I'd be happy to see a continuation of this or one for Who's Who. I've been listening to Who's Who: The Definitive Podcast of the DC Universe lately and enjoying it.

70 years old and still a master of the craft. I'm glad he didn't catch the Gil Kane madness. in his later years Gil Kane was known for using a Sharpie to do the bulk of his work, his style was still visible but it really suffered.

It's the facial variation that really gets me. Every person is unique and expressive, with appropriate emotions clearly visible in their expressions. It's a subtle thing, but it's so damned impressive compared to the vast majority of other artists.

I actually prefer the minimalism of late period Gil Kane over his earlier work. Some of those Marvel covers he did in the Seventies are really good though.

The MS Paint fill tool is a perfectly valid choice. :colbert:

For real though, the flow on those pages is phenomenal. The extremely subtle detail of cutting off the ferns in the top-left panel of the third page to create a borderless panel on the bottom... goddrat :allears:

There's a difference between minimalism and lack of care. His covers remained excellent but his pages were dire. Superman Distant Fires is I believe his final work on the character and it's just a sad, ugly book to look at.

I gotta be honest, some of the Clark and Perry faces are jarring.

Oh, I see. You’re talking really late, not just when he got really stylized like around the Sword of the Atom era. Early Eighties is when I first was reading Infantino and Kane, and that style consequently actually looks better to me than the fine line Joe Giella stuff.

I'm pretty sure there was a comic adaptation of the 1984 David Lynch movie.

Brian Herbert was shopping it around right after the Dark Tower comics dropped and exploded. Nobody bit on it because if you're even vaguely familiar with Dune you know how batshit crazy it gets by book 3.

As a kid I read the first book, and then because it was the only other Dune book in my school's library I jumped into God Emperor. No one should read God Emperor in general...

Edit: Holy poo poo, Marvel's adaptation of the Lynch film had art by Sienkiewicz. Why I have I not heard this before and read these comics?

That colorful ship in the thumbnail, I recognize that guy, I think I had a book of his stuff when I was a kid. Anyone know what his name was.

There was a GBS thread maybe last year that was full of 70s and 80s sci fi drawings, I love that poo poo.

That's pretty sad. I grew up with my dad's library of 50s-70s sci-fi novels, lots of those had some drat gaudy looking spaceships on them.

Some... "questionable" stories inside, but good spaceships.
