Introduction:
I wrote numerous posts abut old Marvel cover art. We began our joyrney in year 1942 with artworks by Al Avison, and went through all the series I could find materials about. Today I want to start a short series (two, may be three posts) to review modern Marvel cover art style.
Cover art:
I'm sure you heard the name of Neal Adams. He worked with Marvel before, and continued when the time came to create the new Avengers series. His art is truthly dynamic, and is much more realistic when it comes to character poses then it was in Marvel Golden Age.
A group of artists who worked with "Avengers" covers also includes David Finch Leinil Francis Fu, Jin Cheung, Art Adamn and John Cassaday.
The characters style look already so much closer to the characters we see in the movies based of comics. Now we're in year 2011 here, not far away from our 2017.
This one is impressive, right? More realistic style is very handy is such dynamic scenes. Artists depict - and we belive.
This on reminds me Frank Miller a bit. Untill today I was sure that he worked only with DC, but today I found his "Wolverine" cover (will show it in a separate review dedicated particulary to Frank Miller, he really deserves a separat post).
Sorry for lols, but... Where is Valdo?:)
Just asking here: whom wold you support in this confrontation?:) I love avengers, but I'd definitely took X-men side, ha-ha:)
Thank you for watching:)
Love, Inber
