Is Thorgal as pretty in the interiors?

Have you ever checked out Arthur Ranson?

all great poo poo but seriously what is up with that weak rear end title logo on the cover, is that a European thing or what?

The Thorgal logo and those Aztec snakes were prob from the first issue when someone threw it together and it's sitting in a bag at the bottom of a drawer in the printer's shop.

It just makes me sad to see these gorgeous painted covers with poo poo rear end 96 point Times New Roman pasted over them

Flesh Forge posted:

Aaaaaa that Bilal cover is somehow even worse
it's like someone ran a GBS thread "Ruin Great Paintings With MS Sans Serif"

e: not even exaggerating

The flashback sequence in today's Marauders were by Klaus Janson. Janson inked parts of Bill Sienkiewicz's first run on Moon Knight, and later inked/finished nearly all of Frank Miller's Daredevil run. Sienkiewicz also drew parts of Miller's 1980s DD stuff (the Love & War GN, Elektra Assassin) which was where Spider-Verse got its inspiration for Kingpin.

Five Years is the coming together of all of his stuff, so SiP, Echo, Motor Girl and Rachel Rising. I'll buy anything Moore does, he's just so good.

I think that's just part of J. H. Williams's approach when he's left to his own devices. I haven't seen much of his work, but it was something he did in Promethea too.

Another problem with appreciating Kirby is that so much of his stuff - so many of his innovations - have become part of the standard way superhero stories are told. If you're not up on your history, his stuff looks derivative of the people who came after him and were influenced by him. It's like a student in a freshman literature class complaining that Shakespeare's plays are full of cliches.

I mean, the man's basically created for creating the prefix "un-".

I tend to believe that "William Shakespeare" is basically Aesop or Mother Goose (that, or he was the face of a whole "shop" like Rembrandt or Hans Zimmer or... Drake), but even if you don't give one person credit for everything, you gotta give that person credit for spotting talent.

As both an IK of BSS and somebody who frequently teaches Shakespeare seminars I am begging you all to drop this derail before I have two aneurysms at once, unless you have some good or bad comic book panels with Shakespeare in them.

Is this okay to say?

I appreciate Terry Moore's art and I think it's good.

But I've never liked Terry Moore's art.

The only old punisher I remember is where Frank goes blackface for a few issues. That was weird.

John Mirra posted:

At one point in those early Punisher comics someone mentions that he's killed thousands of drug dealers and crime is still rampant and maybe they're also victims of their socio economic circumstances, bullets aren't the answer, and maybe something more should be done by politicians and the Punisher just goes 'welp, the war continues'.

Y'all know Frank was a cop, right?

DK II started well but there is a midway point where the artwork just became so freaking block like that it was hard to even figure out what was going on in the panels. Just weird shapes instead of people.
