Yes! Carmine Infantino is another who had distinctive fingers/hands for people in his artwork. As well for the yellow insert editor and story text/information boxes (do those even have a name?) he personalized with hands!

I had a nasty case of Ditko Fingers once. I had to take a six week course of Romitalin, which cured me but unfortunately turned my hair to brown plastic.

Man, six pages on the this thread, and nobody, even when talking about Ditko, says anything about his lovingly rendered fingers? Or Ditko’s sense of developing atmosphere through using of lighting or fog/smoke/etc.

Ohhh I've got one, how about that "ridged" hairstyle he used for Sandman and the Osborns (and many extras as well)!
How about Romita replacing Peter's hair with a slab of Brown plastic? That 60s hair benefits from the wonder of... All kidding aside, I was going to post about Romita, but that's a "where to begin?" situation.

My apologies if my thread title's pun has anybody thinking this is a wrestling thread. It is not. Instead, what I hope to see is all of you internet picture browsing maniacs who love to post pictures taking the ball and running for the touchdown in showing pictures from all the great (and not so great) comic book artists showing off their own individual and unique art style specifics. Inspired from talk in another thread about how artists have their own shorthand or way of drawing things which is instantly recognizable as to knowing who the artist is that drew it, I thought this might make for an interesting subject. Since I cannot post images (thanks to my hospital's incredibly strong blocking/protection system) I shall throw out occasional thoughts and replies while the rest of you post magnificent images showing examples of artistic flair (woooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh). To start you all off, I have several suggestions but feel free to explore and express your own findings! Ditko: his wild and crazy jazz hands for characters, his rubber bandy legged poses, his fantasy/magical/other worldly scenarios and so forth. Kirby: who doesn't know and love Kirby Krackle? Squared fingers, imaginative machinery which nobody but the King knows what it does if anything, Kirby monsters and more. Gil Kane: the upshot face/head staring into the nostrils of the soul, heroically powerful posing (wrestlers must study Kane), the impact and follow through flow of a spectacular punch utilizing the entire body, Kane clothing and other such. Infantino: the lunge forward with fists/arms ready to strike, the falling backwards run/stop posture, angular faces, emptied/shaded city background with only windows showing, futuristic cityscapes and more. This is just the tip of a Titanic Iceberg (yes I went there) of artistic endeavors in which ALL artists drawing comic book/sequential art will adapt and stylize. Every artist from the early days of newspaper strips and through today's comics and graphic novels have their own unique sense of design, style and anatomy which so many of us can easily or not so easily identify, even when the artists name isn't there. Whether you like or loathe (yes, even the so called "bad" artists have traits we can recognize (looking at you Liefeld no feet in the panel) and can talk about. So let the image posting and discussions begin! Enter the fun... The first thing that popped up in my mind when I read the topic was ... WOOOOOOO !!! Ric Flair. Here's my two-cents for the thread: Michael Turner: His illustrations of all his characters comes out as super models. Ed McGuinness: His illustrations has everyone bulked up to the max on steroids and HGH. John Romita Sr.: You just look at his illustrations of women, and the women's faces you just fall in love with them as a teenager (i.e. Mary Jane Watson and Gwen Stacy).
