Title: Best Comic Book Artist?
Post by: Ash on October 05, 2008, 10:26:41 PM
Can't remember if this was discussed here on the board before. 
I was looking through some comic artists websites and was blown away by some of the cool artwork.  I wish I was able to draw/paint like that.  Unfortunately, drawing was never my speciality.  I remember trying when I was younger and everything I attempted to draw ended up looking awful. 


So far, my favorite is probably Greg Horn.  He's drawn for many Marvel comics such as Elektra, She-Hulk, X-Men etc...

I love the paintings he does of Emma Frost.  (he makes her look so damn hot! :thumbup:)
Here are some samples of his work:

How about you?
Got a favorite comic book artist?

Pretty much all the guys from Mad Magazine throughout the years.   Mort Drucker (perhaps my favorite), Al Jaffee, Sergio Aragones, etc.  I'm also big into horror comics artists, some of which Anubis already listed.  :thumbup:
