catman76 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) I don't agree with Carl Barks. It's almost impossible for me to distinguish his work from others. Speaking of funny animal/cartoon artists, there are so many who's work you can spot a mile away. Ken Hultgren, Dan Gordon, Jim Tyer, Vince Fago, Al Fago, Ellis Chambers, Connie Rasinski, Milt Gross, Boody Rogers, George Carslon, Art Nugent Edited December 13, 2019 by catman76 Arkadin and jimbo_7071 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gino2paulus2 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 This thread ROCKS!! No one beats a louder drum for Patenaude than myself so let me throw that name in the hat. Not the most well reknowned and a smaller body of work I am still researching and discovering to this day but when I see it for the most part I recognize it so that has to qualify as distinct at the very least. Not as detailed as Fine, not as beautifully busy and precise as Schomburg or even as gorgeous as Frazetta. At least for the Fox covers and even MLJs inside stories on the Green Falcon which was a Robin Hood esque type of character. The poses, the mouths, the musculature, The red dressed woman who always need rescuing 😊 it’s an approach I find to be mesmerizing and quite charming even though all the heroes whether it be Blue Beetle, The Eagle, US Jones, or even V-Man can look strikingly similar to one another!! To me that only adds to the appeal when seen side by side. Patenaude for President!! The Blue Beetle never skipped leg day when Patenaude was at the helm 😂 bounty_coder, Pat Calhoun and adamstrange 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Ekgren did only 3 comic book covers but they are about as distinctive as they come. The last one is full of Freudian imagery... I find the Ekgren covers interesting, but they weren't painted as comic book covers; three of his paintings were purchased by St. John and then used as comic book covers.

path4play Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) All good examples of distinctive artists - What about one of my favorites Irv Novick? Unfortunately I currently only own one - but its a "ride or die" - others have $ gotten out of my league Edited January 15, 2020 by path4play gino2paulus2, bounty_coder, Pat Calhoun and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electricmastro Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 L.B. Cole not only did good covers, but also good interior art, such as with Toytown Comics #1 (February 1945, Baily Publishing Company). gino2paulus2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, a highlight for sure. I actually prefer his interior work to many of his covers. Thanks for posting all these interiors and dragging up all these lost threads!
