Yes, they were very good too - i remember their Batman/Predator 3 issue effort particularly. Good show - i liked Gary Frank's Hulk meself.


I meant to mention Frank but couldn't remember his nameembarrassment, anyway, I love his style, very clear and uncluttered. I loved the incarnation of the Hulk at that time in which he was intelligent and witty, thanks once again to Peter David.

As for favorite animators, it's a tie between Tex Avery and Bob Clampett:

I met Jose Garcia Lopez at a convention once. Super, super nice guy, very easy going and nice to talk to.


Oh man I envy you for that.
I was at comics fare here in the Netherlands, and John Romita was there too to sign. He was swamped by the audience so I never got to meet him. Now Ernie, Jose and John are some of the very few people I really would like to meet to talk to if only to tell them what their work means to me and what a great gift it is that they have given me.

Kind regards.

Lin Streeter and Eugene Hughes. They illustrated pre-code horror comics from the 40s.

Ah yes a good choice too.
They fall in the non superhero category, and to that I have to add this obvious one:

Carl Barks.
I seriously doubt if Donald Duck would be as big as he is now without that man's contribution.
The best of all Disney artists.

Kind regards.

Good call on Ernie Chan, Disco Stu. a fine artist although I prefered his work as an inker, particularly on John Buscema's excellent pencils on Conan The Barbarian, the same goes for the late great Alfredo Alcala.


I never know where artist work ends and the effect of the inker starts. That separation still isn't clear to me.
I do know from issue about comic artists, the one issue that I have about John Romita, that he also worked on Spider-man where he only did inking and drew the heads.
I understood from that that an inker can have a great influence on the final look of the image but, as said, how far that goes, I am not familiar with the technicalities.

When I looked for pictures of Chan's work the majority of the pictures were Conan, and I could recognize his style very well. He draws very recognizable eyes.

Kind regards.

Since I am a DC War Book fanatic, let me also add the beautiful work of Russ Heath:

And Bob Clampett: (although another animator probably did this, it has the Clampett style)

I was a big comic book fan as a kid, and had literally thousands of them in every possible genre. I even made them myself (I have at least a dozen different characters), but never published anything.

The two BIG favourites were Donald Duck (and all things Disney) and The Phantom. This latter character is actually MORE popular here in Norway than its homeland USA. My favourite Phantom cartoonist was NOT Lee Falk, actually, but the Swedish Hans Lindahl. He made some FANTASTIC b/w stories in the early 90's. "Delicious" play between light and shadow. He wasn't that brilliant when they changed to all-colour in the mid-90's or so. Here's one of his covers from 2002 that is more or less b/w:



And here's a pretty cool Lindahl cover in colour:

My favourite The Phantom was from 1989, written by Mark Verheiden and illustrated by Luke McDonnell. McDonnell's style was very distinctive, i really liked it.
