Comic Art you HATE

[RogueDK]

artists that I used to love but have now gone to the dogs

john byrne (x-men/FF/alpha flight)
john romita jnr (early spider-man with roger stern)

their late 80's early 90's stuff is fantastic anything they draw now I tend to avoid.

Funny, I thought that their late 70s work was the best they ever were and then they slowly declined into something else.

Byrne on X-Men and Romita Jr. on Iron Man at that time was just ridiculously good looking art.

Frank Quitely is HORRIBLE. I totally ****ed up X-men. EVERYONE in it looked fat and doughy. I guess he figured since they were wearing leather, they didn't need muscles. Jean looked like Drew Barrymore (as she looks now), Wolverine looked greasy, evil, sleazy, and way too tanned, Cyclops looked like he had a potato head, etc etc.
(on that note, Igor Kordey sucked bad to on X-Men, "Cable", although Fantomex came out of him, who is awesome and was WAY underused until now).

Larry Stroman is HORRIBLE. He makes EVERYONE look like mutants (the BAD kind), disabled, or just warped. He ruined current issues of X-Factor, and he absolutely MASSACRED "The Times and Life of Lucas Bishop", which otherwise was really good. (They suck you in with GREAT Ariel Olivetti covers, and then...) His OLD X-Factor stuff wasn't that bad, kind of so-so, "stylistic", etc , but now, it's just like 2 second sketches, and a pile of BS.

One of my "faves":

I can't find any from the Bishop series, but kid Bishop looks like he has a little round bowling ball for a head with no eyes. Also, in X-Factor, I couldn't find many either, but like, he'll have some "fat" guys just so warped and distorted, they look like Barbapapas, or have kids look like 2-foot high beach balls. It's sickening. I can honestly say that most people here could probably draw many of his pages.


I HATED Steve Dillon on Wolverinerigins (an AMAZING series that started kind of slow, but tied together very well, and was great overall, as a 50 Issue story). He may be fine for Punisher or whatever (or maybe not), but he makes EVERYONE look evil, sinister, scary, mad, in MOST drawings, ESPECIALLY when the situation doesn't call for it. He's also TOO simplistic. His drawings in Origins actually kind of creeped me out.
