I'm with tibbar.

people like charles burns, joe matt, chester brown, chris
ware, daniel clowes, dave mckean, dave cooper, bill
sienckewicz and others make stuff that's much more
interesting than this run of the mill male macho crap, which
the stuff you posted above is to me, at least.

mentioned i think are boring artists... im more into the
japanese influenced comic art, or straight up anime... its
not macho, they're super heroes... super!

the Donjon series is great, for one.

and all his L'Association stuff is even greater! :)

Points: 17716 Status: Lurker



Donjon is very good, yes - Sfar & Trondheim, both good
artists.

Trondheim has made an experimental comic also, "bleu"... it
is... well... imagine a "comic" without any cases, without
any real characters, without even any real things nor any
words, without anything but blue on the cover.

it is just a little book, all blue, with some abstract
coloured dots and shapes.

looks more like contemporary art than comic.

(it is an interesting concept art, but i haven't bought
it... ^^)

i've got one episode of "the fantastic adventures of
Lapinot" (lapinot = bunny, or something like that...), "the
colour of hell". it is good.

Someone from this board actually, reccomended dave cooper,

Chris ware is probably my favourite "comic artist". His work
is literary and thus places me above the scummy
proles by association.

:D

oh yeah, i NEED to read 'quimby the mouse' soon.

loved 'jimmy corrigan', though.

i'm not really a comic guy to be honest, but the work that
James O'Barr put into The Crow was brilliant

YOU MUST HAVE IT. If anything the attention to detail is
above and beyond even jimmy corrigan. Don't expect the same
kind of intertwined story, as there's no real narrative, but
the fragmentation of intimate moments of love, fear and
violence is just as powerful.

It's one of my favourite books, but i honestly can't read it
too often, same with jimmy corrigan. They're just too much
to take in without real concentration. I was kidding about
scummy proles but his books honestly do feel like heavy
literature; that's the way i treat them, anyway. I was
actually going to study jimmy corrigan for my english
literature course at college, but the exam board moderators
just weren't open minded enough :-/

If i'm reading comics for pleasure it's usually daniel
clowes or david rees.

Well if we're truly talking art, it's obviously Don
Lawrence, none of that computer colored crap can compare to
that.

Hergé is also sheer artistic brilliance.

I liked Jim Lee and the Kuberts. Because I used to REALLY
like the X-men. Lee's work on the recent Batman comics has
been nice too.

Barry Windsor Smith was another good one, I loved that
Weapon X miniseries, and his weird style.

Some of the people I like are...

Sam Kieth
Bill Sienckewicz
Dave McKean
David Mack (Kabuki book #5: Metamorphosis -- check it)
Joshua Middleton
Yoshitaki Amano

I'm really surprised someone would refer to McKean as
boring...

Todd McFarlane, as mentioned by Murray.

I used to read those, thought the stories were quite
interesting, that is - until I lost interest.

I liked the art that Greg Capullo did for Spawn more than
McFarlane's.
