I like Frank Robbins work. No apologies, no qualification; I flat out liked his Marvel work. I thought it was better suited to the 1940s-set Invaders than the modern Cap; but, he got superheroes just fine, in that book. To me, he gave an energy to the characters, with the rubbery movements, that most of the other artists who worked on the series lacked. His Cap fighting Nazis was the closest, for me, to Kirby's Cap fighting crowds of Nazis. He also did a damn good Batman and wrote some tremendous mysteries there. Back to Invaders, Robbins brought to mind those Alex Schomburg covers that inspired the series, with the heroes smashing planes, swatting crowds of German soldiers, and fighting weird Nazi science. Robbins knew how to present pulp and pulp is what The Invaders was.

YAY to seing Robbin's support. I always loved his quirky stylistic action anatomy. Exaggerated and rubbery yet completely comic book visualization. I will take Robbins bombastic artwork over today's talking heads anytime! Invader's drawn by him kicked all sorts of ass, not just Nazi's!!!

From Marvel Team-Up Annual #4 by Herb Trimpe and Mike Esposito I thought a Spider-Man Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon got loose. Plus, that's generic Marvel art at its "best." Proof that everybody can be Sal Buscema.  |

You guys are tough! I actually like the art in that issue! Sure, it's a little goofy-looking... But it's not scratch-your-eyes-out bad like the Liefeld Enchantress or Manboon Cap!
The only time I didn't like Trimpe's art was precisely when he tried to ape the Lee-Larsen-Liefeld aesthetics, toward the end of his career at Marvel. I much preferred his kinda Kirbyish style.

Was that Trimpe image a full page in the original comic or just one of several smaller panels? As it is, yes Spider-Man's head looks weird, but everything else looks fine to me.

The BG's and Luke Cage are pretty good in that one.

Have not followed all the posts on this thread but I'm sure it can use more Humberto Ramos needles-in-eyeball "art"   |
