I challenge anyone to name a comic with a greater inverse proportion of great writing to shit-tier art than Sandman.

Pic related is maybe the 5th worst artist who worked on that run.

>>90109485
God yes. What the hell. I was so happy when I got to the Wake and the art was by someone competent.

I feel like, if DC hired Duncan Fredrego to redraw all of Sandman, they could pay for it with Kickstarter and that alone would raise 10 million dollars.

There's works with vastly worse art than Sandman, but nothing comparable in the Fantastic writing/Shit art category.

You have to get Chandler to draw Batman: Year one to equal it.
>>
>>90108701
the opposite is worse imo
>>
>>90109700
Ayep.
>>
>>90109385
This. The art was so awful I was almost glad it was over (plus Sue was a bitch). Although the all new ultimates art was possibly even worse, but that story wasn't even good..
>>
>>90109761
Nah. A truly great story can draw you in, and you'll eventually tune out most of the unfortunate art.

An awful story is easy to walk away from, stellar art will just encourage you to buy a poster and be done with it.

>prioritizing writing over art

Ideally comics are a good balance in all departments, but if you'd prefer to have better writing over better art than you're a fucking pleb

A comic book with a garbage story is just an art-flip book.
I'll pay for a great story. I will not buy a cheaply printed floppy full of drivel, even if it's drawn pretty.

Let me guess. you pull at least 6 Bat-titles monthly right?

A comic book with garbage art might as well be a novel, if the art isn't guiding the storytelling and bringing it to life.

And thanks for asking but I haven't read a Batman comic for more than two issues in years

I've never finished The Invisibles because the transition from the glorious Weston/Jimmenez volume to god damn Phillip Bond completely destroyed my connection to the world. The aesthetic went from 2000AD style comic-realism to looking like a late 90's MTV cartoon.
>>
>>90109485
Fuck man, I honestly didn't mind Dean Ormston when he did a couple issues of Lucifer, but his work on The Kindly Ones was fucking god awful. Apparently that arc had like 8 different artists, so who knows what the fuck happened to it

>Doom Patrol
Richard Case is a great artist
>>
>>90110268
He gets better as he finds his groove in the book, but the early stuff is ropey as fuck. Proportions are crazy inconsistent at times, perspectives are illogical, some flat design choices to name a few problems

locke and key. I really dont like the art style

>>90108701
I was into literature long before I developed an interest in comics (and still prefer it), so I can easily tolerate a comic book with great writing and poor art. That said, I can quite understand if someone would not be willing to do so, especially if comics are their medium of choice.

I like OOTS and really the basic stickfigure style is part of the fun,
but it'd still be cool to be legit drawn.
>>
>>90112563
Books and Comic Books are vastly different forms of storytelling, you can do things with a comic you can't with a book and vice versa, regardless of shit art style.

Also some folk aren't great at descriptive or narrative writing but are great at plot writing and dialogue, making comics perfect for them.

Yo dude steve pugh and richard case are GOAT, the dude who did the art for morrison's animal man is not very good tho
>>

Vote Loki.

>>90109605
Animal Man was Vertigo?
>>
>>90111761
Case in point: immonen, he even went from bendis to slott, who's next? , hell he went from good bendis to current terrible bendis
>>
>>90112598
>God, there's something about the art that irks me, even though I think Pia Guerra isn't a bad artist.

I enjoy the fact that it's a post-apocalyptic story which is colorful.
>>
>>90112894
Morrison Animal man was before Vertigo was a thing, and then the Millgan/Delano run right after it got into a lot of Body Horror stuff. It got hit with a "For Mature Readers" tag, and moved to Vertigo when that imprint became a thing

Vote Loki is garbage. I got the first issue because I like Loki, but holy fuck. It looks like a three year old did the art.

While it doesn't render it completely unreadable, the art in the first few issues of Joe Kelly's Deadpool run are so fucking annoyingly cartoonish and bulky it makes it hard to take the comic more seriously and enjoy it.

This doesn't make any sense, are you honestly trying to say his Nextwave work is better than his Ult.Spiderman,Avengers and X-Men work?

Because of Bendis?

Not that guy, but to be completely fair, he was given an almost ludicrous amount of freedom while working on Nextwave.

The OP mentioned great writing.

>>90121587
Is that Dedato or Cassaday scanning and copypasting people?
>>
>>90114444
I know you gotta spread your talent around and can't give your big guns the best stuff all the time but if there is one book that should always have top tier art and writing its Justice League.
>>
>>90121635
Pretty sure it was Larocca on Vader. Deodato was Star Wars.

Fegredo is the only good artist (other than Mignola) to draw Mignolaverse, in my opinion. All of them range from ok to bad.
I think I like Fegredo more than current Mignola, even.
