I hope I can get this book outside the US.

Both Calkins and Raymond in Flash Gordon owed a lot to Art Deco. Raymond was actually working in what was the King Features House Style. So was Calkins working in a Chicago style. This was driven home to me when I finally looked at John Terry's Scorchy Smith after rereadding for the umpteenth time Harold Gray's comments about what he learned about comics from Sidney Smith. It sank in how much like Buck Rogers and Calkins aviation strip crossroads Scorchy looked. One by-product of this in both Calkins's and Russell Keaton's art was the linear and more decorative approach to cityscapes than Raymond's more classically influenced concentration of volume. One person who admitted he was influenced by Buck Rogers was Jack Kirby and a look at his cityscapes from Asgard and Atlantis to his designs for the aborted movie of Zelazny's Lord of Light will show many intriguing parallels. I like Yager and Tuska (who also worked on Scorchy Smith) too but by then the styles had changed. Murphy Anderson also ghosted Prince Valiant at one point. Just thoughtf I'd put my two cents in because you didn't mention the Kirby connection. This was a good vedeo.

John Byrne is not a "Canadian artist". He was born in England, and moved to Canada as a child. He's British.

Byrne's Superman was lazy, inept and unsatisfying. Byrne was in way over his egomaniacal head. Also, Byrne's "revamp" of Superman had nothing to so with Crisis On Infinite Earths.

Holy Terror!

It would be nice to have an artisan edition of Man of Steel ❤

John Byrne, one of my top 10 comic book artist.

Thanks for having me--it was great chatting with you!🤗🙂

Wonder how Promethea would look if he'd agree to do it. Would probably end up as another unfinished Alan Moore book;)

Sad to hear that Rogers passed I was wondering why I haven't seen any of his work in years.

In Sweden he's called "Den Vandrande Vålnaden" which means something like "The wandering wraith" it just sounds cooler than ghost who walks. Its alliterative He's also dark blue due to a lack of purple ink at the time. Which makes him look more intimidating and is better camouflage. I think it actually ended up making him better. Also the legacy thing is great with all the historical settings. I think he needs some competently made movies. They could add some realism and sensitivity towards the african setting and how they portray the tribesmen. Id like a movie set during historical periods. I remember reading one where he was protecting huguenots from persecution in france and another one where he mets Rene Descartes in Sweden. There's just so many possibilities with the character.

I bought the entire run of "All Star" Archive Editions. Exciting to flip through!

The better written book at DC were the cartoon books ment for the kids.

He became one the lost artist in the DC office. Look at how many artists were under used. The same goes with writers who kept on a short lead.

The Phantom was the number hero in Australia. Harvey Hits books were some of the best. My SF unit in Vietnam were called The Ghosts Who Walk code name.Lee Falk created the trunk all hero's ware..He was the Commander of the jungle police.

I absolutely love Bruce Timms comics work, but I don't like the new Batman cape crusader. The animation just looks too simplified, not enough shadow and detail to it.

MY FATHER GIVE OLD COMICS OF PHANTOM AND I READ ALL THE MCOMISC IN 2005 ITS SO FUN TO READ AND SO UNIQUE THIS CHARACTER IS MEANS HE LIVES IN CAVES AND IN JUNGLE AND COMMUNICATE LIKE OLD PEOPLE

No mention of Terry Austin's inks :(... still nice to see you highlight this run... and I bought that Batman portfolio as soon as it came out in the early 80's. They were fantastic images! Some of the most iconic ( to me) of Batman. Glad you included them in the video. Overall , good job, and thanks for putting this together.

Rad! Kind of has Mike Allred meets Jack Kirby vibes

Thanks for this video! Beautifully made keep spreading the good work

Remember when The Batman from the 2000s first hit it reminded me big time of Breyfogle. with his motion and actions they felt so quick and impactful just like his drawings of Batsy.

Loved the Justice Society. I was reading Comics in 1964, and my Uncle had thousands of Comics from 1941 to 1964, so I got to read some JSA early on. I now have a, Slightly Fudged 31 member Justice Society in Action Figures. Now, that's counting newer members and also some retconned All Star Squadron members, like Uncle Sam, Phantom Lady, the Ray, and original Guardian. Newer members Power Girl, Earth 2 Robin, Huntress, Stargirl, Cyclone, and Atom Smasher.

Adams already redefined the character earler.

Really cool segment, Benjamin Morse, Comic Book Artist. I tapped the thumbs up icon on your clip. Persist in the amazing work. Eager see more videos from you.

You post this video a month ago, and YT only lets me know about it now?! Nice algorithm, TH-cam! Anyway, always nice to see Rogers get the recognition he deserves. Thank you.(And, DC! When are you going to publish a "Complete Batman by Marshall Rogers" edition?)

Yes, Garcia Lopez's ATARI FORCE is INCREDIBLE!! He made that property!🔥🔥🔥🔥

Bruce Timm and Paul Dini are the goats. My only problem with Bruce Timm is his obsession with Bruce and Barbara. It's a little weird not gonna lie.

Great video, this is a small nitpick, Grant Morrison identified as non binary and prefers "they/them" pronouns. I don't expect everyone to just know this

Great video but I'm surprised Roy Thomas himself hasn't made a video since he once owned all 57 issues of the original All Star Comics!

Len Wein ("Ween").

Really nice! One quibble, less about the content, more the video itself. Some of the soundmix sounds off (too soft narration?) before the ad break. But as for the content: let's just say BTAS ignited my love of superheroes. So I wouldn't be doing comics if it wasn't for Bruce Timm, in part :)

Great video man,Bruce Timm is a great artist and his Batman the animated series,Batman Beyond,Justice League are his masterpieces.

his initials are Justice League Green Lantern, man!

When is the style guide being re-released? And where can it be purchased?

Thank you Jose for legendary childhood memories and swag! His drawing of Batman Vs. Joker (Joker has a Joker mallet and Joker flower shooting acid) has been my favorite since i was a toddler. I have the lunchbox and thermos set

We have lived in an age of giants and JLGL is definitely one of them. Awesome artist.

I've always been curious why he didn't have a longer run on Batman was it his choice to leave? Does anyone know?

What a legendary artist. Wow. I had no idea.

The Super Powers Collection! I had seen JLGL work on Batman v Hulk, but his Arrt for that toy lines packaging blew my mind. One of the BEST!

Could you do art of alex toth

Luis Garcia-Lopez kissed my sister. After i asked him not to. Ive still a mix of emotions about it.

Great video about a great artist. I'm looking over your channel, and it looks like I have a lot of watching to catch up on. A couple of pronunciation notes: Len Wein pronounced his name "ween," and Dick Giordano was "jor-dan-o," not "gor-dee-an-o."

JLGL......the goat

Why does everybody hate on Batman and Robin ? I love that movie it's silly fun , what's wrong with that ?

Garcia Lopez’s art is great. The Road To Perdition he did was one of the sequel not original

I'm interested in how Lopez trained himself to get as good as he was: clean lines, but also very good mix of the realistic (anatomy) and the fantastic.

Woah this guy's art is soo much energy im a life long manga reader and anime watcher and i'd read his stuff for sure only if modern comics was like that

Fun fact: Aside from the Marvel characters who appeared in the Batman/Hulk crossover; the only other Marvel character JLGL ever drew for Marvel was Wonder Man from the second Marvel Handbook. Supposedly, Jose wanted to see his pencils inked by Joe Rubenstein.

Do you truly like José Luis García López´s art? By the way I find it interesting that whenever an important a Spanish name (particularly in DC) it so happens that it is because the artists are either Spanish or from Puerto Rico. ...like, the AMAZING Jorge Jiménez. And not that looks are everything but Jorge is young and looks more like a model than the artist he is. And he works from Spain.
