Why were Brits so good at making comics in the 80s through the 00s?Even the shitty ones like Millar found success through adaptations of his work.
>>156174895They read more than Americans. They're more intellectual. They take the craft of writing more seriously. They haven't had their brains eat by all the stuff Americans have had their brains eaten by.I do think there are a lot of talented Americans from that time period though.
>>156175025>thinly veiled seething
>>156174895It was just Alan Moore. Everyone else was an illusion.
>>156174895Steve Gerber was better than every British Invasion writer besides Moore
>>156175641Howard The Duck sucked and wasn't funny.
>>156175641I've been reading Gerber over the past few years, and I'm finding he really only has one great comic, and that's Foolkiller.I'd probably put him above guys like Millar, Ellis, Milligan, Delano, and Jenkins, though.>>156175654Howard the Duck is alright.
>>156174895Is there a name for this visual style? I really don't like it.
>>156174895They weren't. All of them came out with roughly the same story, told again and again with different characters. Some of them couldn't even resist putting the same fetish in multiple different stories.
>>156176272hyper realism
>>156176279I think it is dense pointilism.
>>156174895Why they give Dorothy that much ass in this image, why the focus there
>>156176342Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?Is a woman not entitled to the thicc of her cheeks?
>>156175641Steve Gerber is a crappy writer. Worse than even Mark Millar.
>>156176276Are you talking about American superhero writers?
>>156175025It seems like you’re stupider than Americans and I bet you haven’t even met one irl. I’m not an American if you’re wondering, but I might be in the future (or German).
>>156176272same, makes me uncomfortable
>>156174895Punk rock improves comics
>>156175025True based and real
The best ones just came over here 2000AD had a bunch of goofy stuff
>156175628I have Moore fanboy fatigue. Try reading something by Pat Mills or John Wagner or really anything other than the same handful of graphic novels published by DC in the 80s.
>>156174895Edgy Shit + Vague mysticism = Profitalso a more cinematic and dinamic art.
>>156176272it's just Glenn Fabry's very particular styleAnd this is pretty restrained for him, too
>>156174895So who's who here?John, obviously.Doom PatrolSwampyShadeSandman Dodds and Sandman MorpheusThe guy next to John, Animal Man?The one next to Morpheus?The one in the background?
>>156178610I'll answer myself:Next to Morpheus is Kid EterntiyNext to John has to be Animal Man, with the dog and catIn the background is Brother Power The Geek
>>156175025Yeah I'm sure Garth Ennis is a real intellectual
>>156179211Ennis is Irish, not British
>>156177558Mills and Wagner are nowhere near as good as Moore.
>>156176807I am american and strictly talking about comic book writers. Your insecurities tell me a lot though.
