How does /co/ remember Tom Palmer, Inker? Were you there, then, or do you just know of him now through back issues? I was there and i hated only Bill Mantlo as much as I hated Tom Palmer. It wasnt that Palmer was bad. he was very good actually. But I felt he was too heavy handed and he smothered every artist to the point that everything he inked looked like a Tom Palmer book. He made Neal Adams and John Buscema Jr's work look identical, as an example. He didnt even call himself an inker. He said he was the Embellisher. Frankly, he ruined the Avengers for me for a very long time. I just couldnt stand the sameness of every single issue for years at a time no matter who pencilled it.
Am I wrong to think these things? Should we follow inkers or pencillers? Should they compliment the pencils or should they make every line their own?
I was flipping through some old issues and remember that Tom Palmer was a bane to my teenage years and I will be shocked if anyone disagrees.
Pic related...it looks pretty awesome doesnt it? And it could be by any artist in the world but you know immediately that Tom Palmer smothered it with his inks.

Autism.
Thats Paul Ryans pencils and I promise you all Paul Ryans art never looked like that anywhere else Thats Paul Ryan smothered and abused by Tom Palmer.
I'm bad with names, the guy that wrote himself in as Donna Troy's husband.
Fuck him.

Was that Marv Wolfman? i bet it was.
>>90796243
Yes. Yes it was.
>>90796243
Damn, I like his stories, they're alright.
But that's just one of the creepiest, sleaziest things I've heard of.

Promising her they'll be alone forever seems kind of sad.

What's your opinion on Sonic's arms, OP?
Vince Colletta, he was a hack. He inked pretty much every Jack Kirby issue of Thor
>>90796753
He also did the early 4th World stuff before getting replaced by Mike Royer

You must be kidding.
Palmer is a frickin giant, and I suspect
You are not worthy to sharpen his pencils.
Try stirring up some political theorists
And leave the adults in peace.

What the fuck is even happening in those panels? Why is a pregnant woman sitting in an office chair in the middle of an giant empty corridor? And what the fuck is that perspective?
>hating Tom Palmer
OP confirmed as having shit taste. Palmer is a Sinnott tier inker. I'd get if you didn't like a more stylized inker like Janson (you'd be wrong) but Palmer was a bullpen favorite who everyone wanted to work with.

Just popping to check.

Palmer will always have my admiration because he was one of the few who could actually ink Gene Colan pencils and preserve Colin's rendering style.
>>90796753
This breaks my heart.

Remember the old saying "Vince Colletta is Marvel's number 2 inker. number 1 is LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE"
>>90799364
and every fucking page was like that in his 3 or 4 issues of x-factor he did in 2008
>>90800000
