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. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont really see that personally... and the names you 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! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ps, not saying that those other artists are shit, they're really good, just not my taste at all |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't know if he really is a comic artisst, but Druillet is great and all. Yes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh I know, you can't really compare them, they're like two different groups.. :) |
||||||||
|
|

oh Fabien! I need your French help for something! is that e-mail adress in your profile correct? |
||||||||

|
|
What is a comic artisst? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
btw, I really like Lewis Trondheim, who supposedly is quite popular in France, no? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like Lewis Trondheim. (and yes, Druillet is quite impressive...) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow, i even posted this without seeing qrter's reply!! how incredibly coincidential. i lke you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I guess he is popular, yes. And good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the Donjon series is great, for one. and all his L'Association stuff is even greater! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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, and hes one of my favs at the moment... But id go with alan moore. Also, Powers by bendis and oeming is quite good imo. |
||||||||

i like vincent segrelle |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that someone was ME!! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all thosae fantagraphics books are so uch better than 95% of the superhero stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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. |

Todd McFarlane (spelling?) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no one mentioned Dave McKean?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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. |

Jim Davis. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes I did. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the spawn comics look pretty I reckon, but I don't have a clue who did it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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. |
