Popular Post kav Posted May 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) I'm arguing with someone on face book who claims "Many John Byrne comics are undervalued. Change my mind. He’s his generation’s Neal Adams. I just think Byrne goes down as his era’s greatest." I stated "the problem with byrne is he can only draw one male face and one female face. he just changes hair. many comic artists are guilty of this but byrne takes it to whole new level. Adams drew different faces. he could also draw children. Byrne's children look like adult midgets. Perez is the greatest artist of that era. orig art for byrne can be found cheap. perez is pricey. that says it all. So whats the consensus-who will go down as the better artist of that era?

Popular Post romanheart Posted May 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2020 I can look at Perez's art all day. Unique, realistic, monumental detail, and very pleasing to the eye. I like Byrne too, but I'd vote Perez. Dave2739, Point Five, WeR138 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littledoom Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Perez... was just thinking about his work the other day in particular what he did for DC: New Teen Titans, Crisis on Freaking Infinite Earths, Batman, DC Comics Presents..

But I've never been crazy about his art on FF. Not at all. They seemed emaciated with large heads. Perez's Avengers, New Teen Titans, Crisis & Wonder Woman were amazing. It's Perez for me.

Thx. tweaking minor things and also using the best examples of drawing 'different' faces you can possibly muster doesnt cut it. 99% of byrne faces are identical. Sure if he draws the beast or a robot of course it aint gonna look like all the standard faces thats hardly an argument tho. JJ-4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think Perez did a better job on Avengers than Byrne? I love Perez, and New Teen Titans was the only DC book I was regularly reading at that time because of him. He’s also a great guy whereas Byrne is a jerk. Byrne is the better artist though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Readcomix Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I like Byrne's work; love Perez! There's a brightness to it that's perfect for superheroes. People were gaga for X-Men in their heyday and I enjoyed them too, but the Shooter/Perez Avengers were always my first read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byrne over Perez, as Byrne drew FF, She-hulk, Alpha Flight, Superman, etc. Funny how some of the best Claremont/Byrne era X-men covers were drawn by the team of Perez/Austin!
