#131 Al Jaffee

His fold-ins are certainly cool, but no one draws dog shit as well as Al Jaffee… in spite of the fact that dog shit doesn’t usually look like soft serve ice cream. Go figure.

Howard the Duck only looks right when Mr. Colan draws him. Gene Colan always seemed out of place to me in Marvel Comics… his art looks much more grounded in life and life drawing than any of his contemporaries. These days he is doing elaborate pencil drawings for his fans (like the fantastic pirates pictured above)… don’t miss his amazing galleries.

#138 Frank Quitely

Frank Quitely’s work is usually wild, fast-paced, cinematic and detailed… with a strong dose of trippy cartooniness bending it at the edges. He is a frequent collaborator with author Grant Morrison, and they do great stuff together. My favorite thing they have collaborated on is the brilliant Flex Mentallo, which tragically will probably never be reprinted due to legal pressure from Charles Atlas, if you can believe that.

#139 J.H. Williams III

J.H. Williams III collaboration with writer Alan Moore on Promethea was beautiful and mind-bending… some of the most gorgeously drawn meta-comics ever attempted. Being a super-genius, Moore gets much of the (well-deserved) credit for the success of Promethea, but few other artists could have done so much with his psychedelic scripts.
