Would you consider JLGL a top-tier artist? What's your favorite comic by him?
>>153631191I don't know what makes him better than any other bronze age artist. He's fine
>>153631191Yes.Twilight with Howard Chaykin.
>>153631191idk who this is but that wondy looks hot
>>153631191He's pretty good. I like his Deadman comic, probably my favorite
This sort of clean,delineated "house style" is deceptively simple and hard to pull off with the consistency and frequency he managed.I love the story from the Modern Masters book about Moebius visiting the DC office and being stricken that JLGL doesn't use any models because his work looked so precise>>153631539See above, I think he's an artist who's basically an artist's artist, not just in that he's great but that I think other artists appreciate his ability in a way an observer who doesn't make art would. It's hard to put into words but I think there's an effortlessness to his style that clicks, he doesn't go for the in your-face dynamism of a Neal Adams but it still looks really full of energy, he doesn't stylize or experiment with form as much but it still looks engaging. I think there's also appreciation in his ability to create such a true neutral distillation of comic styles of his era. Your mileage will vary if you want something else out of your artwork though, naturally.
>>153633067They could resurrect Atari Force now. Pretty sure Warner got the part of Atari that had that copyright when they bought Midway.
>>153633243What for? It won't be good, unless you're desperate enough.
>>153634131At least to reprint the original and its JLGL artwork and designs. It's a beautiful book.
Never thought about it somehow but I would kill for some nice DC Universe by JLGL omnibuses. Maybe DC can get Fantagraphics to do a bunch of artist books like that new Marvel line to publish it To answer OP it’s probably the Chaykin collaborations
>>153634399Good point.
I've always admired his work, although I think he's a better cover/poster artist than a graphic storyteller.
My favorite comic page ever is just an exposition dialogue drawn by him. The more you look at it, the more you realize what a clever composition it clever it is, while simultaneously pulling off character in complex perspectives. I don't remember which artist said it, but JLGL can make any panel feel like a splash page if he wants to.
>>153635657she has my hairline in the last panel
>>153632783He draws pretty hot women.
>>153635897Sexooo
>>153635897Nice.
>>153631191Superman
>>153631191Uh, sure.
>>153632092Twilight is a fucking weird comic, I have no idea why it uses DC characters.
>>153635897To quote Moebius: "Son of a bitch!"
>>153635749Yikes
>>153631191He is the mandate and root for DC COMICS house style.
>>153640769I liked it but the ending seems to imply that they would do more Stories set in that universe but we never got anything.
>>153635657is tesla strong a good read?
>>153642660Tom Strong is good.
I never paid much attention to him as an artist, but read Superman: Kal the other day, and now I’m a fan
>>153642660tom strong is probably some the most fun I read in the 2000s, at worst its kinda meh, at best its peak kino.
>>153631191JONAH HEX with Michael Fleisher
>>153633243>>153634131>>153634399Picked up the whole series a few months ago for cheap, great comic, we need more pulp sci-fi comics that aren't connected to larger superhero universes.
>>153644165Been meaning to read that.
>>153631508Impressive collection
>>153646090Why haven't you already?
>>153647793Too much to read.
