I think Herge/Georges Remy was influenced by George McManus and possibly Windsor McCay from the U.S. newspaper artists. When I look at the work of someone like Joost Swaarte I see as much McManus there as Herge. Here's some early McManus circa 1916-1918...  and from later in the 1930s...  |

Charles Schulz, followed by Curt Swan.

Hard to say, but John Byrne's art was what got me to start paying attention to the creator credits in comic books.

Thinking hard on this one I can't really say who was 1st recognized as I was capable of noting different artistic styles rather easily. I appreciated all of them but if forced to truly choose it would likely have to be an artist from the newspaper strips. Charles Schulz, Hal Foster, Burne Hogarth, Russ Manning, Al Capp, Walt Kelly, Chester Gould or some such.

Not to pik a nit but, it is easier to recognize comic strip artists because they worked on the same strips day after day. Recognizing Pat Broderick is more difficult in that his work spanned various books. I mean it's not like Charles Shultz drew 10 different strips over a 10 year stretch .

Plus inkers can radically change the equation, depending on how detailed the pencils were, how strongly the inker chooses to make his own distinctives known, etc. |

I find that the way an artist lays out the page , with distinct poses and angles ,is something that doesn't change after their first 4 or 5 years in the business. It's always been easy for me to spot an Starlin page because of that.

Probably Ditko, though not in a positive way, as I'm not a big fan of his work, especially the 70's (and 80's) stuff that I saw first.

Jack Davis--it was pretty easy to tell that the guy who worked for MAD was also doing those movie posters, Time and TV Guide covers, and billboards. Then Kubert, mainly from his Price Guide cover By that time, I was pretty much out of 4-color comics for a while, so when I was old enough to care, I was looking at undergrounds, ECs, and, like brutalis , newspaper strips--things that were pretty distinctive. And people like Wrightson, Kaluta, and Kubert, mainly from his Price Guide cover. Then when I was in college, Sunday Parade magazine had a Superman cover:  My one friend said "Swan cover." The other replied "Coletta inks." I was like, how the hell can you tell that? Every superhero comic looks exactly the same! From that point, I started picking up back issues from the LCS every week (since many DC books at this place were less than a buck) and learned to pick up styles. The turning point was when I saw this...  ...and "Gil Kane" just popped into my mind. Of course, except for Colan and Robbins, all 70s Marvels look the same to me. |

I think Carlos Ezquerra, there is nothing like his style that I know of, it stands out from the very stylised look of most superhero type comic artists, which makes me sad that won't see it or Strontium Dog again. But kinda don't want to either, a copy style won't be the same and anyone drawing him has lot to fill, not sure who want that task  |

I did recognise John Byrne's traits, such as how he draws buildings, rubble, etc. I do like his work. Before that, I think Eric Bradbury was the one:  |
