For me, I much, much, much prefer realistic art over cartoony.
I pre-ordered the new Raven mini-series from DC and I can't get through the story in the first issue because the art is so not to my taste.

I love these Al Milgrom/John Byrne DS Classic covers (after Steve Ditko) ! The covers of #1-4 are worth the price alone, even though I enjoy the interior story/art too !

Obviously Ditko gave us gorgeous mystical landscapes. However, his people, especially their faces seemed of unlimited variety! Here's one of my favorite scenes when Strange has some down time with his friend Sen-Yu. Note also the faces above Mordo !

Alex Toth -
The real crime there is that you can tell from his style sheets that in addition to being a great designer, he had a genuine grasp of anatomy. He could clearly "see" his designs from all angles - especially the tricky way he designed the Space Ghost head. It's a shame he never had a staff of genuinely talented animators to bring those designs to real life. You can always tell when the animators working on those shows had to try and draw his characters from an angle that Toth hadn't covered, because suddenly the characters looked like they were drawn by a two year-old.
Nothing against those who worked for Hannah Barbara, but I can only wonder what a fully animated version of Toth's characters would have looked like if they had been handled by animators such as Glen Keane or James Baxter. The Herculoids could have been especially wonderful, and I think his "cartoony" designs would suddenly seem a lot more "realistic."

The F4 260 cover is one of my all time favorites as well. ~____________~
That Gene Colan run on Dr Strange looks borderliine mangaesque. Not the character faces obviously, but the loose paneling. I don't really like the lay outs, though it led to some interesting pages like the sons of satanas issue? Or the Satanist cult or w/e.

No one draws hats better than Gene Colan, I'm discovering.

Aye, hats. No typo. Obviously Colan's awesome, I just think little things like hats make him more awesome TO ME. It's like how I think no one draws reclining villians better than JB. Sure, he does LOTS of stuff great, but it's that one little thing that just thrills me most when he draws it.

Well, for Colan there's the pic of Doctor Strange above, as well as his Howard The Duck stuff. For JB there's many commisions, as well as the Romulans cover.

I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but am still shocked by what some people post in threads as examples of good comic book artwork! (I am not referring to any particular poster or image in this thread; the thought just seemed to fit here better than anywhere else.)
