Art by John Cleary, from Boof #3 (1994). So many details to pick at. Mostly those hands, though.
John Cleary is a weird case in that I am pretty sure he's someone who has a grasp of art but came into the industry at the height of the Image House Style and tried to ape it because it was what The Fans Wanted, but by deliberately breaking all of the rules to resemble Liefeld/McFarlane/etc. it turned into an unholy abomination.

Apparently he was (before and after his brief run in comics art) primarily a sculptor, and his statues/toys bear no resemblance to Boof, his Bruise Crew, or Satan's Six.

I wouldn't call him a "fill-in" since he stays on the book for a full year. Apparently he left to do some miniseries about a racoon.

From what I can see he only did a few issues between Buscema and Byrne? He did do covers for a lot of them it looks like though. Although Monster is one of the character defining stories of Hulk. I did get to read Rocket's first appearance and I like that it wasn't just some wacky adventure with no consequences, it lead directly to Bruce Banner being in control.

Worst colouring work I've seen in a while in this week's Green Lantern Annual.



Steve Oliff's the colourist, and he's an old pro who's produced pages like this earlier in the series:

So I can only guess he was given about half an hour to do the Annual.

More likely he handed it off to some intern who barely had enough time to get it done for no credit and no extra payment.

Coloring is an underrated art and, as a person who has worked in printing a long time, I can confirm that being creative within the limits of the tech and the production methods is a big part of being an artist and a graphic designer.

These days, my main issue with color is that everything is too "hot" and "juicy" looking, for lack of a better way to put it.

It's wild to look at older comic book art and see all the registration issues and also being able to see where the black overprints everything but misses so many of the colors underneath it. It's hard to explain unless you've worked in the printing industry but often you can see what are meant to be solid areas of black that vary in their density because because the cyan, magenta and yellow behind the black just sort of "stops"

It's hard to see unless you're actually looking at a printed page.

I used to know a guy who did typographics in the 50s-70s. I never really understood a lot of his rants, but his big hatred seemed to be for digital printing getting letter shapes wrong because they were too accurately printing typefaces that had been designed knowing the printing ink would bleed slightly when pressed.

I think it’s just lack of effort. I have those giant Little Nemo books by Sunday Press and they intentionally reproduce how the strips appeared 100 years ago, imperfections and all.

sure, if you have some basic competency with the tools it's pretty hard to know for certain that something was colored digitally vs with some other tradart methods. visible brushmarks like you're seeing though, they're the kind of mistakes even the most inexperienced artist should not be making - e.g. me, I'm super inexperienced and I can see and understand the problem.

- Paint with a pen of some sort, not a mouse (unless you're suuuuuuuuper good with a mouse, and prepared to work a lot harder to get similar results to even a mediocre pen user)
- learn the basics of using your pen/tablet/whatever and make sure it's set up reasonably well, e.g. look at the loving preview of what your brushstroke is going to look like

that is not lack of effort, that's using really inappropriate tools and/or using them in stupid ways, it's something that should be more or less automatic for anyone past the novice stage of 2d art.

e: it shows how little the publisher cares when something that poor actually makes it to print

Yeah the specific issue with the shading in that bathtub isn’t something that comes from “they went really fast” it literally looks like someone who has like never used a tablet had it set up improperly and didn’t know how to fix it(or like others have said straight up just used a mouse without adjusting settings to compensate), like even the most basic default brushes in photoshop don’t do poo poo that bad looking if you have everything configured properly. My headcanon is that some artists computer died an hour before deadline and they went and finished the coloring on like a library computer with a mouse and old edition of gimp or something

The whole thing about modern coloring looking worse makes you confront the unfortunate reality that a lot of older stylistic decisions were made not because they thought it looked good but just because they were limited by technology, when people have access to digital art tools that can replicate any art style it’s easier to make bad choices. And yeah also deadlines are a hell of a thing

About fifteen years ago or so, the standard was to reuse the exact color values used originally when reprinting material. But newsprint is a dingy grey, spongy material so using the same color values on glossy white paper looked atrocious because the result was eye searingly bright (Hulk comic reprints were a good example of this because his green and purple color scheme really turned bad when they did this). A lot of people pointed out that this didn't work and eventually (we're talking ten years or so between the point that publisher stopped using newsprint and the time they got the message that this looked bad) some people began recoloring things. This typically went too far in the other direction, trying to go full modern with the coloring with heavy gradients applied to everything. The problem there is that the original art wasn't designed to take advantage of that kind of digital coloring and the result was also bad. It's fairly recent that the big publishers have finally got the message that they need to recolor their reprints but color them in a more subdued way that duplicates the original intention.
