Along with the rest of the comic book community, I was devastated upon hearing the news that John Paul Leon passed away last week, at only 49 years old, after his third bout of cancer. He was a consummate artist, a classical draughtsman, admired by his peers, and was by…
Continuing the countdown of my top-five favourite comic book artists (after Stan Sakai and Bill Sienkiewicz), we reach Walter ‘Walt’ Simonson, the man who made Thor awesome, among many other contributions to the world of comic books. I was a big X-fan starting out in the world of superhero comic…
This is next in the list of my favourite comic book artists, which started with Stan Sakai. The artist is different from the previous as well as the remaining people on the list: Bill Sienkiewicz, the man whose art style shook the mainstream comic book industry and showed what could…
