Interesting Fletcher Hanks move that he does more than once is fusing the bad guys into one character, seemingly either because he ran out of space or just didn't want to draw multiple guys anymore.

I got it, I had been waiting for it to get an official release for years. Not just an amazing showcase of JLGL's art, but an important part of DC's history in the early 80's. I wish Marvel would publish their style guide from the 80's (with mostly John Romita Sr.'s art).

>>150208335
I wish they’d both go back to a house style and firmer character models.

He drew my favorite version of the Bat.
>>
>>150208384
I don't hate it. He's not as tight as he was in the late 80's/early 90's but he's still a competent storyteller. Nothing beats when he was getting inked by Al Williamson and Klaus Janson though, they understood exactly what to do with his pencils.
>>
>>150208384
His recent stuff is just completely unprofessional

Better than anything mora is drawing certainly

>>150208441
Anon, that was a cover he drew recently.

AFAIC he's still the definitive Batman artist.

this might be divisive but I'm gonna pick Todd because of how iconic and recognizable his style was, I love the tone of his renders and how he ignored anatomy, etc. for raw style
>>
>>150208914
He drew art of Batman and Superman kissing but only because Chinese fujoshis kept paying him to do it at a convention

What kind of annoys me about Todd is that everything that made his Spider-Man popular, he got from Art Adams, but Art Adams wasn't lucky enough to be assigned a long stint drawing Spider-Man to get the acclaim Todd got.

Adams wouldn’t be able to do a monthly run for long. Hell Todd only could for a few years too. That said, it’s more than just his Spider-man look that made his art popular, his pages are just really dynamic and engaging even if he’s less skilled technically

Dan Mora is a great character artist but you can tell he doesn’t really get classic comic dynamism. He rarely uses dynamic foreshortening or really pushes his figures, they all look like basic 3D models laid out instead of using his imagination to create visuals. Something about it just lacks energy

I love him too, his morrison lanterns and blackstars and brave and the bold is uber kino.

I love John Romita Junior too, but his last good art was all star batman and captain america (and that was like 2014-2016)

>house style
Not only are none of these artists similar enough for that to be true there hasn’t been a house style at either of the big 2 since the late 80s.

Im so goddamn sick of casuals like you using this term despite not understanding it.
>>
>>150206842

I thought he had some weird same-mouth going.
Looks off and uncanny
>>
>>150208384

Same, hes THE spider-man artist of my childhood. I started reading with his stuff in mid 90s
>>
>>150213361
Bagley was better
>>
>>150213243
There are general trends. In the early 90s, most Marvel artists were aping Jim Lee or Todd McFarlane. In the mid 90s through the early 00s, it was Joe Mad-adjacent. After the early 00s, Bryan Hitch and other more detailed, more nearly realistic styles. Just look at 90s Bagley, where he was copying Todd and 00s Bagley where he was copying Bryan.
Though you're right that a lot of those artists are far too different to lump them all as "house style" guys.
>>
>>150208384
I think digital/modern coloring makes his style look a lot worse
>>
>>150213918
I never claimed there weren’t trends. But anyone claiming there was a house style at either of the big anytime after the late 80s is retarded.
>>
>>150214512

>>150208384
JR JR was hard carried by his father's inks. Once Janson became his inker his art immediately went to shit, especially over the last 20 years as he's become an old man whose own penciling skills are nowhere near what they were in the '80s.
>>
>>150208914
No but like a lot of artists for current DC he draws, either intentionally or because it's what the company wants, in a way that's meant to appeal to fujos and gay men.
