I just read that entire run, and Jimenez's George Perez-esque art came as such a pleasant surprise and relief after Quitely and Kordey, whose art I vehemently disliked.

Kordey you have to remember that he was given a week to do an issue, plus all the other work he had to do. So I forgive his art.

Never bring a duck to a cock fight.
Guy Davis' art in BPRD made it one of the most distinctive books around for almost a decade.



He draws the best giant horrible monsters since Mignola:



The transformations/body horror is practically Cronenberg-ian:



And no one else does destroyed hellscapes like this:



It makes me really sad that he hasn't really put anything out since he left BPRD back in 2011.

Guy Davis is probably best-known now for his work on BPRD (the Hellboy spinoff), but my favorite series he worked on is Sandman Mystery Theatre, a pulp-noir period piece from Vertigo set in the late '30s and early '40s.

If you can find it, he drew some insane sci-fi/noir stuff on an obscure Dark Horse miniseries called The Nevermen. Really weird, cinematic series from about a decade ago.

Also check out his two The Marquis books by Oni. Easily the best stories about a Victorian Gothic demon hunter who may just be a delusional psychotic that you can get.

Holy poo poo this thread is incredibly infuriating to read, I came in here going "oh snap good thread topic, let's see some hilarious poo poo and some incredible artistry, probably gonna find myself a new favourite!" and it's mostly 57 pages of people praising tacky superhero shlock and comparing it with badly drawn superhero shlock.

Alright! Maybe I will! They're pretty pedestrian though and have probably shown up here before, I'm only halway through the thread.

Let's start with a superhuman artist, Mike Mignola. Dude is from another loving planet, look at that poo poo. (And these are pretty boring pages!)







The man has such an incredible understanding of 3d shape and form and geometric simplification, everything looks like he makes loving wood carving figures beforehand, hangs them up with string and lights them professionally in a photo studio and then draws from that. He has an uncanny understanding of how awkward the male body actually is, the froglike shape of a hugeass ribcage and slim feet, the way he protrudes out the cheekbone and forehead of characters. Those amazing compositions with lights and darks, the bold simplicity. In a way the man is the absolute antithesis to everything I hate about how the majority of comics look and for that I'm deeply grateful he exists and does what he does. I guess I'm strangely opinionated on that stuff.
Also look at how incredibly stupid Hellboys design is and how horrible it looks when anybody else draws the guy but when Mignola does it it's incredible.

Another guy I like is a french dude who goes by Bengal. Nice flowy lines and interesting colours, pretty and easy on the eyes and but nothing really special. His angles and compositions are fantastic though and his technogadgetry looks cool. But it's all about angles and how he can use viewpoints and scenery to make a mundane girl-tying-up-her-hair scene look incredible. (No actual mundane girl-tying-up-her-hair scenes depicted)






(last one's just an illustration I had lying around, can't find many pages of his)

A guy I absolutely hate is another frenchman that's pretty popular and apparently admired for his craft and art: Enki Bilal.



Apparently he makes good comics but it's impossible to read when it looks like that. Look at that poo poo. Tacky 90s fashion model cheekbones, looks like the kinda poo poo that 'that guy that can draw from your high school class' would draw with a ballpoint pen on his notebook margins. That rubbed out white pencil pastel texture clashing with ink and charcoal and pencil and watercolour or gouache and whatever else the guy uncontrollably pours onto the paper into a tacky "expressive" mess.

A piece from my favorite artist, Pat McEown, who doesn't do nearly enough comics. I think this appeared in the last Madman special like a year or two ago. This is a scan of the original art and you can see a little bit of pencil in there. That's fun.

I mentioned BOOM's Fall of Cthulhu series in another thread. It has extremely inconsistent art. I actually think the writing is decent for the most part (even if they misspell R'lyeh constantly); if you like Lovecraftian horror, it's worth checking out. But man, the art.

So, it starts out with a character investigating The Dreamlands following the suicide of his uncle. In the first volume, the real world and the Dreamlands each have a different artist working on them, which I thought was a really interesting idea. The story introduces a demi-god named The Harlot, who is easily the high point of the whole affair; she looks creepy as gently caress and the surreal artwork/colouring really makes these segments stand out.



Now here's the second volume...

Pretty sure that's exactly what they did. The shadowing indicates a different light source (and angle and placement) for each character.
