I met Rob Liefeld at a Con in 2009 (Baltimore I believe). He was really a nice guy and laughed at my question about how big a character Deadpool became. But he was nice and signed 2-3 books. Yes he has issues as that image above shows us. But I do like that on some things his work has the "pop" to it . Like when he did Teen Titans for 2-3 issues. It had a weird POP to it.

How to draw women the Rob Liefeld way....   It's amazing that someone took the time to make this Image to rip Liefeld. |

The are definitely some similarities between Art Adams and Rob Liefeld, but I actually LIKE Adams' work.

Amongst comic fans,for every generation there is an artist who is the whipping boy for derision.Currently it looks to be either Liefeld or Land
Back in the late 60s and 70s it was unquestionably Don Heck.You can agree or disagree whether he deserved it and I know some of you are fond of his art but I'm telling you he was that generation's Liefeld
Who do you recall as the 80s or 90s go-to guy for bad art as far as the majority of fan sentiment?

Interesting. I considered Don Heck to be the definitive Avengers artist for most of my youth. Not sure about 80's-90's, but certainly Greg Land gets a lot of harsh comments these days. |

I'll admit it, I actually enjoyed Rob's Hawk & Dove mini-series back in the late 80's.  |

He let Alan Moore write Supreme. And that's all I got.  |

LOL, when you're young, everything is faster ,taller more beautiful. Actually , I started reading the Avengers reprints and the first 20 issues or so around the 70's and he was the guy that built the feel of the team along with Lee and Thomas. |

I felt Heck lost his magic when he worked for DC. Greg Land was great in BOP but nowadays he's killed for, what is considered to be, tracing from photos. |

I remember reading that the books that Liefeld drew experienced sales bumps. Teen Titans was one of them.

It is fun to poke fun at Liefeld's work (omg Jez, that pic is hilarious lol), but I will say that the guy inspired hundreds of copycat artists throughout the 90's. Not saying those comics were successful, but the fact that he inspired people to pick up a pencil and give it a shot was pretty impressive.

Can you name anyone still working in the industry that sites Liefeld as an influence?
