Sharp Brothers

Here is the unaltered Dangerous Dan cover from last weeks issue of @BeanoOfficial Along with some process images. #comics

@JLBroomes @JonathanJColton Yeah I can remember getting some Adam Hughes Legionnaires in the early 90s. Felt like he never did any interiors (aside from that one Dark Horse Comics Universe issue) Cassaday I remember first seeing on a cowboy comic for Wildstorm and the AH! influence was obviously there.

@sharpbrothers @JonathanJColton Hughes and Cassaday are only a few years apart. But, Mignola and Miller are from the generation before. When I think back to the 90s, they are the first to come to mind.

Who is the GOAT of 90s comic artists? Who’s not listed but should be? A. Jim Lee B. Todd McFarlane C. Rob Liefeld D. Dale Keown

@JLBroomes @JonathanJColton Yeah that's fair - always think of John as being the generation after those guys. I feel like Cassaday and Bryan Hitch ushered in the next big artistic movement in comics come the early 00s.

@sharpbrothers @JonathanJColton It was actually 1998. I'm just sticking with the dates. Jon Cassaday made a quick, excellent first impression.

@JLBroomes @JonathanJColton How much did Cassaday do in the 90's. He didn't really find his feet until Planetary which must have barely come out in 1999.

@JonathanJColton On reflection, I'd choose * Frank Miller * Adam Hughes * Mike Mignola * Jon Cassaday Jim Lee was the bigger name, but the work these four did is timeless.

@ChadTHX1138 Phenomenal work that hit like a bomb then he (seemingly) disappeared with only sparodic returns to sequential comics. Style wise a precursor to Daniel Warren Johnson perhaps.

Frank Teran Art.

Frank Teran drew two issues of the Punisher, (94 & 95) and several covers after. They’re incredible. See my reply for more art.

@RackSpinner I love how Firelord on that cover looks like a WWF Hasbro figure.

Mid-Marvel Era. THE SPINNER RACK, May 7, 1985!

@lewstringer @oinkcomic In my primary school in Sydney Australia not a lot of kids in my class regularly read comics aside from myself (a comic tragic) and one other boy who always bought Oink!

Great times. 40 years ago today Tom Thug began when OINK! comic made its debut as a free preview issue in three IPC comics. I was privileged to contribute to every issue and then was in Buster for years when Oink merged into it in 1988. @oinkcomic

@robertliefeld Well other than Erik Larsen on Dragon of course.

You certainly don’t need to apologize to Ryan…. THANK HIM instead. I don’t know anyone who maintained such a sustained and high level of work across decades in modern times. Like 120 or so issues!!! Crazeee!!!

@robertliefeld What a treat for the eyes. I eat this process stuff up and by Erik drawing the 'Blood it's even more delicious.

Woke up to this incredible share by Erik Larsen. He outlined his process in creating this spectacular Youngblood #100 cover! Thank you!!

Had a short break between strips so took a shot at @Todd_McFarlane Spawn. Heavily influenced by the work of Mike Mignola and Michael Golden.

@robertliefeld For everyone saddened by the news of his passing I implore you to read his Arkham Asylum Madness book from many years ago. Feels like too many people have slept on it in recent years.

REST IN PEACE, Sam Kieth. You were a titan of talent!

In high school we had one other classmate who bought comics but of the Hate, Eightball, Yummy Fur variety however he LOVED the work of Sam Kieth. We did too however we loved Youngblood, Spawn and WildC.A.T.s type comics. Sam Kieth was an artist with that type of appeal. RIP Sam.

@JonathanJColton @ShadeX6 Vintage Sam Kieth - blood hungry or the Maxx definitely would be in my "if I win the lottery" dream list of original artwork to own. Outstanding work to behold.

One of the nicest comic book pros/legends I've ever met. Sam Kieth #maxx #wolverine #xmen #marvel I love seeing the white-out. It means he's human. :)

A big Happy Birthday to Dennis the Menace for turning 10 years old again today for the 75th time. #Dennis75 #YearOfMischief @BeanoOfficial

@SiGallagher @robertliefeld metacritic.com/movie/the-marv…

@robertliefeld The Marvels isn’t even remotely in the bottom tier, dude come on

Says the guy that green lit The Marvels, Ant Man 3, Thor: Love and Thunder, Cap 4…. Oof

@ShadeX6 As artists we should always evolve but I dearly miss when you drew like this.

OA GHOST RIDER ANNUAL issue 1 page 37. July, 1993.

By #164 we are starting to edge back into excessive detail even with the heavy amount of panels. Dangerous Dan at least looking consistent with the wider Beano world.

@robertliefeld Same reason Microsoft called their second Xbox the Xbox 360- to compete with the PlayStation 3.

This

SO here is strip #136 of Dangerous Dan - i think we had found the right style for him here, however we still kept trying different takes as we moved forward.

@robertliefeld Some of the female centric strips we did for WWE Kids Magazine.

I have a number of female starring comic titles, Avengelyne, Glory, Lethal… I’m looking to hire artists, please share your best sequential art, storytelling.

Here is Dangerous Dan strip #115 - we were really trying to find a way to have Dan fit better within the larger Beano cast of characters. So we were adjusting how we draw him to be more in-line with Nigel Parkinsons work.
