Really??? I hate Kane's self-inking! Give me Wood, Anderson, Sinnott, Adkins, Janson, Sutton, Giella, Giacoia, even Colletta on inks instead of kane solo. The only thing he ever self-inked that I can remotely tolerate is the Ring of the Nibelung mini he did with Roy Thomas and Jim Woodring. Otherwise, blachh!
Cei-U! I summon the Pepto-Bismol!

Agreed. Kane strips every bit of flesh from his own figures when he inks them, especially later in his career. Though I'd rather see that than Colletta inking him. |

Each to his own .
My post was from earlier (Blackmark). But I liked Kane's later self inking. I thought it was an example of an artist who continued to grow late in his career. The line work gave it a more illustrative style.
The self inked Conans, the wonderful Superman specials and the Ring books all looked great to me.

See for me, those comics were not as attractive as say, His Name is Savage, or Blackmark, which came out in '68 and '71 (IIRC). I also remember liking a Kane story form that period called "Stand Proud the Warrior Breed" from Super DC Giant 15 which seemed like a "pilot" for a series that never happened. I loved that.  |

Yeah--I think he was often using markers in the 80s and later, which led to a lack of variety in line width. That would've killed the art for a lot of other people, but it worked with solid the construction and fluidity of his figures and strong composition.

I have stated that I did not like Ernie Chan on Buscema in Conan. But I liked when he drew and inked himself.  |

You can mark me down as another one that likes Kane inking himself.
What about George Perez? In his later work, I think I prefer his own inks, but the early stuff, which is my favourite period for him, we never got to see him ink his own pencils much, that I recall. So while I imagine I would have liked his own inks at that time as well, I can't say for sure. As it is, my favourite pieces of work by Perez would probably be some of the Avenergs issues inked by Pablo Marcos - the Ultron issue (#162), for example.

Anybody with any sense knows that Tom Palmer is one of the greatest inkers of all time. It's also not unusual for him to do finished pencils and inks over another artist's breakdowns. But on rare occasions, Palmer has done full pencils and inks on comics, like in these examples from House of Secrets #100 (1972) and Star Wars #87 (1984)...     |

I can't believe this just occurred to me, but along with Joe Kubert, two other prolific penciller/inkers were Russ Heath and Nicholas Peter Cardy. Rarely were they inked by anyone else but themselves. And rarely did they ink others' work. There are a few others in this category: Barks and Beck, for example. And they also wrote! Steranko, too, though given the relative paucity of his output, he doesn't belong with these others. In all of these cases, no one was really looking for anyone to ink these guys; they were ideally suited to be their own inkers. You don't really need examples, do you? Well, you twisted my arm. Heath:  Cardy:   Kubert:  |
