Looking at some lists of favorite artists, and this name kept coming up. Unfamiliar, so googled, fully expecting to be disappointed. Instead, greatly impressed! Really good stuff.

And……. Fun!!!!!

Waitaminute. John Byrne doesn’t like any artists that came after him. This
can’t be right.

Dan Mora is a machine! His art is
consistently fantastic and he can draw and
ink two books a month. Any book he draws
is a must have for me.

I really like his stuff, he did one of Boom! Studios Buffy relaunches and it was one of those moments where I immediately thought 'Marvel and DC are going to snag this guy QUICK.'

Sure enough ...

Dan Mora reminds me of George Pérez in the sense that he draws every character so well in his own style and his storytelling is very clear with unique page layouts. He made a big mark in his career so far!

-C!

I wasn't that familiar, so I took a look.

This is truthfully the best Batgirl I've seen since the days of Neal Adams!  (Whose version, admittedly, was probably too much of a bombshell.)

Odd — I don’t remember Neal drawing Batgirl.

I was specifically thinking of this one cover.

Pretty bombshelly!

Don't want to overwhelm the Dan Mora thread with Neal Adams art, so here's another great Mora piece--Shazam!

I have read his and Mark Waid's first few issues of the new SHAZAM series and I was quite impressed by the art--just the right mix of lightheartedness and dynamism, simplicity and details.

He also drew a wonderful comic published by Boom Studios written by Kieron Gillen called Once And Future, which was very much about the return of certain British myths to the world in an unexpected fashion. It seems that was the comic that made a few folk at DC go “oh….” Especially when it was clear he could draw two or three comics a month.
