Is Frank Miller the worst artist to have ever worked on the big 2?

>What's he mean? What's he talking about?
This comic in a nutshell.

Also, to answer your question, OP, yes. He was good back in the day, but then he started degrading further and further into utter gibberish, in both art and writing.

Same artist and colorist as the OP. It's crazy, right?
>>
He used to be one of the absolute best and was highly influential. He studied paneling and page layouts like few artists before him.

Really don't know what happened to him later. It's like he wanted to get more abstract or cubist but just didn't quite get it right.

>>94836956
Frank Millar was having a breakdown when making Dark Knight 2. If Dark Knight Part 3 is any indication, he seems to have recovered.

I hope he has. His 70s-90s Marvel/DC work was great
>>
>>94836956
The pencils look impressive at first sight but then you notice all the problems that are hidden because of the superb coloring.
>>
other than >>94836956, you're all tasteless faggots that don't know the first thing about the subject.

You could of gone with Liefeld or Bob Kane, suggestions that would of actually made sense.

I swear to god /co/ gets more and more of you faggots each year. Fucking insufferable.

Even hardcore Miller fans hate DK2 and Holy Terror, he is great and I hope he has recovered from cancer but in more "recent" history he hasnt been great.

Miller may not be as good as he use to be but you can't deny that the man made plenty of great art throughout his career and inspires many artist to this day.

That's the other guy.

>Is Frank Miller the worst artist to have ever worked on the big 2?

If you think he's the worst ever, then your experience with the medium is pretty limited (even within the confines of the big 2). Has his skill degraded? Yes. Probably the sharpest degradation in skill I've seen in comics.

>>94837143
He wasnt. He didnt have his breakdown till 9/11 you retard.

DKSA is amazing--probably the most underrated comic of its era. Its just faggots like you that heard it was "bad" and refuse to engage with the work on its own terms.

Its meant to feel like a fever dream.

It's insane just how much Miller's art deteriorated in Dark Knight Strikes Again. It doesn't even look like the same artist as everything else he's done

>>94837915
9/11 happened while he was working on TDKSA
>>
>>94837952
It was written before 9/11. The release was delayed to 2002 probably because of 9/11.
>>
>>94838019
While working on the art, the script was already done.
>>
>>94836325
What the fuck? No.

Brett Booth is employed.

Michael fucking Turner had a job for a couple of years at Marvel and DC.

Jesus Christ.

>>94838057
Yeah, which might explain why the art was so garbage

You should check out early Deodato and early Land ( although in both cases it's not so much degradation as ABDICATION ).

Still better than Miller. Her body isn't a disorganized mess of limbs.

Nah it's Mikel Janin just tracing over 3-d modeling software. And he's on their flagship comic Batman, what a joke.

Miller is still a more visually interesting storyteller than just about every artist at the Big 2 right now.

Also JRJR is good

>>94838830
Deodato doesn't actually draw anymore.

He uses poser or traces from other images.
>>
>>94838957
i think janin can do some very nice page composition, but when he gets lazy his work is so ugly to look at
>>
Liefeld, Leth, Land all come to mind as being worse for various reasons. Miller's bad now, yeah, but decades back he was pretty okay.
>>
>>94839005
It felt more Miller towards the end. Like at first his name was a token involvement or something. I'm eager for whatever that project he was with JRJR

>>94836956
Okay, but who inked it? Sometimes that's a huge transformation from pencils to finished page. I'm mostly sure Miller didn't ink his own work when drawing for Marvel...
>>
>>94839252
These redone colors help a bit but still frank millers line work isn't as good as it was in the dark knight returns.
>>
>>94839269
He inked TDKSA, so you have your answer.
I already showed the flaws on the perspective of the penciler.
/co/ is nostalgia passing as taste or knowledge.
Jrjr was also never good.

I think this guy is full of shit if he sees any of those as good drawings. They are absolutely hideous.
