Mike Ploog. I believe he had been an assistant to Will Eisner. Say, I had never noticed but there is something Eisneresque about Ploog's art! (And I definitely see that as a good thing!) |

 This is not the work of Gene Colan. It's the notorious Greg Brooks, from DC's Crimson Avenger miniseries of the 1980's. |

Wow, yeah...he's really got Kirby's ability to make all women look like ugly, contorted, overly-butch monsters down pat. 
Quickly runs out of the room before anyone can throw something at him.Wash your mouth out with soap! I agree that people who imitate Kirby cannot get it right. Kirby isn't about thick fingers or sharp shadows. He's about personality that bursts out in the art. He's about the story. Oh, Kirby's art has personality in spades, no arguments there. For me Kirby draws the most beautiful women because they are real. They have personalities. Each is an individual. They're not just male minds in porn star bodies, like in so many modern comics.  That's an interesting way of looking at it -- like I'd expect any less from you.  I agree that Kirby's ladies are more realisticly proportioned than the "porn stars with capes" that we see in modern comics. I dunno though, if I were living in a Silver Age comic, I'd definitely be saving myself for a Romita lady -- or even a Ditko one! -- rather than a Kirby "babe". |

I think Warren Sattler's art had a Joe Kubert vibe.

Don Heck had a little Kirby thrown in his pages...  |

 Griffen would later admit to worshiping this guy, but refused plagiarism accusations. |

I think Mark Schultz is a fine artist, but when i look at his stuff, I think, "Here's Frazetta, here's Williamson, here's some Wood, here's some Raymond..." but I never see anything (apart from specific character likenesses) that says "Here's Schultz!"  A lot of--probably most--talented artists start out emulating their favorites, but it's odd when their own style doesn't start to assert itself. |

Don't want to know who posed for the turtles. |

There was a time when I thought Steve Epting was a Fake name for John Buscema. The artwork was very similar during his Avengers run.  |

There was a time when I thought Steve Epting was a Fake name for John Buscema. The artwork was very similar during his Avengers run. That's because Tom Palmer was inking both and dominating both their styles-that wasn't Buscema you were seeing in the similarity, it was Palmer's heavy-handed inking. Palmer is one of the greats, but when he is doing full finishes (as with Buscema who did only breakdowns for much of that second Avengers stint) and working with young artists not in a position to assert themselves, his style is to dominate the art and the finished product looks like Palmer more than the artist underneath the inks. Once Epting got a little more experience and got out form under Palmer's brush, his style really started to assert itself and become much more recognizable as his. -M |

Yes, I surmised that but there were genuine pages that were Buscema facilmiles in poses and power that Epting drew.
