ThothAmon Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 GGA is certainly well covered in the GA forum but not so much for comics from 1956 to 1983 (specific dates so no one tries to sneak anything from Liefeld here). Some of these books are incredibly cheap and tough to find in great shape. Here are two of my favorites that are from both eras. jimjum12, Mr. Lady Luck, waaaghboss and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC Star&Bar Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 For me it's Bob Oksner. His work on Supergirl (Adventure) and Mary Marvel (Shazam) was top-drawer. Great pencils on Angel & the Ape too. Also Nick Cardy. His renditions of Wonder Girl and the few Black Canary drawings were really nice. Mike Grell's Black Canary deserves good reprinting (from Green Arrow bacups in Action). I might mention his Saturn Girl as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicparadox Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) Wally Wood’s art in “The Cat” #1, esp the first page splash, set my prepubescent heart aflutter. Then I found his depiction of the Iron Maiden (Thunder Agents). He demonstrated a mastery of the feminine form.

I never knew Oksner did Supergirl…. he packed plenty of GGA into the covers and pages of Jerry Lewis and Bob Hope, however … and those certainly didn't escape my attention. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) ...The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis qualifies too..... a very favorite artist of mine, Mort Drucker, did some fine work in this genre for D.C., before he was wisked off to fame and fortune with Mad Magazine.

Terry E. Gibbs Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Iron Maiden, whether by Wood, Ditko (Wood inks) or even Chic Stone. How DC has not done anything worthwhile with her is a mystery. The only woman Doctor Doom could ever love. bb8 and ThothAmon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO Buscema's women are the most beautiful in comics, and for me it's not even close. His Conan was definitely livin' the good life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Lou 14 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 For me what sets Buscema apart is the way he draws faces -- in particular the shape of the eyes, eyebrows, and lips. Speaking of which, women's faces were generally the weakest aspect of Kirby's art. Toward the end of his run on FF, Sue Storm finally started to look pretty, but in the early days some of his depictions (the cover of FF #7 stands out in particular) were pretty rough.
