Modern Oversized Art - What series/artists used it?

[Thomas]

I was wondering what other series/artists have used oversized art since the 80s? I know Mignola did on Cosmic Odyssey but what else? Does anyone know?

 

Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure Wrightson's Batman: The Cult.

Yeah, I have a page from that. It's oversized.

I have a couple pages by Alan Davis from Wolverine Blood Lust that are Oversized art...Silver Age sized pages...makes you wish others did more often.

I had some pages from Strikeforce: Morituri (Mark Bagley art, BTW) that were oversized.

Bryan Hitch did a JLA one-shot with oversized art. Available at artofcomics.com.

Awesome! Thanks guys. There's just something about the oversized art that really grabs me.

 

Thanks again!

As I recall, Byrne did some issues of FF 2-up, and inked them with a magic marker. At least, that's what I was able to glean from the scant hobby press I read back then.

Really? Any idea on what issues? Byrne is a favourite of mine.

 

Thanks!

You missed one important part- "inked them with a magic marker"

 

I believe it was a sharpie.

 

If there was a vomit icon, I'd be using it.

If painted covers are included, Chris Moeller has done some large painitings for LUCIFER covers

 

The Lucifer31 will soon be in the NotSoNice collection

Nah I saw it and I'm ok with that. I've seen some really nice con sketch art done with markers only and I can't imagine that JB did a bad job with them for production art.

To each their own...

 

For me- I've definitely seen some great sketches done with marker. I use sharpies myself for sketching (at shows, with a model, on the street.) They're great. We're not talking about a sketch though, we're talking about honest to goodness comic art and we're also talking about an artist (Byrne) who needs clean lines (think Austin) to shine. The last thing sharpie lines are is clean. When I get around to buying a Byrne FF page it will have a proper inker.
