personally, i dont think anybody before or after is better than kirby. his books just look like what the epitome of a comic book is.
Rob Liefeld and the horrible comic era of the 90s :russ:
- Thread starter Scotch Hall
- Start date
This video explains everything about Liefeld's art.
Leifield was terrible breh...what was that shyt Wildcats or something shyt looked like a bad pastel slayer concert man fukk that art style.
But the 90's still gave us some piff. Jim Lee the GAWD, Alex Ross and DC dropped Kingdom Come in 96, and the Death of Superman was prolly one of the biggest art/cultural events of my young life allong with Logan getting the metal ripped out of him and Bane breaking Batmans back.
But seriously the 90's IS Jim Lee. Think about it some of marvels most iconic and recognizable designs are Jim Lee's work. The base for all the sprites in the Marvel v. Capcom fighters ect....dude's Cyclops and Storm are literally the first thing i think of when i think of X-men

Jim Lee runs this
I'll agree that Jim Lee is the shining light of that era and the art in general but Jim Lee is heads and shoulders tops for me.

Funny I would come across this thread after reading this Cracked article: 5 Ridiculous Things That Show Up in the Art of Every Comic | Cracked.com
An ankle pouch though?
Excellent points... aside from Liefeld of course.
I fux with Jim Lee. He's an artist for sure. But it was just too clean. Characters and penciling during that era were just... outrageous. That's what defined that era... And Jim comes in with all this anatomically correct, generic shyt... FOH, nicca! This ain't no museum ... no curator ... no wall hangings here.
Liefeld created 100 mini me's... his style was replicated and even improved upon later... But that XForce and Cable shyt was ...
Comics haven't had a run like that since have they??? I can't even tell you where a comic store is.... In the 90s, comic stores were popping up everywhere!
Shyt is ...
Great work. The detail... the inking... the lines... beautiful. And you do realize cable was huge in stature, right?
But fukked with the Savage Sword of Conan heavy... The graphic novel style, with the larger sized book and the penciling, shading and inking of the GOATS John Buscema and Alfredo Alcala was just
Pretty much all of the Conans were ridic... Might actually try to find some old Savage Swords...

People were buying comics like they were investments back then. I remember there were 6 pack comic book packages that you could be at Walmart back then. I remember Going to the store and begging my mom to buy either an X-men comic, EGM or Gamefan (remember than Magazine?).
My favorite comics back then were: Grendel (Shocked I read that as a kid looking back on it), Sin City, Give Me Liberty, Akira, Lobo, Death's Head, Ghost Rider (remember the Glow in the Dark issue?), Cerebus. I read like X-men from issue 1 to issue 9 (whenever Jim Lee left) and then I stopped reading it. Dark Horse had all those Cool Star wars comic books (was it Called Shadow of the Empire?) , and my one of my all time favorites ----Aliens vs. Predator.
As far as Jim Lee is concerned, I remember he teamed up with a different Inker for some comic name Deathblow. I remember I was really impressed by the artwork.

So true about the underlined. Think that's why the bubble burst... kinda like baseball cards, but the devaluation and flight from the hobby wasn't as rapid.
Sin City had excellent storytelling.
Cerebus...
... I remember that was critically acclaimed at the time. It was tough to find those issues where I was located at the time.Speaking of mags, I used to cop Wizard faithfully. Is Wizard still in business?
Why ya'll hatin' on Knightfall?Bane breaking Batman's back got me into comic books, when I went thru my Dad's stuff, in the 90s
I bought all of the issues a couple of years ago and
