Do you consider Adam Hughes and Alex Ross comic book artists? Comic books are a way of narrating a story through sequential pictures. Is someone who mostly does covers and illustration a comic book artist, or are they something else?

Those guys are both. They're pro illustrators and comics artists. They are very similar but different skills.

They still do interiors on occasion.

I'd say Ross is primarily a "painter" and sometimes a "comic book artist".

Hughes just did a 3 issue stint on Betty and Veronica. He still does interiors, just very slowly.

Ross hasn't done interiors in like a decade plus tho. Still comic book artists tho.

Tim Sale does pretty much nothing but ridiculously pricey commissions these days, and a few awful fucking covers whenever someone throws him a bone

And someone who was never particularly great at the latter either.

I agree: once the dazzle of the photorealism wears off you realize that he's really not a very good visual storyteller. And the boy can't WRITE for shit.
