That's impressive to you? Seriously?
It's about the same level of quality as the better stories in the Tales of the Crypt magazine, except instead of giving characters realistic faces to go with the realistic bodies, you have the weirdly angled faces and razor sharp noses.

James Stokoe, Moebius, Alex Ross, JH Williams 3, Will Eisner.

>>34755467
Enki Bilal, Philippe Druillet, and a ton of guys from 2000AD in the 90s

There are far too many to narrow down to 5

We've got folks like Luc Schuiten.

>>34755490
Fuck your shit, Hideout is a feast on the eyes.

Impressive? that? wtf OP dont pretend to be representing /a/ please. I´m ashamed

Go read Berseerk please, or try anything by masamune shirow, for body/scenario and detail respectively.

As for impressive from /co/ I recommend you get Superman: Peace on Earth and maybe Batman: War on Crime, just to begin.

Batman vs Predator (THE FIRST CROSSOVER) is also excellent

And the François Bourgeon, who worked extremely close to photorealism in the last two books of the Passengers. No idea if that still counts as visually impressive though.

>>34755544
I've read Berserk, you asshat. It's also one of the most impressive. Hideout's style just works for its story, and its attention to detail is wonderful. Personally, I think Vagabond is the pinnacle of manga art, and Inoue the finest mangaka.

> yet another attempt to spread /a/ cancer

Bernie Wrightson did horror stories in the 70's.
This is from Frankenstein

>>34755603
That's pretty fucking awesome, and right up my alley.

There's also Hermann, who started out with having a knack for drawing weather phenomenas and only got better and better at it.

Barry WIndsor-Smith did tons of Conan in the 70/80s
And his Weapon-X story in Marvel Comics Presents was god tier

>>34755490
>you have the weirdly angled faces and razor sharp noses
Now you're complaining about something commonplace in most, if not all manga? Cool.

>>34755623

FEAR THE HAT

>>34755625
That's the point. Art like in the OP was very common in the horror books like Tales From The Crypt and House of Mystery...except the faces weren't silly manga faces.

Swamp Thing has always been known for it's better-than-average art

Mignola and Fegredo on Hellboy for old school pulp look that's sweet.

For sheer beauty, Segrelles's absolutely gorgeous El Mercenario/The Mercenary.

>>34755644
That still doesn't detract from Hideout artistically. Its style may be similar in theme, but it has its own identity, and it is fucking nightmare fuel.

obligatory Alex Ross

noone does the Big Red Cheese better

Impressive how exactly?
If we're talking about gorgeous/detailed art then:
James Stokoe (Orc Stain)
Axel Ross (Kingdom Come)
Alessandro Barbucci (Sky Doll)
Juanjo Guarnido (Blacksad)
Duncan Fegredo (That last major Hellboy saga)

If instead we're talking about artists who create amazing pages through brilliant panel layout which would be impossible in any other medium:
Frank Quitely (We3; pic related)
J H Williams (Batwoman Elegy)
Will Eisner (The Spirit)
Jonathan Hickman (The Nightly News)
Dave Sim (Cerebus)

>>34755683
I'll be building a folder, so any and all suggestions would be welcome.

Rob Liefeld

>>34755700

>>34755795
Juanjo Guarnido

I really enjoyed the art for The Amazing Screw-On Head.

>>34755814

You should always name the colourist, too

>>34755820
Duncan Fegredo

Like the list for a thread like this is insane.

So I am just gonna post a ton of art.

Frank Millar

Jean Paul Leon

Can some explain exactly why people find Alex Ross a good comic artist? I get it for posters and covers and what have you but for Sequential Storytelling his stuff is so terrible.

>>34755866
>Frank Millar
criminal scum

>>34755849
And now for those with a got-tier page layout...
though Williams excels at both gorgeous art and composition

Danke schön, /co/. Bumping with VS.

>>34755866
Frank Miller* (I feel like I could just fill this thread with just Miller)

>>34755869
Why are the celestial here ?

>>34755870
I had the latest Millar book I had on the brain for this because JG Jones is also incredible.

Maybe he doesn't qualify in the sense of having particularly pretty art, but Steve Purcell has some really distinctive stuff. Incidentally, people overlook Toybox, which has better art than Sam and Max, though follows the same basic style.

Geof Darrow

Rob Schrab (posting any single page of SCUD is a disservice to how great the whole thing flows but this is a pretty great showcase)

Jean Giraud

We are including Europeans in this right?

Brandon Graham

>>34755913
that's sci-fi, so it's Moebius.

Brandon Mccarthy

>>34755873
Will Eisner

>>34755879
It's a shame what happened to him... he used to be one of the most talented comic artists out there. Some pages of Sin City where absolutely GORGEOUS... then he went batshit insane, and his talent disapeared along with his sanity.

Chris Weston

Jim Steranko

Frank Quitely

>>34755923
We are gonna completely disagree then because DK2 and Holy Terror are GORGEOUS comics.


Bill Sienkiewicz

>>34755892
Toybox is the stuff with Suda and that rat Ernie, right?

The Christmas one for the Hellboy Christmas Special was fucking weird.

Fabio Moon

Mike Huddlestone

Gabriel Ba

I always forget exactly what of the brothers work each of them did.

>>34755923
Jonathan Hickman. Some people dislike him for if very unconventional style... which I admit is pretty intimidating for new readers, and takes a while to get used to. But when you do, you can't help but to apreciate it's brilliance

Kyle Baker

Ashley Wood

>>34755957
Forgot pic

Karl Kerschl

Paul Pope

I tend to prefer his work in Black & White but I have never had reason to get scans of either of them and google image search is terrible.

>>34755971
Finally Dave Sim.
Now this one is especially wierd; not as much as Hickman, but you'll occasionally find yourself turning the comic around to read it, or suddenly the comic will turn into a book...

>>34756006
Well, since we got a pretty good thread going, I'll just keep posting some more of my favorite artists:

Here's Charles Burns, the best /co/ horror artist IMO. If you want to read some trully fucked up shit, read Black Hole

enrique breccia did some swamp thing for vertigo

Raphael Grampa

>>34755832

The layout is great, the actual drawings are only serviceable.

You folks are forgetting Simon Bisley!

John Cassaday is another dude who it is hard to pick a single image that sums him up. This is just my favorite issue of Planetary.

Chris Sprouse

>>34756061
Skootie Young, AKA the only american comic artist who remembers how to draw childern's comics... and gorgeous ones at that

Jack Kirby.

John Byrne

>>34756092
Ryan Ottley. Artist of Invincible, who draws some of my favorite fight scenes

>>34755467

Jim Rugg

>>34756127
Already been posted. But I used to LOVE Frank Miller before he went insane

Also, why all the hate for OP's pic. I like it, reminds me of Tales From the Crypt

David Mazzucchelli

I read that manga OP, didn't find the story or visuals to be too impressive. Also, it should've been a short story, maybe then it would've been more effective.
Anyway, there's a lot of European comics I found very impressive. Moebius' work, Blacksad, and many many others. Comics artists in Europe take their time and it shows.
I wonder what counts as impressive though? For example, I wouldn't consider Mike Mignola's art impressive - his drawing skill is a bit limited (At least when you compare him to Duncan Fegredo, who's ability is truly impressive) but it's extremely effective, without the need for excess details to "wow" the reader.

Steve Ditko

Gary Panter

John Romita Sr.

Frank King

Herge

Brendan McCarthy

>>34756172
David Petersen, from Mouse Guard.
Excelent coloring, and surpisingly expressive characters, concidering they're mice with minimal facial features

>>34755873
>though Williams excels at both gorgeous art and composition

I dont angree. His compositin gets often in the way of storytelling

Michael Kaluta

We should archive this thread. It's a great reference sampler for someone who's trying to get into comics from an art perspective.

>>34756253
I'd agree. I think it depends on who is writing the book.

Promethea for all its labyrinthine layouts never lost its flow. Neither did those two book ends of Seven Soldiers.

Dave Gibbons for Watchmen.
Not as much for the art, but the comic has the closest thing I've ever seen to a perfect page composition, though that might have been more because of Moore

Also, sorry for small picture

Adam Hughes.

Jeffrey Catherine Jones now the Studio is complete

I could look for a complete page but to me this is such a perfect representation of David Lloyd on V For Vendetta it is so perfect.

Wendy Pini. The first artist I latched onto as a child.The first one I bothered to learn by name. Of course as I got older I learned many many more. But she was the first.

>>34756305

>>34756380
Travel Foreman for the New 52's Animal Man. Another one of those with impressive art (when it comes to fucked up monsters) and composition... shame he left the series so early on...

Cameron Stewart

>>34756305
It's Gibbons' book too, he deserves a little motre credit than that.

I'll stop posting Kirby art after this last page. It's just such a well-crafted fight scene. Even Stan Lee can only manage a few lines of awkward narration.

Sean Phillips

Ryan Sook

Frazer Irving

>>34756444
Mike Mignola from Hellboy, who's are does an excelent job at settting an atmosphere of desolation.
And with him I think I'm all out of pics... great thread, everyone!

Forgive me the Seven Soldiers indulgence but that book is such a marvelous artistic showcase.

Doug Manke

>>34756457

Not to take away from Gibbon's contribution, but doesn't Moore often write how he envisions a scene in his scripts? I remember they posted a part of his script for Miracleman in one of the issues. It was an entire page dedicated to how a single bench should look.

Simone Bianchi

>>34756457
Oh I'm sure he does. I just didn't know exaclty how much of it was thanks to Moore, rather than Gibbons.

>>34756483
That doesn't even take into account the world building that goes into it before the script stage which they have both talked about being a very collaborative effort.

Also it is no small feat to do 9 panel grid for that many pages and make it that engaging and engrossing that is ALL Gibbons.

Yannick Paquette

Chris Burnham

Here I have a quote relating to this >>34756509

>You know what pisses me off? Every single time I see the phrase “Alan Moore’s Watchmen“. And now that the movie is a couple weeks away I see it constantly. Watchmen is the work of two people – Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. Anyone that’s ever read an interview with either man knows that it is clearly the work of two people bouncing ideas off each other. The clockwork symmetry of the page design? Gibbons. The Black Freighter? Gibbons. Electric hydrants brought on by Dr. Manhattan’s existence leading to technological advance? Dave Gibbons. The lack of thought balloons and expository captions? Dave Fucking Gibbons. In a book built on visual motifs and themes, and no matter how infinitely complex (and/or overwritten) Moore’s scripts are, there’s only one man who drew the fucking book. Dave Gibbons is one of the most profound storytellers in the art form, and the guy gets slanted more than most. The language of mainstream comics of the past 20 years is all down to a few people and Dave Gibbons is one of the most important. Every time you mention Watchmen without Dave Gibbons, you’re showing how little you understand comics.

That isn't "BLAME!", are you even trying, OP?

>>34756483

http://home.insightbb.com/~fourcolorheros/free/WatchmenScript.pdf

He does go into a lot of detail how he wants things to look but I remember that in V for Vendetta he wrote some "making of" stuff in the end of it, and he really stressed how much of a collaboration it was between him and the artist.

Ashley Wood

since op is faggot who wanted to troll i'll post some great manga art by Tsutomu Nihei

Paul Gulacy

>>34756475
I love Mike's adherence to old school grit pulp comics, and I love the basics of his own style on it, but I have to say Duncan managed to take Mike's own take on pulp and really make it fantastic. I'm going to miss him doing the main arcs when Hellboy In Hell finally drops. Though with as surreal as I'm hoping the upcoming arcs are, it might be a chance for Mike to breathe a bit. Though Duncan and others will still be doing short pieces from before the Cavendish Hall incident, so it's all good. Still curious to see if Mike ever finishes his rumored short bit about Hellboy's first communion; all he said of it was it was essentially a short talky piece mostly about Bruttenholm and Hellboy bonding, and those are some of my favorite bits.

If only his personality didn't suck.

WOLK: So, for these four-page stories, would he give you a phone-book-sized script?

O’NEILL: They were always very detailed! Pat Mills was notorious for that as well — some artists wouldn’t work with Pat because he gave them too much detail — but Alan was even more so. It’s always horribly fascinating to me to look at the people who ignore his descriptions, because they end up with this disconnected artwork, like that Woody Allen film where he did new subtitles for a Japanese film. It’s just odd. It very rarely happens with Alan’s stuff. Alan’s scripts are, I’ve said many times before, incredible blueprints, but there’s room to maneuver and design. Alan draws anyway, so he’s very pictorial in his descriptions.

>>34756654
He is one of those dudes who I like more when he is read than when I am looking at static seperated single pages so it was hard to find an image for.

Also his style has devolved since his days on Authority.

Thomas Ott, best european Horror artist IMO.

Though that's really impressive about him isn't only the excelent art, nor the creepy atmosphere, nor the fact that all of his stories are mute, but rather how he does his drawing:

There's no ink in that page, all of his art is done by scraping black paper with a cutter of something

One of my favorite moments in the whole series

José Luis Garcia Lopez (still kickin'). His expressive figure work rivals that of Eisners, and has a wicked understanding of anatomy.

Sean Murphy, who did Joe the Barbarian is actually one of my favorites

Jack Davis, one of the EC comics old guard. I love the boundless energy of his linework, and his character designs were very down-to-earth.

James Gurney, Dinotopia.

Calling his work magnificent would be selling it short. He worked as an artist for National Geographic, painting lost cities that no longer existed. Every page of Dinotopia is a full sized amazingly detailed painting. Some of his work hangs in the Smithsonian.

Jorge Zaffino, very moody work. A rough and gritty style that suits the stories he's worked on perfectly.

I never thought I'd see the where /co/ would become love again!
Also Eric Powel; The Goon

the main reason I got into comics was the art and the storytelling.

You people named all the artists I adore and then some

I love you people

Jason, who works with little but achieves so much. Great sense of pacing.

Cam Kennedy. Crazy sense of action, draws some of the most intense shootouts in comics.

adam kubert.

Nuts. I thought because I loved him so goddam hard, he was at least a bit popular.

>>34761684
>moreso for his writing than his art

Really?

>>34761746
I would say so. Mike Allred discussions are usually about Madman, which most people like primarily for the writing.

>>34761554
None of the above. Anon from ND here who happens to like the artwork. Figured id post it for shits and giggles.

so... where's /a/'s response?

>>34762016

OP here, don't be such a faggot. /a/ and /co/ are perfectly capable of mutual admiration and respect for each others mediums. This thread is about visually extraordinary comics, and artist. If you want great manga and mangaka, go make a thread on /a/. Although, somehow I doubt the thread will be this prolific.

Comics have a rich history boasting exceptional artists from every corner of the globe, and manga, albeit localized to Japan, Korea (manwa), and even China (manhua), still can offer rich illustrations to complement complex plots, and unique characters.

Thanks again, /co/, I have a shit ton of intriguing comics to wade through, filter, and then read. It's a very welcome distraction from the vacuousness of my daily life.

i think the thread reached its image limit, and i still wanted to post Arthur Ransen and Steve McNiven. Anyone want to make part 2 of this thread?

>Frank Miller before he went insane
What?!
Explain.

you should check Abhishek Singh a great artist

>>34755961
Poser art != good artist.

>>34762669
yes, abhishek, your work is actually erally pretty, but you shouldn't pretend you're not you self-promoting.

>>34762643
I think he's referring to how 9-11 affected Miller.

>>34763037
Ignore that anon's example. Stick with the stuff he did prior to using poser.

>>34763037
His stuff with poser is Baker just experimenting, his art on Pastic Man, Nat Turner, Why I hate Saturn and I die at midnight is amazing

>>34762669
Have you ever read Why I Hate Saturn?
Hes fucking magnificent when he's trying

>>34762592

we have a bigger limit now, try again.
