One of the big reasons that Asterios Polyp works so well for me is that Mazzucchelli sets his thesis up from the jump. Creates what @HassanOE & @thingsbydan called setting the baseline of the narrative. Incredibly smart choices made in this book
We are seeing the world through Asterios's eyes-which justifies Mazz's choices. Brilliantly layered storytelling
Gil Kane on Dan Spiegel's work: "(Spiegel's)organizing of a picture is probably the finest demonstration I have ever seen of a guy dealing in spatial relationships. And on top of that, he can create a three dimensional scene" Proof:
Spiegel uses the white (negative space) of the page better than most I've seen. Sees it as an asset to design rather than limitation.

As comics get more "widescreen" I've really come to appreciate the sweet, skinny, vertical panels of Miller's DD
we do not spend enough time gushing over how great John Bogdanove is. Great Cartooning skills, amazing draftsmanship and gestures. From a new mutants annual and X-terminators
Kurtzman. I want comics to be colored like this again
Urasawa's celebrity portraits are the best
my favorite Neal Adams stuff was his comic strip work...what a legend
Toth famously said " Strip it down to the essentials and Draw the hell out of what's left". Calling something "simple" because of a lack of (over)rendering implies that less lines = less work. Here's Toth keeping it Simple
Little Breakdowns of the "hellboy style" made by @TadStones for the Hellboy animated shows to capture the @artofmmignola magic. So great https://t.co/wiUceHtiKC
Let's spend Monday gushing over Barry Windsor-Smith, shall we? This is the closest we will get to seeing how Michelangelo would've drawn comics. Classic draftsmanship and beautiful storytelling
