Who was your favorite early '90s X-Men artist?

[Ken Aldred]

I like Silvestri as well, but I followed his work on X-Men more in the 80s.

Silvestri

 

[P Keel]

Silvestri goodness

[Wampler]

I'm just blown away that Liefeld has more votes than Portacio.

Think it's because that's the crack option

I thought Silvestri's stuff was a bit darker in style. I liked it better, but not by much. Jim Lee's X-Men stuff was great too.

For good or ill he had more of a fan following and there are a ton of guys my age and younger who were huge fans at the time. Look at how many people still love McFarlane....though it's not as kewl to hate his work.

Rick Leonardi was great, too. A very underrated X-Artist.

 

 

+1 on that. Rick Leonardi is definitely underrated.

 

He did the Cyclops vs. Storm fight (UXM #201) and the Wolverine vs. Sabretooth fight (UXM #212).

 

He was great on Daredevil too. This comic is one of my favorites in my collection. For nostalgia alone. Daredevil vs. Wolverine.

Did Liefeld actually do any issues of Uncanny rather than # 245? I liked that book because the story was fun, but Liefeld's art was much better in say...What If # 7 (one of the first comics I ever bought, because of the cover).

I enjoyed Jim Lee, Mark Silvestri, and Whilce Portacio, but Lee was my favorite.

I loved the covers that were inked by Art Thibert, right around the time X-Men 1 was released, from about 281-286. I think 286 was the last issue i bought, because the book had become unreadable to me, with all the new characters and people from the future and whatnot, but it was still pretty to look at.

I agree. The stories were horrible, but the art was excellent. (thumbs u

JIM LEE hands down, but Silvestri was great too. I loved him on Wolverine a little more

[graffix13]

Jim Lee for sure. I never really cared for Silvestri. I always thought he was overrated, IMO.

Mr. lee, of course.

[Conan_Aficionado]

Lee, no doubt.

 

Here is part 1 to start you out of the Jim Lee/Stan Lee interview.

I guess I'm not the only one who can't stand Bishop...or X-Man. What a load of mess.

[MR SigS]

Without a doubt, Jim Lee. Of the artists that drew in that style (the ones that tried to draw like him), he drew like he cared. Thank Buddah Liefeld didn't draw that title.
