Rob Liefeld Announces His Retirement From Comics

regardless of your opinions of his artistic talent.

 

"artistic talent" you say?

 

Dude gets paid to draw comics. Someone is buying them. It may not be me anymore, but his artwork was exciting to my teen brain.

[Ditch Fahrenheit]

My mistake is that I don’t give facebook comments the same weight as I do twitter rants. Lesson learned.

 

[Senormac]

He has encouraged me to become a comic book artist. No.... really, just right now.... I'm going to change careers

[Ditch Fahrenheit]

come to think of it... has anyone ever seen Rob Liefeld's feet?

Only time I met him he was sitting behind a table... hiding his feet maybe?

 

Not Suitable For Work

Humberto Ramos sends his sympathies.

TOAST RULE: Take a shot for each pouch you see on a character.

 

I think I'd have alcohol poisoning after the first splash page if i had to take a drink for each pouch.

Humberto Ramos sends his sympathies.

 

 

gah! I'm blind!

[Shaven Kev-migration]

See if he drew some pouches on spidey he could hide all that difficult to draw anatomy

Yeah, I'm just bitter because I want his job!

Seriously though, he's living the dream, I just don't think it's fair that he's such a well known and sought after artist when lots and lots of self taught artist way better than him can't find a job...

[ss5rmp]

i hate liefeld's art in comics but i think the sketches he does for people are top notch in comparison to someone like jim starlins sketches...

 

 

[shadroch]

I never liked his art, but the man made a huge impact on the comics industry.

Just breaking away from Marvel and being one of the founders of Image gives him a special place in the history of the business.

I like Ramos' art. I find it refreshing.

 

 

[Maccai3]

i find it hard to look at his art without pointing out all the flaws to myself

If there's one thing you can't do Roy, it's troll successfully.

Yeah, it's not really trolling. It's more of a gently defensive contrarianism with a possible advertisement for colon cleansing and organic produce.

 

Roy is awesome - may he never change.

[Stguchi]

I think his "sabbatical" might be a money ploy.

 

Now that he's out of the game his die hard fans may reach out to him and pay top bucks for a commission piece.

Just once I'd like to see him go off on someone. Now that would be refreshing!

Or just feather-kick them on the ear.
