Comic Book Artists Similar to Neal Adams???

[returntovoid]

What other comic book artists are influenced by Neal Adams???

There are quite a bunch, actually. I think that Norm Breyfogle, Marchall Rogers and Walt Simonson can be easily mentioned in the same ilk as Neal Adams. In my opinion, I like them, actually, even better. Then there is, of course, Jim Aparo. Although I might not make any friends around here by saying that I, not only, think that Aparo's style is pretty overrated, I just don't like the overall look and feel of his work. His characters always seem so cold and lifeless, and stiff. But I guess that I stand alone with this opinion.

More modern artist that got a special "Neal Adams" vibe going on, definitely are the always fantastic Graham Nolan and, yes, I mean it, Tony S. Daniel. I'm quite suprised how his style changed over the years. It's shocking how he turned from "Rob Liefeld" to almost a "Neal Adams" knock-off. Perhaps it is, again, just me. But I haven't seen an artist with a more similar style to Adams' in quite a while.

Jim Aparo's early work was way better than his 90's work. Go check that out.
Norm Breyfogle is somewhat Neal Adams inspired only he has greatly improved wat Neal started.
Let's not forget Alan Davis, check out Full Circle.
Gene Colan's run was great also.

I'm not sure these guys where influenced by Neal, but they but a good solid stamp on the Bat's we know today.

If we're talking about artists who aped Adams's style then there was Rick Buckler, Michael Netzer and the whole stable of artists from the defunct Continuity Comics.

i think its almost impossible to be a comic book artist and NOT be influenced by neal adams in some way. he really just defines the art form. in regards to modern artists, ivan reis comes to mind. and i agree about tony daniels as well. he's sort of a cross between neal adams and jim lee.

The comic book artists from the '30s to the '60s were similar to Chester Gould and Will Eisner with cartoony stylization.
Many of the '70s and '80s artists were/are similar to Neal Adams' style with the realistic look:
Dick Giordano
Irv Novick
Jim Aparo
Dick Dillin
Ernie Chua
Al Milgrom
Jim Steranko
Mike Grill
Marshall Rogers
Rich Buckler
Mike Nasser
Alan Weiss
Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez
Micheal Kaluta
Michael Golden
Val Mayerik
Don Newton
John Byrne
Brian Bolland, etc.
Many younger generation '90s to current artists are more similar to Jim Lee's style which incorporates a Manga Akira/Lone Wolf and Cub influence to mainstream American comics.

I love Neal Adams' art and I like the artists I listed and I like Jim Lee's art but I also like a variety. Artists should try to develop their own style rather than fifty guys all trying to do the same thing to be a `hot' artist. "This guy is doing this, and people seem to respond to it, I'll just do that, too." Well, after a while: Seen it once, seen it all.

You left out George Perez.

Among many others. That's why I put etc. because the full list would be so long.

George Perez is never an etc.., he's earned it. Other than that good list.

theMan-Bat mentioned Don Newton, a very underrated Batman artist who doesn't get enough credit.

By et cetera I simply mean the others that I didn't list, not lesser talents.

I think Jerry Bingham's artwork in Batman: Son of the Demon is very similar to Neal Adams style.

And Batman does not look like he's on steroids in that graphic novel.

Jim Aparo/Norm Breyfogle were the first two that sprung into my mind, but I agree with the earlier poster in that many artists today have been inspired by the great Neal Adams.
