Friday Five – Comic Artists
Welcome to the Friday Five! Each week I help you get to know me a little better with the help of a Top 5 list. This week’s topic: Favorite Comic Book Artists.
Great writing is only half the story when it comes to comics. If I just wanted something to read I have plenty of books. No, the great thing about comics is all the visuals. While a bad artist can take a great story and make it unreadable, a good artist can elevate a bad story to new heights with creative and evocative artwork.
- Jim Lee – I loved all his work on X-men back in the 90’s, in particular the X-Men series 1 cardset, and his new take on Justice League (especially Batman) is pretty badass.
- J Scott Campbell – He sure knows how to draw hot busty ladies. It’s the reason I have a near full run of Gen 13
- Greg Horn – Another one who draws a hot lady, I particularly like his run of She Hulk covers
- Michael Turner – Sensing a pattern? While some may think the proportions were all wrong, I really liked his take on Supergirl.
- Jack Kirby/Steve Ditko – The classic originators of the Marvel Method
