I'll probably take flak for this, but I never liked the mouths and body poses of some of Jack Kirby's work. I was reading an old Machine Man recently, and all the soldiers in this full-page panel had the same face. By contrast, in an old Ditko comic, every face in the background crowd was different.

That Shock Suspenstories # 16 is ART. Not a drawing, but ART! You're right about the lighting, shading, shadows.

Did anyone mention Dave Dorman?
(I would like some Jusko art. )
Late 70s isn't Kirby's best work. And he gets bonus points for the sheer volume of work.
Recent Ditko covers aren't awesome. They should probably count as Underground Comics because he's working so hard at keeping them out of mainstream outlets.




Robbie could you please show the most legendary issue of Weird Science-Fantasy #29 that you have. (Yes i know, you have 2 copies, Only awesome people have that many smile )
I'll re-post the poster i have of it as a reference later.


It is one of the best pre-code Frazetta covers.

Some covers I like a lot:

Epic Illustrated #6 - I like the elaboarate tentacles.


Psychoanalysis #3 - I like the eyes


Shock Suspenstories # 16 - I like the use of light & shadow


War Dancer #1 - The orange clouds


I liked it enough to buy the color art:


I'm sure there are countless others I like.

But for me as always is Frank Frazetta. I only own one book of his is Eerie Magazine #2.
Plus other Magazines that reprint he's covers.
One day i'd like to get an original cover of his. Robbie has one that a favorite of many collectors.

Kinda like some of George Perez's covers, with lots of characters on the cover.
One choice would be Steranko. Of course Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD covers by him rank high for me but his few covers for X-Men shine also.
I like Jim Lee's art but many of his covers the characters all have the same poise, Superman and Batman covers seemed recycled. How many covers of Batman he did have him looking on a edge of a building?
Alex Ross and Steranko I guess are tops for me.
