What is the most beautifully illustrated comic you've ever read?

Sandman Overture knocked off my socks in that department.

Sonichu.

My diary desu

What was that really nicely painted wordless graphic novel they would advertise in Scholastic stuff

The cover was like an old-timey businessman with a trilby looking down at a white featureless blobdog alien

Does he color as well as draw?

Cause that just looks like an oil painting. Does he send his publisher oil paintings and they turn them into comic pages?

Hahahahah I like you

Michael Deforge always blows me away with his interesting designs and use of color, Ant Comic being a great example.

Also anything by:
>Chris Ware
>Charles Burns
>Daniel Clowes
>R. Crumb
>Ross/Sophie Campbell

DC: The New Frontier is my favorite by a wide margin

I really love Katsuhiro Otomo's artwork in Akira. The detail and atmosphere in it is incredible, I don't really care for the story that much though.

Probably something from JH 3.

Vertigo by Lynd Ward, but most people wouldn't count that as a comic.

In which case, Snow Blind, Tyler Jenkins is the artist.

that mobius one

>Phil Noto

He's fucking awful, like terrible in all aspects aside from pin-ups/illustrations. And Jim Lee isn't on the current Justice League. 7 of pages in your pic aren't even drawn by Jae Lee, they're drawn by Ben Oliver.

COME ON ANON.

Batwoman. It's the only comic I've ever bought for the art alone.

Kirby: Genesis looked pretty stunning.

Black Widow and Punisher were amazing, though.

And for the other pics, yes I fucked up. I just merged a couple of pages without checking them because I remebered that jae lee was the artist.

>Jim Lee isn't on JL now
I know

That looks awful and an insult to the senses.
All that detail completely wasted because the artist decides to color everything in blue, pink and green.
Comicbook artwork is supposed to be interpreted with one look. This guy might be talented in his technique but has no idea how to make sequential art or how to make elements of a picture stand out. So far it looks like vomit.

He's not wrong, Stokoe is a solid penciller but he kills his own work with the inking style and colours he uses. Guy needs to either a) spend a few months studying colour theory and inking techniques, or b) do the sensible thing and work with a good inker and colourist.
