Who do you think are some of the most talented yet under appreciated artists since the Marvel era began in 1961? For me, you aren't under appreciated if IDW or someone else has done an "Artist's Edition" of your work. So guys like Golden, Mazzuchelli, Chaykin, Starlin, Kaluta, Mignola, Russell, Andru, Aragones, Simonson, Gibbons, etc. are not eligible in my book. But, these guys are (I think): Kojima Wildey Swan Truman Willingham Wagner I could go on, but I think you get the drift. 2 Keys_Collector and Ken Aldred reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is the only artist that I would be willing to get a big commission from. 12 years later hanging paintings a few weeks ago my fiancé goes “You have a lot of Jusko’s.” 1 2 oakman29, BlowUpTheMoon and electricprune reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for under-appreciated, forgotten or overlooked talent, the name that popped into my mind was David Mazzucelli. A great talent! Really? I think Mazz is incredibly overrated and would be one of the long list of forgotten artists, if it weren’t for his collaborations with Miller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kav 55,559 posts Posted April 10 The most under rated under appreciated artist of all time is Curt Swan. He rarely gets mentioned anywhere and is arguably the best comic artist of all time. His ability to draw pretty much anything and the most natural poses of any artist is unparalleled. 4 500Club, frozentundraguy, 1950's war comics and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Timely 9,525 posts Posted April 10 (edited) Matt Fox's career ended in 1963, so I guess he makes the cut-off. He is relatively unknown but did a lot of prehero monster stories for Marvel. His style is very reminiscent of Basil Wolverton. Edited April 10 by Timely 7 frozentundraguy, bounty_coder, sfcityduck and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's like he really only started getting appreciated in the last few years. He was definitely three cuts above some of the other generic DC artists of his era.

His early stuff is still underrated! When was starlin almost unknown????????? He was a huge star among artists. He just didn't produce a ton of work like Byrne.

Sal's work really shined when he had a great inker such as Klaus Janson touching up his work. True he never did too many covers that I recall... 1 kav reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
