It was important to Russ that if he drew a certain piece of equipment or vehicle that he got it right. He did his homework.

Back in the 50s and 60s he bought models and built them to help him draw them accurately. I asked him back around '95 whether he still used them and he said he didn't -- they were in his head.

Yup. That's a level of dedication you don't often see and one of the things that makes his work so great.

That man can draw a tank that is for sure.

I like his war work better than Kuberts.

 

I have a hard time picking between them. Their styles were so radically different. Heath, clean and smooth and Kubert rough and gritty. It's no mystery why Kubert's style is perfect for war comics but Heath's style would seem an unlikely choice and yet it works so damn well.

I've started the Jerry Grandenetti SURVIVOR SERIES contest in Comics General.

Things to remember:

 

1. You are voting for the ones you don't like.

2. These rounds are only lasting 24 hours, so when you see these posts from me, try to get the voting done right away.

 

Thanks!

Hey Andy-

 

Very cool contest. I voted for the ones I didn't like, and it was a struggle finding 33. Too many awesome covers already have votes against them (seriously, how can anyone NOT like GIC 74 and SSWS 88!?!)

 

Will you be posting each round here or should I bookmark the main voting thread?
