I was comparing Bolland to Bryan Hitch and Barry Kitson and others who do a lot of anatomically-correct fine-line work.

"I was comparing Bolland to Bryan Hitch and Barry Kitson and others who do a lot of anatomically-correct fine-line work. "

In the case of Kitson, Bolland is more dynamic. In the case of Hitch, it's a closer call, but I think I'll give it to Bolland.  But I think "most" dynamic is just a little too far. Especially if you use a definition of "photo realist" that is wide enough to include Kitson.

There's a lot of art out there by very dynamic illustrators like Neal Adams, Al Williamson,  Stan Drake, Early Bill Sienkiewicz, early Alan Davis and many others that are as photo realist as the examples you mentioned and can give Bolland quite a run for his money as the "Most dynamic photo realist".

That's a title he has to get to over Neal Adams' dead body and Adams doesn't roll over and play dead for anybody.

Does anyone have a scan of Superboy 222-4(?) as Superboy is punched OFF the planet by Stargrave. Drawn by the awesome Mike Grell. One of my all time favorites.

What tells you that about this page? I'm not familiar with his work, is it
something about Bolland's storytelling here? The number of panels used?

about JLA 200, which is cited above:  JB can probably speak better to this than I, but it seems like at that point in time, when there was a "multiple artist jam issue," it was designed carefully, with artists and subjects carefully matched up.  Nowadays, it seems like most comics that have multiple penciller-inker teams have such because either a)artists can't keep their professional commitments or b)some lamehead at the company solicited a book that wasn't ready yet.

Ergo, that JLA 200 has some brilliant segments(Gil Kane drawing GREEN LANTERN versus THE ATOM, the two Justice Leaguers with whom  he was most closely associated, for example) whereas recent "double-sized anniversary issues" change artists every five or six pages with no rhyme/reason to it.

Regarding why Cap's shield still ricochets while it shouldn't- maybe the
edge is coated with a non-Vibranium material that doesn't absorb impact?
That'd explain why so few people have the skill to throw it like he does.

I was thinking the same thing today. Cap's shield must be designed so the kinetic power used against its center actually creates some kind of dissipating force around its edges...so if the shield is impacted on its edge, the dissipating force (unanchored by Cap's body) probably causes the richochet. Like a struck tuning fork?

I think that Cap's shield is made with the same magic that keeps his bucanneer boots from falling down.
