SA ARTIST SURVIVOR SERIES: RD.16

[TheWatcher]

Gil Kane was unfortunately voted off last round Time for someone else to bite the dust and create our Top 5!!!

 

 

[DrWatson]

Just say no to the Ditko.

[topofthetotem]

Adams is a BA artist.

[Karma23]

I was planning on Romita this round but I look up and see Adams, and I really think of him as BA, so out he goes

[Leescomics]

Sorry, I just can't bring myself to vote off any of these great artists! I love them all!

 

I'll just have to watch from the sidelines.

Voted off Neal Adams!!!! I like his stuff, but to me he is more 1970's.

[Tatterdamillion]

I will have major vendetta issues if Kubert does not make top 3 (thats me being realistic)!

[Shadow]

Romita easily for me. I think he's Marvel's "Curt Swan" and that's not a knock. It's just that he's a median line for me. Solid, professional, not too exciting or spectacular.

 

Oh, and the Spidey Factor is carrying him a bit.

I had voted for Kubert in earlier rounds, but this thread has reminded me how much I like some of his work: Hawkman, early Brave and the Bold (Viking Prince), Sea Devils, etc. The sketchier, later work (JLA covers, a zillion 70s war and Tarzan-related stories) doesn't do as much for me, but he deserves to stay around longer than artists who had far less Silver Age work (Adams, Steranko).

i swear, i don't understand the fascination with Jim "less than 60 books" Steranko. i would guess that even the BA God Neal Adams has just as many credits in the Silver Age, and he managed to find work for both publishers.

 

 

it's a mystery. are a couple dozen Nick Fury stories really enough to propel someone into the top five?

 

:headscratch:

jrsr

[shiverbones]

if Steranko wasn't so innovative and influential , i'd agree. But he did far more for comics artistically, then jrsr.

Romita

[Sal]

he did, really?

 

 

i'd love to see some examples of Steranko's influence on any other title. i'm up for a little education

[shiverbones]

Steranko's influence altered everyone's style, including Neal Adams! The ultra dynamic stylized rendering of the human form he pioneered has become comics standard to this day! He took the clumsy power of Kirby & infused it with grace and design.

can you be a bit more specific? cite any examples?

 

 

i look at Steranko's work and think that it's pretty powerful stuff, but no more graceful than Kane or Ditko. i see a lot of examples of Steranko purposely copying another artist's style, which isn't bad in and of itself, but i just don't see a lasting direct impact like you describe

[shiverbones]

well, I don't have the books to back it up anymore. Maybe someone can help me out. Reading the article in CBM #27, I think it was, will do a lot to help as well.

Ditto.
