And Michael Turner was a decent artist just too "Image" styled. His covers were beautiful. Unfortunately he drew his women too waiflike for my tastes. But I looked back at his JLA and Avengers covers and they were pretty cool.

Ditko would have been great for 1950s future imagined/unknown before scientific advances but after the atomic age struck
for LOSH 60s/70s up feggudaboutit.

Ditko DC work above is interesting. It feels like the inkers chosen overpowered Ditko pencils. Except for the GL art which I liked. I also liked his Batman. I think that was on purpose. Ditko could tell a story visually and get to the emotional heart of the action, but I'm sure DC felt his style didn't fit Bronze Age expectations. Too bad.
Did anyone mention the Kirby Super Powers series yet?

I don't have anything handy, but... I've seen side-by-side comparisons between the pencils and the inks. Greg Theakston MURDERED Kirby's work on that series. You wouldn't know if all you saw was what was published, but when I was able to see how the art look BEFORE it was tampered with, altered to no good purpose, "MURDERED" is the word that comes to mind. |

^Batman, Robin, Hawkman, Green Arrow, Red Tornado, and Doctor Fate look fine. The rest look like they have whatever gave Robert Z'Dar his most prominent feature  |

The Win Mortimer Legion. Not quite right. Right! As someone who was reading the Curt Swan Legion (with George Papp and Pete Costanza thrown in occasionally), I found the switch to Mortimer very jarring. It took me several issues to get used to it. I will say, though, that Mortimer's Legionnaires looked more like teenagers to me, they had chubbier cheeks and bigger eyes...as opposed to Swan's perfect-featured mini-adult Legionnaires who looked like sculptures. But even so, I missed Swan on the LSH! |

Just awful. By Alex Maleev from Secret Invasion: Dark Realm That's stupefyingly terrible. Namor looks like some skeevy child molester you'd see mentioned in an Amber alert. Blechh.
Cei-U! I summon the barf bag!

Yeah I'm not a fan of Maleev's "gritty realism."

Didn't really bother with Action Comics (New 52) after issue #1....until I got a run of issues for about 40c each...this is not my Superman, it's Toothyman.
