I'm not sure about crisp and clean equalling perfect - I'd add grubby yet gorgeous art like Carlos Ezquerra and Cam Kennedy to that.

It's really impossible to describe just how incredibly beautiful the art of these two is.

Cassaday
Mignola
Dillon
And I'm quite fond of the woman who does Y: The Last Man.
Philip Bond is still one of my favorites, but not because he's perfect.

Who are Herge and Moebius?

Kevin Maguire inked by Al Gordon (even Keith Giffen inked by Al Gordon).

I love Ezquerra, but i wouldn't want to eat my dinner off him. Nowlan's superb.

Andi Watson, I love you. Charles Vess, you are beautiful.

I really like the art of Dirge and Vasquez. And now Jamie Smart.

Kevin Maguire is very creepy in person.

I'd believe it. Does he like to hug people?

(watch me destroy my credibility in one sentence:)

Back in the 70s, I thought Tuska/Colletta looked cool.

(thank you... thank you very much)

But seriously, Master of Kung Fu #40, Gulacy inking his own pencils.... delicious.

Seriously, the band Happy Apple's last album had cover art and story-art in the booklet by a French comic book artist whose work looks similar. I'm not saying it is, but I can't seem to google it and it's killing me.

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 9 September 2004 19:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Moebius and Ditko. When I am wealthy enough to wear robot shoes, I will have Ditko original art from Strange Tales hanging on my wall. Or a drawing by Moebius of Ditko drawing Dr Strange.

Someone at the comic store the other week said they heard Blueberry was being turned into a movie, does anyone know anything about that? I'll go check imdb while I'm thinking of it.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 9 September 2004 19:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Apparently that Happy Apple album was illustrated by Francois Boucq.

― Chriddof (Chriddof), Thursday, 9 September 2004 19:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Here we go. Hrm. Vincent Cassel as Marshal Blueberry. Supporting cast includes Juliette Lewis, Eddie Izzard, and come to think of it they DO look like Moebius drew them: Michael Madsen and Ernest Borgnine.

Official Blueberry website-I have not read this, but now my curiousity is piqued by a film that seems to have been released in France already.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Thursday, 9 September 2004 19:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Thank you! Google shows he's done, um, a lot of French comics.

The interior picture-story from that record is really cool, btw.

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 9 September 2004 19:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I would give everyone copies of Blueberry and other Moebius graphic novels if I still had the boxes thereof from "Living Room Sink"'s implosion; but I gave em all away already (the excess, that is). The best of his stuff is more than worth reading, though -- and the middling of his stuff, the Silver Surfer two-issue series with Stan Lee, is probably still available in quarter bins. (I don't remember the story at all, but I can still picture the artwork.)

Dave Sim
Chris Weston
Kyle Baker (who pwns this thread for me - even when he's attached to utter shite like The Truth, it's still worth buying for his artwork.)

Recent artists I adore:

Tom Raney
Adam Pollina
Mark Buckingham
Chris Bachalo
Humberto Ramos

The Blueberry film was released in Europe months ago. All my friends who saw it said it was kinda crap. The director (the same guy who did "Dobermann") had apparently gone too deep into his "research" for the movie, due to which a significant amount of the film consists of peyote hallusinations. According to my friends this wasn't a good thing, as cool as it sounds.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 13 September 2004 14:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Peyote hallucinations don't sound like something that would be in the comic. The Confederate Gold saga would make a brilliant trilogy, if someone were to do it right. Or possibly a mini- series.
