About a year or two here in this forum ... I felt Steranko was an artist that spent too much time looking at it and I find his style wasn't my cup of tea and now with my friends at my LCS started to change things and started to enjoy his work more. I would put him in the top 10 for sure and I find Starlin a tad lower than Steranko. Both are good and as far between Nick Fury and Adam Warlock and you asked me one question ... Who you like better? ... I would say Adam Warlock by a country mile because he fascinates me more than Nick Fury ever do.

This is easier than the Byrne vs Perez thread...Steranko by a mile.

Take this as coming from someone who can draw stick figures with 40% accuracy..
Steranko's a wildly creative artist, but his actual drawing chops aren't that hot for a pro. There are lots of weirdly posed figures and his basic figure drawing is kind of weak. At least in his stuff for Marvel, which is really all I'm familiar with.
So Starlin, because he's the better draw-er. And his tricky panels and weird experimentation seem to fit the emotional core of the story, rather than writing stories ABOUT tricky panels and weird experimentation.
(I really, really like Steranko, though.)

lovely well-considered replies, guys, and wonderfully respectful to both luminaries of the field.

Starlin for a few reasons; I'm more interested in his subject matter, he makes stronger dramatic connections for the personal journeys his characters undertake.
Though this may be blasphemous, I'm a bigger fan when Starlin teams up with another artist. Some of my favorite works by him have been through his collaboration with the great (and seemingly underappreciated) Ron Lim.

I thought I was the only one who thought that. |

I can sympathise with this feeling if we limit it to Starlin's work since around the early 1980s, because I don't like the look of his art after that. But the earlier Starlin is still a favourite of mine, both as artist and as writer. |

to be fair to both auteurs, i feel Starlin was visually/graphically 'more trippy', while Starlin's concepts were yummier-grippier-trippier, particularly when it came to how Adam defeated the Magus. and dealing with the in-betweener.

Was one of those supposed to be Steranko or is it Starlin ahead in both aspects for you? -M |
