hmm I almost agree but elevate JRJR to good if not high tier. Mezieres and Cooke to high tier. Frazetta didn't draw many comics or many great comics but he's probably my favourite illustrator of all time so I'll allow it.
Frank Miller is God Tier in my world.

I also feel like Miller is a living legend, and even his 'sketches' are iconic simplifications.

This is based on what exactly? A lot of the list would change if your criteria includes their composition and panel work and it's not fair to others because of their predominantly comic strip format. Toddfather is always No.1, baby. A number those in Low, OK and Good should be moved 1 or 2 slots higher. Also, Darwyn > Bruce. Always.

Missing Hal Foster, Bernie Wrightson, Steve Rude, Alex Toth and Glenn Fabry.

God Tier or High Tier should also include Wally Wood and Sean Gordon Murphy as well. Sean's stuff on Batman White Knight was stylistically excellent and Wallace Wood draws some of my favorite comic book style women.

Why do people glaze Jack kirby?

/beg/ expressions, proportions all over the place, bad perspective, ugly
>>
>>7927071
Personally, I love his character designs and how striking his panels are. He has had such a big influence on superhero comics that he pretty much defined that art style for years. His artwork must be viewed in the context of the era. Back then, he was the only one drawing like that.

It was considered trash back then, it's only now that people have started pretending like mass produce formulated comic illustration have a lot of artistic merit.

His panels are super basic, I've seen much more creative paneling that predate kirby's by decades

You got filtered. Cartoons don't don't need to look like loomis. You wouldn't understand it

Kirby's figure drawing? Actually based. Look at Demon's arm brother. I'm miring the legs too. Insanely powerful

I agree that slop intended for children and teenagers doesn't need to look good but cool

I do understand it, I just think these types of American speed slop comics are a low form of art with low standards

I do understand why kids like my little pony and I also understand why some adults do but just because some adults think it's a masterpiece and I don't doesn't make my opinion less valid.
The vastajority of people see stuff like this as nothing but slop for children and manchildren

It must be admitted that those times will hardly return, seeing guys in suits drawing on a table full of artistic materials to deliver the work on time to the publisher, even in Japan the traditional format is in decline.

I love his more recent art. I really hope he does another comic before he croaks and sleeps the big sleep.

I would put Travis Charest in high tier, he just has a speed problem, but the results are worth it.

is your entire argument that people aren't allowed to discuss the things they enjoy seriously without first undergoing a sufficiently extensive self humiliation ritual where they plead and beg for forgiveness for their shit taste before you think its ok or what
