Artist that everyone likes? 0

[kav]

Nobody hates Heath.

[Ssantoss]

Bernie Wrightson is an excellent suggestion, his work in Spiderman: Hooky was something out of this world.

[kav]

Winsor McCay??

His stuff looks like a coloring book to me. Never learned to use black.

[Readcomix]

Was thinking Heath too, but he's also unfamiliar to many, I bet.

 

Romita Sr was a good call, and I'd add John Buscema and Gil Kane to that guess list.

 

Kind of a warm, fuzzy late Silver/early Bronze Marvel look that most everyone at least finds accessible....do we all sing Kumbaya now???

Which "everyone"...?

 

• Ages 8 - 13?

 

• 13 - 16?

 

• 17 - 19?

 

• 20 - 30?

 

• 30 - 40?

 

• 40 - 50?

 

• 50 - (like me) irrelevant?

I'll 2nd Big John Buscema; never heard of anyone disliking his stuff

[Silver Surfer]

Go check out a few of the dudes in the OA, its mind boggling.

[Silver Surfer]

Ivan Reis.

[KPR Comics]

Joe Kubert

[kav]

Hate Kubert.

[catman76]

There's no such thing

Joe Kubert

Lots of his covers when he was really churning them out were....ugh...but,man,his out put.

I think typically the answer here would be someone like Jim Lee - very skilled on a technical level, but generic enough to appeal to a very broad base as well.

 

Ironically, those that dislike him cite these same reasons.

Sure that's not Sal they were talking about?....him I can understand

[Drewsky]

Haters usually go to the left or right for finding flaws- angles, faces, muscles, feet for Rob Liefeld, etc. For me, Don Perlin created the ideal looking comic page and would be a center cut artist. Don Heck and John Buscema are also hard to argue with for being something other than ideal comic artists. To each there own, but these three are ones I would defend.

"Feet" for Rob Liefeld... well, that, and you know... other parts... I feel like I'm posting this a lot, but it has to be done.

 

[mosconi]

IMO, the greatest comic book artist of all time. Wish he had drawn a few BA Spidey's

[kav]

They should have forced Liefeld to animate that enchantress so he would understand how ridiculous it was. Like when an artist made him count the number of teeth in his mouth....
