]]> lexluthor Comic Book Artists The New Classic Illustrators?

I'm taking a class right now entitled, "Advanced Studies in Children's Literature," and one of the assignments was to look at some of the classic illustrators of early children's book works. The thing that caught my eye was how detailed these artists were. Many of today's children's illustrators have a more cartoony style but these artists drew lavish pieces of highly detailed art depicting elements of the story. These illustrators really reminded me of some of today's comic book artists. One in particular was L. Leslie Brooke, who illustrated classic nursery rhymes and fables in the book Golden Goose. When I saw his art, I swear I saw an uncanny resemblance to the work of Frank Quietly. Check out this picture from The Golden Goose and this one from All Star Superman. I think the resemblance in style is great and remarks to the detail that these current and classic illustrators are putting them into their work.

]]> Comic Book Artists GalleryIt's ironic that these guys add the visual medium to the world of comic books, but many don't know what they even look like. The artists of the comic book world are many and there are so many kinds. Some are the pencillers who create the framework and style for the page, then there are the inkers that go over the pencils and add that stark contrast with black and white. Then comes the colorists that add tone, texture, and...well...color to the page. But it doesn't stop there. There are painters and digital artists and don't forget the letterers that make art from words, logos, and titles. There are so many artists in the chain of command for a comic book that it is pretty staggering to think about. Check out this gallery of great comic book artists. The list will continue to expand and grow, so check back to see if your favorite is here.
