Who are the most talented but underrated artists since 1961? 2 2

[Mephisto]

Oh forgot about modern artists that get no credit. I like:

 

Jae Lee

Joe Jusko

Dillan

Fabry

 

I really like Jusko too. He is the only artist that I would be willing to get a big commission from.

I have always been a HUGE fan of Don Newton, i think he is th eepitome of underrated. His batman work is INCREDIBLE. I think his phantom cover paintings are too clunky, but his Charlton horror work was aces!

I forgot to list Nestor Redondo, I liked his Swamp Thing run, but Wrightson is a tough act to follow....

Clunky might be an accurate word in some respects.

 

I've corresponded with Newton's son, a tattoo artist out in Arizona.

 

Let's see some Newton Horror!!!!

Here is one who I think fits the category:

 

John Romita Jr, especially his early work with Layton on Iron Man.

No mention of Don Heck? Where's the love, man?

 

Heck drew GORGEOUS women.

 

Don Heck (1929-1995). I had to read to the end of this thread to find Mr. Heck. A shame that. He had a feeling for line in both pencils and inks that made him, at his prime, one of the greats.

 

Wikipedia entry: well worth the read.

POVonline Heck Obituary: nicely written.

 

 

Anytime I get a chance, here's my favorite Heck cover -

 

Heck really takes a beating on these boards at times.

 

This cover is nothing short of superb illustration. Tons of grace, action & fluid motion. Thanks for the post. Hats off to Don Heck for this one!

[Doctor Svord]

Kevin Nowlan

 

Sure, his early work has that weird, 80's retro-mod look, but I'll buy anything that guy draws.

[Silver Surfer]

Sal Buscema, Marie Severin.

[CAP Freak]

Anybody mention Marie Severin yet?

Me.

[Rodey]

Mark Bagley

 

Yeah, he's great.

 

I know, I was just kidding. Glad someone mention Paul Smith.

[JohnT]

Mark Shultz. I discovered his stuff a few months ago (yes, I'm completely clueless about anything past the 80's), and he is stunning. Great GGA in the old-time tradition!

[Electricmastro]

Enrique Nieto, like his work with Just Married #104 (February 1975, Charlton Comics):

Good thread to resurrect. Many of my favorite posters present.

Most of my faves have already been mentioned, but I never seen Steve Rude yet, the first time I saw this cover I was blown away and searched for everything he had ever done.
