the thing I don't understand about classic comics... could the artists not draw as well as they can today? lol.
like everything looks so visually poopy
I often wonder just the opposite. Many comic books published now look as if the artists just don't give a damn and will put anything out for a paycheck.

Why did people wear different clothes in the olden days? Why was CGI not as good? Why was music different?
I understand things change with the times and technology, but drawing ability isn't something that is limited by time. Just a minor gripe I have sorry to get anyone worked up lol.
It's a matter of individual taste. I grew up with Silver Age Marvel Comics, so the visual styles of various artists are very familiar to me and I enjoy them. Artists like Kirby, both Buscemas, Starlin, Steranko, Gil Kane, Ditko, Romita Sr., Cockrum, Adams, etc., were and remain giants of the field. They were expert visual storytellers, working in conjunction with some of the best writers ever to grace the medium. If you put the worst work of those artists up against the best work being turned out today, I would still choose the old masters over the current crop of artists.
