James Jean Is it a coincidence that I stopped reading Fables after he stopped doing the covers? Actually yes.

edit: Errr, I don't think any of these need any explanation, except maybe McKelvie. Those Phonogram covers were fantastic. Jock executes a single idea on the cover really, really well. Ditto for Dave Johnson. I mean, 100 Bullets, people. David Mack, obvious reasons. Aja, because, well, I really like his style, his use of blocks (see Immortal Iron Fist #16, Green Arrow #12) within the unifying theme, and he can do a "normal" cover and he can do the variants/wacky ideas really well. Aja's stuff is always striking to me, in short. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9833&Focus=293061#Comment_293061 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9833&Focus=293061#Comment_293061 Tue, 03 May 2011 17:51:28 -0700 lgenius Becky Cloonan

Artists that just do good covers regardless of, but appropriate to the comic content are a really rare bunch and I don't know that I could come up with five of those.

Dave Johnson does consistently strong covers for a variety of books with differing tones. If I needed a go-to cover artist without knowing the content he'd be my choice.
Adam Hughes is another guy who does great covers, though he seems to be used as just a pin-up guy more than he deserves.
Chris Bachalo does good covers with occasional leaps into great covers and has a much broader range than the market he's currently working in.
Brian Bolland always does great work with a deep range.

After that you start getting into artists who are really good for a specific genre and less so for others.

There are some living artists who are effectively has-beens for comic covers. At one point in the 90s, Joe Quesada was one of the better cover artists in the business. His deflated Ghost Rider cover is still one of the best of the era. He's alive, but I don't know if he has the magic still. Dave McKean really isn't a comics guy anymore, so I don't think he could be bothered to do any cover unless Neil wrote it. Claire Wendling did amazing covers for her Lights of Amalou series, but I think she's done with comics as well. Pretty much the same situation with James Jean.

Sorry, just a list of four with a few digressions. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9833&Focus=293221#Comment_293221 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9833&Focus=293221#Comment_293221 Wed, 04 May 2011 13:43:36 -0700 vandalhandle Jock

Alot of artists I have to be in the mood for.
10 would have been easier to make a list.

in no order of preference:

.1 Alex Ross (obviously!)

.2 Dave Mckean - how come this guy isn't dominating the list?

.3 Jh Williams

.4 Brian Bolland

.5 Bill Sienckwickz (also one of my favourite Music album cover designers!)


i may need to amend this list.....

But: I really want better graphic design in my comics. There are so many instances of great art being plagued by horrible logos and barcodes (seriously, they can't throw them in the corner of the back page ad?) and it's makes me kinda sad.

I've been looking into Chip Kidd's work (Dark Knight Returns/Year One collection covers, Final Crisis) has really left me wanting more. Even if he can be a bit repetitive at times, at least it looks professional. Am I right in saying that lettering studios are usually responsible for this end of things in mainstream comics? I'm a big graphic design enthusiast/hobbyist and the vast majority of comics design (including recap/credits pages) are diabolical. Hickman seems to be having a positive input on his series' design work, Morning Glories has a nice, polished look, who else is doing good work in this regard? ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9833&Focus=294128#Comment_294128 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9833&Focus=294128#Comment_294128 Wed, 11 May 2011 06:34:32 -0700 Sobreiro http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9833&Focus=294129#Comment_294129 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9833&Focus=294129#Comment_294129 Wed, 11 May 2011 06:59:03 -0700 Brad McLoughlin http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9833&Focus=294130#Comment_294130 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9833&Focus=294130#Comment_294130 Wed, 11 May 2011 06:59:50 -0700 Brad McLoughlin http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9833&Focus=294132#Comment_294132 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9833&Focus=294132#Comment_294132 Wed, 11 May 2011 07:48:34 -0700 BattGuano Kevin Walker

You can throw Michael Turner in there too. Like Liefeld he's completely shite at anatomy, but he has a sense of style and colour that's going to see his stuff becoming prized as collectibles in thirty or forty years' time.

Mike Mignola
Tony Harris
Daryl Mandryk
Ashley Wood
Guy Davis

Mandryk's only done about five covers that I know of, but they're amazing, every one.

And I can't help but love Ashley Wood's batshit oil paintings.
