chrisco37 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Such an innovator. He was one of the first SA guys to draw the heroes in the "leaner/athletic" form. He and Adams paved that way. Just look at the Cap 111 cover. Such a departure from the "Kirby SA Cap", but it worked. He influenced so many artists. Look at Starlin's Cap Marvel stuff. The Steranko influence is undeniable.

Black_Adam Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I know it isn't Silver Age, but this recent pickup is one of my favorite Steranko covers and from the Ghost Town collection to boot! pmpknface, jimjum12 and Larryw7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The artist that I thought he influenced the most was Paul Gulacy which was clearly evident from the layouts and artistic renderings which he used for his beautiful Master of Kung Fu run. Still remembered mentioning Gulacy's name to Steranko once at a comic book convention, and he did not seem very happy or impressed at all.

Dave2739 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Scooped this up at HeroesCon, coincidentally from the Heroes booth. Super cool and trippy Steranko art in the last story. Larryw7, Arkadin, pmpknface and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpideyFein Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I’m sure many of us have met and spoken to him at length about books, woman, and life. He is still a lady killer, and can charm the best of them. I have a Cap 110 and 111, both personalized and I love them. Here is my Cap Sketch, and although it’s not SA, it has some of the CLEANEST lines. That big 113 splash is Nuts btw.

Unstoppablejayd Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Being a huge X-men fan... I have thought this over many times. If I could own one page of interior art it would probably be this one. pmpknface and Albert Thurgood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aardvark88 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Steranko's 2nd published work in Strange Tales #152. Bombastic, trend-setting, mind blowing: pmpknface and Albert Thurgood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bombastic, trend-setting, mind blowing: Sitting on the sidewalk next to the 7-11 with my best friend Mickey Johnson and reading our newest purchases of Marvel Comics; indeed we were blown away. We thought this new guy Steranko was the best, along with that other new guy that came along a few months later at DC doing Deaman, the Specter, and various covers - Neal Adams. Of course, Kirby was still King. thehumantorch and aardvark88 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This particular page from SHIELD # 2 was considered a classic at one time..... GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) That's not Steranko's art in the last panel. I think he drew something like having his jacket on the floor or something and Marvel thought it was too suggestive. And THAT'S what they replaced it with! Jim still has the original art to this and many other pages of his, as he quickly demanded to get his art back - and they look like they were drawn yesterday. All pristine white. Oh he also figured out that if he brought in his pages at the last minute they didn't have time to change them. Drove Stan nuts!

It's fairly amusing, given a holstered gun is pretty darn suggestive in itself Are we sure the last panel is not just a blow-up from a detail in panel one? Panel 11 looks alarmingly similar to the holstered gun in panel 1, which technically would make it Jim's artwork. Unless it was actually light-boxed or re-drawn by another artist who used an enlargement of panel 1 as a reference. But it looks like a straight enlargement paste-up to me (I could be wrong - maybe the line weight would be off by using a straight-up enlargement).

David Sim is a parody artist. However, Neal Adams might use his inspiration for the woman being chased by dogs on his cover.

All I remember is it wasn't what Jim put to start with. Yea... it's more suggestive and Jim got a laugh out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
