TOTH The BARBARIAN: Alex Toth's Rarely Seen Conan
#conan #alextoth #comics NOTE: I know that Toth drew X-Men #12 over layouts by Kirby, and since I make such a connection between the arcs of the two artists I should have mentioned that in the video as a point of interest, if nothing else. However, my central thesis remains that the rise of superheroes as the dominant genre in mainstream comics largely marginalized Toth's output, even when it seemed like he would have been a good fit for more noirish heroes like Batman or Daredevil.

    Great reading! I enjoyed listening to it as I was working. The novel lends itself perfectly to Alan Moore and vice versa.

    The context for this video is also that he's been doing so much incredible work beyond just the Watchman from the 80s that people are asking him about that he's eager to talk about all these incredible things. Not to mention to associate him with superheroes especially in this day and age of shlock MCU is sort of miscontextualizing him ( primarily because it would give one the wrong idea of what he's done with superheroes and also the fact that the majority of his superhero stuff is dunking on a lot of the problems with superheroes and comics in general)... the book he mentioned, Jerusalem is one of the greatest novels of all time by a long shot. And also you have to understand all of the superhero stuff involved incredibly painful interpersonal and business problems where people we're just fucking horrible moneygrubbing jerks and screwed him over. So when you're an artist and you're passionate about some thing and then people put a stink on it like that it's a deep wound. Alan Moore is easily one of the greatest writers to ever live, his new novel the great one just came out. Go check that out folks!

      Have you seen these AI versions people can make of themselves and then ask them questions and the voice AND the substance of the answers sound exactly like them? An AI version of Harlan Ellison that you can just ask questions of and get nasty, but funny, responses would be priceless!

    Jrjr is one of my masters in terms of character design and lineart. Whoever says he can't draw has knly seen the works where he was pushed by editorials to commit to almost impossible deadlines. The man worked on 3 books at the same time. Also. No matter how good you are as an artist. Not everyone can draw superman comics right. Jrjr is an amazing artist. No matter what talentless hacks with many fans like linkara say. 😊

    • @GodLovesComics
      @GodLovesComics 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I think JRJR hurt himself a bit when he said that his style is the "deadline style" meaning whatever it takes to get the book out on time. I've heard that used against him a lot by JR haters. Also you've got the clueless minions like the gang from Comic Book Palace who never miss an opportunity to trash JRJR's work over the entire 21st century, but claim he was actually good when he was just starting out, and essentially hadn't developed his own style. And I think the fact that JR was able to develop a clearly identifiable style that in no way resembled his father's (his biggest influence) is extraordinary. The thing is, while undoubtedly he takes on too much work and too many crushing deadlines so that his art inevitably suffers, I don't think it's taking shortcuts that creates so much fan antipathy. I actually think it is aesthetic choices that are sometimes mystifying. Primarily faces. Of course he can draw Superman. He can draw Captain America. But when he makes them look like Cro-Magnons, you can almost hear the gnashing of teeth among fans. There are plenty of JRJR faces that make me cringe and wonder "what was he thinking?" What interests me though is that I'm sure he can draw a more attractive face and one's with more fealty to the iconic images of those heroes, but for some reason he makes these style choices that can be so repulsive they appear like an underground artist parodying mainstream superheroes. I'm not sure if anyone has every taken a selection of maybe a dozen drawings and simply asked JRJR why he drew the faces that way. I don't know if he would say that just the way he draws, or if he would have some more intellectual explanation? Nevertheless, has done some sensational work. Especially on the run with Al Williamson inking him on Daredevil.

      @@GodLovesComics agree. jrjr has an original and unique art style, something not many professional artists can say today, he made me look for an original and personal style, instead of cloning somebody else's and that is a lesson every artist must learn. we already have jrjr, neal adams and jack kirby. we need new artists with new looks and ideas.

    • @GodLovesComics

      @@jscartoonart Yes, there are and will always be clones. I learned from my years as a music critic that the most important thing was not technical proficiency or flawless chops, but rather sounding at least a little bit different than everyone else. Usually it came from the vocals, but it could also be the overall sound palette, or choice of instrumentation etc. In comics, finding a distinctive style, even if it is an amalgam of several notable styles, but with enough of yourself imbued within, is surely the most important element of longevity. Jumping on a trend or emulating someone immensely popular may pay off in the very short term, but you'll always be viewed as a watered down version of whoever you emulate. For JRJR it was imperative that he not draw like his dad, because not only would he never get out from under that shadow, but he could never hope to match his father within Romita Sr.s own style. That he was not only able to differentiate himself entirely from his father's great work, but also from every other artist in the industry is a major achievement, and one that has surprisingly been awarded with immense commercial success as well.

    Harlan is my favorite type of artist someone who is unapologetically creating art, he doesn’t care what the audience thinks because this isn’t for them its made because they want to, wish more modern artists would take this approach 😂

    Let me tell you how much I've come to despise my readers since I began to write. There are 162 pages of printed pages that fill my book. If the word "hate" was engraved on each nano angstrom of those hundreds of pages, it would not equal one one BILLIONTH of the HATE I fell for my readers at this micro instant. *HATE.* **HATE.**

    When you see anything Moore says, you have to consider that he spent decades seeing the worst of the comics industry and he’s jaded. When he says he hates the term graphic novel, you can take it one of two ways: you can see him attacking people who read juvenile comics, or you can see him saying that we don’t need to justify reading comics or give them a fancy name just because we’re adults. I think he really means the latter: publishers took a medium that he loves and has tried to elevate and they used his work to make it all seem more serious than it is with a new marketing term and that bothers him. Watchmen was a comic book, now it’s a graphic novel. Comic books are for kids. Graphic novels are for adults. That’s what bothers him, the marketing around it. He loves comics and I don’t think he thinks adults who read them are dumb but he doesn’t think you should put snooty grown-up terms on it either.
