SA ARTIST SURVIVOR SERIES: RD.16

[tth2]

Gil Kane was unfortunately voted off last round

 

Romita must go.

[tth2]

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.

Spot on.

Joe Kubert

yep

Yep, I agree with Tim on this one. Still voted for Ditko though as I think he's overrated (he's good, but not great). Waste of a vote, but there you go.

[tth2]

Yep, I agree with Tim on this one.

[goldust40]

Yep, I agree with Tim on this one.

It was bound to happen eventually - law of averages and all that.

ADAMS MUST GO!

[Sal]

Adams is a BA artist.

 

Neal Adams has six times the credits in the SA as Jim Steranko.

 

 

you know, just sayin

Look, just 'cause you think the cover to Cap #110 is a steaming pile doesn't mean Steranko should be voted off.

[TheShadowKnows]

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

Sal ,

Look throught the CA 110,11,113.Had them but just sent them out.

i never said it was a steaming pile. just that i don't understand the slavish devotion to a book that obviously differs from the original intent.

 

 

Steranko should have been voted off before either Kane or Anderson

[Scrooge]

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.

 

CBM 28.

 

Here's Adams on Steranko from that CBM issue -

[Sal]

Neal Adams also thinks the Earth is expanding.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

just saying.

[TheShadowKnows]

Just say no to the Ditko.

Romita.Just to even out Docs Ditko vote.

[Scrooge]

Neal Adams also thinks the Earth is expanding.

 

 

just saying.

 

Funny that you're willing to put Adams in one of the top 3 spots and therefore recognize that he knows a thing or two about drawing and storytelling but you're also quick to discount his opinion about other story-tellers

oh don't go there, Scrooge.

 

 

if i had my druthers, Adams would be out already. i think he belongs in a spot above Steranko, though

[Scrooge]

Oooopps. I thought you were one of those Adams fancier. Who's your top 3 from the list of guys still left standing?

[Sal]

Oooopps. I thought you were one of those Adams fancier. Who's your top 3 from the list of guys still left standing?

 

from the three left?

 

Kirby, Ditko and Kubert.

 

my personal top three?

 

 

Anderson, Kirby & Kane . In that order.

[*paull*]

In the SA, Steranko undoubtedly was more influential than Adams. In the BA, however, Adams was the man.

 

Kane over Steranko? You're killing me.
