That's German, isn't it?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Russian or Ukrainian or something. German doesn't have that many different letters from the alphabet that English uses.

 

[PhotoJones]

Marko's German. I assumed.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Is he? Djurdjevic doesn't sound like a German name. I guess his family could've moved at some point.

 

[PhotoJones]

That's what it says on his bio.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm not disputing that it's true, it just surprised me.

Thanks for posting pics,
What has Marko Djurdjevic done by the way?

Here is a more current photo of Marc Silvestri

and another of Texeira signing my sketchbook

Never mind about Marko Djurdjevic, found his stuff on google.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Nobody looks like I thought they would.

 

[PhotoJones]

I was just going to say that. Alan Davis looks like a Brit, but not like I thought he would. Bolland looks nothing like I thought he would. Thomas, Kolins and Ennis don't look a thing like I thought they would. Jurgens fits the bill, I suppose. And Tex looks pretty much how I would've imagined.

 

[Artistsean]

I am not trying to pull the curtain away, or shatter anyones perceptions. I'm just trying to show everyone what these artists look like so that we can recognize them at Comic Cons and such.
Also, I think it sort of gives them some kind of recognition. Sort of put the spot light on them.

Ty Templeton - writer of Batman Adventures and Simpson Comics

David Williams - artist of Hulk / Powerpack

Gail Simone - writer of Villians United, the New Atom, and Deadpool

Mark Bagley - artist of Ultimate Spider-Man

Stuart Immonen - artist of Next Wave and Ultimate Fantastic Four

Kaare Andrews - writer and artist of Spider-Man: Reign

John Byrne - writer and artist of Superman & Batman: Generations

 

[Démon]

That's German, isn't it?

Nope. German utilizes the same letters as English, for the most part, except they have three umlaut letters and an ess-tsett. That paper is in Cyrillic, probably Russian or somewhere near there as someone else said. I believe the main heading is "Politics" in English. (I'm learning Russian, but I can't be entirely sure that's the word since some of it is obscured.) I also see the word for "country" in a subheading on that page.
Djurdjevic sounds like an East European name to me. So I guess he's probably from a East European family in Germany.

Anyway, it's pretty interesting seeing the artists and writers behind the comics. Some of them are a lot older than I would've thought.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Heh, John Byrne looks exactly how I thought he would.

 

[Not Jake]

I'm disillusioned by all the ugly and old people. It makes me lose respect for their works. Bagley really freaks me out. Not that I really dig his art, anyway. He looks like a dead-eyed pedo

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Not everyone can be as pretty as you, Jakey.

 

[PhotoJones]

I'm surprised John Byrne's head fit in the shot.

 

[Not Jake]

Not everyone can be as pretty as you, Jakey.

Well duh. But still. I like Djurdjevic's art even more now. I'd bone him. Or rather, try to, then get raped. Wait. I'm not gay. Shut up

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Djurdjevic could do so much better than you. Besides which, he'd probably shoot you for asking. Look at that face. He'd shoot you for existing near him.

 

[PhotoJones]

I heard that Ludlum based his Jason Bourne character on Marko Djurdjevic. Actually, a friend of mine has proof.

Here are some more pictures of comic book artists. Also if you have your own pictures of comic pencilers or writers or inkers, go ahead and post them. Or if you have better pics than what is already posted, go ahead and post those.
Or if you want a picture, go on and ask. maybe I or someone else here can find it online somewhere, and then post that picture for you.

Chris Claremont - writer of Uncanny X-Men

Ron Lim - artist of X-Men 2099

 

[PhotoJones]

Holy mother of Christ, Ron Lim looks nothing like I'd picture him. I wasn't even in the right race.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Finally! Sal Buscema looks just about what I expected him to look like.

 

[PhotoJones]

Everytime I see Rob Liefeld, my hand makes a fist.

 

[Not Jake]

ugh, nice mustache, David. He looks like an elderly, depressed Yosemite Sam

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Haha, he really does. He should've kept the goatee I always see him with.
