I love Greg Land. Many artists trace reference photos I don't know why he gets excoriated for it. Sean Phillips does it-he even prints photos in bluline then inks over it-no one says a peep.

When I was a kid, I couldn't read Invaders comics because Robbins' art pissed me off. He pissed off my friends also. Worst Bronze Age artist.


Thank you. Same here. I loved the idea of the Invaders, but Robbin's art made me really angry. Just horrible.

Yeah, not feeling the hate for Greg Land. Besides, any number of other artists began their careers aping the style of another artist.

The whole tracing thing is interesting. Land seems more lazy than bad. The guy does have some talent. Is it any worse than what Lichtenstein did?

@Jerkfro No, it's not worse, it's just as bad.

On the other hand, every face Jim Lee draws looks the same and uses the same expressions.

The same can be said about Michael Turner's female faces. I think he used a template.

At least Jim Lees expressions fit the scenario.

Land doesnt even know what expressions are... just throw one of these...




Is she getting hurt? Is she Attacking? Is she Having an Orgasm? WHO KNOWS?!

I know when im sick with the flu i yell like i just had the best sex of my life.



Just throw porn faces on everything. who cares about context!

I like Don Heck (somewhat)... it's the house style of 61 to around 66 that I have just never cared for. Kirby, Ditko, Ayers, et al.

I think that might be why Daredevil is the only run of SA Marvel I've ever owned... Gene Colan and Wally Wood, for the win

Dick Ayers is terrible, and I'm not a Colan fan. Ditko and Kirby, yes please. If Wally Wood had done more than, what, 5 issues of DD it would make the run worth owning.

Both Ramos and Madureira are better than Land. But you know... your opinion is not any more valid than mine...

Its funny, i can always tell who is and isnt an artist by the way they "critique" art. Theres a difference between a "style" you dont like... versus legitimately bad art. Almost everyone here is confusing style with talent. You dont like more cartoony art... great. i dont like "realistic" art with bad proportions, lack of range of emotions, and artists who need to trace over and over and over. But lets all keep posting "Styles we dont like." Id like to see your art... and ill even show you mine.

Id Take this: (cartoony anime style)



Over This (no hipped, liefeld proportions.. lol)




I know when i get hit in the back of the head with a bat i have an orgasm.

Funny, I always judge someone's intelligence by their punctuation and ability to capitalize letters in a sentence.
