady first then adding bits to it

Still a bit scuffed, but in a way you could write off as stylised exaggeration
