Popular Post batman_fan Posted August 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2022 Tom is my favorite inker by far. Truly sad to have him gone. bc, workingdog, s-man and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Aldred Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) Tragic. One of my all-time favourite inkers, and my favourite over Neal Adams' pencils. Many prefer Giordano in that respect, but I loved Palmer's Bronze Age Avengers and X-Men work. Also, Tomb of Dracula with Gene Colan, and, well, he never failed to add synergistically to whatever pencil art he embellished. I was thinking again about how few of my Bronze Age icons are left now, focusing too much on writers and pencil artists, forgetting Palmer. A bad oversight, I'll admit.

Came here to say exactly this. Palmer seemed really heavy-handed over Buscema, but him with Colan was a match made in heaven. PopKulture 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Bronze Age inking was quite smooth, but much, much heavier in the second run of Avengers he did with Buscema in the Copper Age. Quite noticeable.

Look at how he handles Colans smoky magic here on this page (that is on my downstairs wall) Here's another from that issue that I own. It looks fairly straightforward but there is a lot going on here inking wise. batman_fan, jdandns, namisgr and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, I suspect Palmer was more of a "finisher" on breakdowns by Buscema. toro and Bird 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramerica Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 RIP Tom. I'd like to call attention to Avengers #270-277 aka the "Masters of Evil" storyline that he and the legendary John Buscema teamed up for. I must have read those books 5 times. Man, the Avengers were sooo good with them together sassemble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
