IIRC the US forces never really called the M3 Stuart the "Stuart", it was just called by its number. They got the Stuart, Lee, Sherman etc names for different tank models from the Brits who fielded them first and gave them names to help differentiate them.

Garcia Lopez is probably one of DC's most iconic artists. He created the "house" standard style guides for them in the 80's.

That's pretty odd. Why did they give British tanks the names of Civil War generals?

>>84221610

The Americans built the tanks, but sold them to the allies fighting before they officially joined the war as a way to indirectly oppose Germany. The Brits got the tanks and gave them names after American generals to fit their origin.

He was very generic though. I remember every comic he did the art looked like it could have been drawn by just anybody.

Isn't that a bit like calling Seinfeld generic and unfunny? Isn't he only generic because he created the gold standard for style so everyone tried mimicking him, making him only generic in hindsight?

His style still isn't very unique because it's essentially a stripped down version of guys like George Perez and Al Milgrom and other guys who were heavily associated with DC. It was really designed to be made into cheap cartoons and toys. Again, it's good, but rarely wows you.

I'll return in a moment.
