Joe Sinnott OA 1 1

[Captain Canuck]

Unfortunately another great comic artist has passed away, Joe Sinnott, but would love too see everyone's examples of his work that you have in your personal collection. I will start.

Spider-man Sunday Strip, November 2014 (Saviuk and Sinnott)

 

Fantastic Four 319 (Pollard and Sinnott)

This was in his personal collection until recently.

The top tier was torn off in the warehouse as a show of "loyalty" to the guy running it at the time  (the first three pages of this  issue are similarly torn) so the Baxter Building images are just a photocopy. Sinnott says he always started a new issue by inking the final panel of page 2  so it's possible that Thing/Torch frackus is the first FF image he ever did.

I was lucky enough to visit Joe and his son at his house two years ago. Incredibly sweet guy, still working on the ASM Sunday strip, still with it. Very devout, and proud of his collection of every piece of correspondence Stan ever sent him.

Amazing page! You never seem to surprise me with what you have in your collection.

One day I hope to make the grade.

I only own 3 pages, but they’re all inked by Joe. He signed the Thor page on the back.

Well, if you're only going to have three pages...

I know the FF 98 is the flashiest, but I also like the other one for its soap opera.  Look at how all the gestures - the hands on faces - work in every panel.

And Frenz was no slouch either. Sinnott was the perfect inker for him.

[Captain Canuck]

I always wanted an early Kirby/Sinnott FF, but it was always out of my price range. Luckily my page above had some Kirby Krackle. I have a Kirby FF storyboard and asked on multiple occasions for Sinnott to ink a blueline version of it, but was always turned down. I went with the next best Kirby linked inker available, Mike Royer.

The other one is from 78, and I might  prefer it! It’s my favorite “period” of Kirby’s FF art, and the “flash” is the first mention of Sue’s pregnancy complication; a direct lead in to my beloved FF annual 6.

Agree on Frenz. He did great Kirby, and when you add Joe Sinnott, you get gold!

Terrific page Glen, these early pages are so cool!

From a favorite nostalgic story of mine and love the Sinnott inks in this story. And also very sweet first panel.

I managed over the years to grab a bunch of the inking challenge pieces from the Inkwell Awards. All inked over Sinnott bluelines. Very interesting too see others inking over his pencils and sometimes his own inking style on the same piece in comparison. I love the sharpness of Sinnotts lines, how his backgrounds are not overpowering and letting the scene and/or character speaking for itself.

First time that we have Sinnott inking Incredible Hulk 1, especially over Kirby.

That page is monumental in several ways!

My favorite inker.  (terrible scans)

[KirbyJack]

Wow! 
Flabbergasting stuff!

[Captain Canuck]

Again, I love his lines and the way he inked everything. Always added to the pencils, but never took away from them.

Sad..

I have a couple pieces..
