Tim Sale’s Iron Man

August 13th, 2008

I like the early Iron Man armour, the golden one that he developed to not appear as a monster to people. It’s the replica helmet I own and I’d like to see some more storylines revolving around the old clunky armour which even by today’s standards would still be incredible.

Anyway here is one of my favourite Iron Man images from ‘Heroes’ artist Tim Sale as featured in Hulk:Gray (which is brilliant).

My top five Batman artists

July 25th, 2008

At the end of the day this is an impossible list.

To cut the field down from the calibre of artists that have drawn the Batman over the years is just something I’m not up to. I don’t know if anyone could, certainly not pleasing everyone (if anyone!).

These are five artists that I just love, I love their interpretations of the Batman and some of them are indeed the best Batman artists ever, but I ain’t saying anything!

Tim Sale - his work has caught the attention of the world thanks to Heroes but before that Sale was and still is doing amazing work on Batman (as well as extraordinary stuff with some of the Marvel characters).

Norm Breyfogle - I grew up on Breyfogle’s work on Batman, he has the most brilliant control over kinetic energy in his depictions of Batman, especially in the cape.

Frank Miller - Apart from being a great writer I love his artwork too, it has this great raw power to it, his Batman is a warrior.

Mike Mignola - One of my favourite Batman series is the Black and White series and part of that series was Mignola’s Batman (he’s done covers before).
