What's the worst drawn comic art you've ever seen?

[Hush Little Batman]

It can be a cover, a single panel (or successive panels), splash page, etc., but it has to be from a comic book.

Here's one that's damn close to being the worst I've ever seen. It's from "The Death of Superman" story with art by Dan Jurgens. Now as much as I dug Jurgen's art, he also drew some incredibly bad shots in terms of proportions and perspectives and this one annoyed me the most.

That's so awful, it doesn't even require an in-depth explanation from me as to why it's so.

[David Atkins]

Ed McGuinness.

Every comic book he's ever touched is butt-frickin'-ugly.

[Radical]

I once read an X-Factor comic where everyone looked like the Frankenstein monster, stitched together with seams or something all over.

[OverMaster]

Anything by Rob Liefeld.

[Nik Hasta]

Most of the Amalgam comics, they're just freakin' ugly.

Nightwing: Bloodborne is a well told story but has absoultely THE WORST ARTWORK in a mainstream comicbook ever!

a sample of the horendous work:

http://www.kaipahl.de/wortauf/_images/buch_bat_bloodborne_2.jpg

[TheRedFear]

I don't know who drew it but the artist should be shot. It was the story arc in Spiderman where Sandman's different personalities had manifested as different beings. One was like a mutant baby, and one was a little girl, and one was a raging monster. The art was jsut nauseating though. It was ahrd to beleive somebody had been PAYED for that crap.

[T51R]

Anyone remember when Joe Quesada started on X-Factor?:D

[Guts/Batman]

YES! Every guy has the same body structure. Every girl has the same body structure. Show some versatility, man!

Exactly how I feel about Jim Lee.

[Tommy]

Chris Bachalo is the only artist I know of whose art I flat out hate. It is messy and unclear. He also has the annoying tick of putting scars on men's faces for no reason. I am still looking for his Magneto from Ultimate War 1. Which is the WORST drawing of Magneto ever done in my opinion.

Rob I have never read anything by so I can't hate him really...

[Arrjay]

http://www.kaipahl.de/wortauf/_images/buch_bat_bloodborne_2.jpg

That is shockingly bad art but nothing can compare to the horror that is Rob Liefield.

[Knightosis]

Humberto Ramos' art, especially on Wolverine. My god I never thought an
artist that bad existed.

[Tommy]

Ahh Liefield..

[Alan2099]

Whoever did the art for Doom 2099 #42. I don't know if it was the regular artist or not because I didn't get any of thei issues around that one.

Now I'm not one for saying art is horrible. I actually liek some of Liefeld's stuff and even the people who's art I usually don't like, i can see some good in, but this guy was utter trash.

I wish I had some scans.

[HOLD DAT]

wolverine + hulk 6 hours- worst art i've ever seen. i still bought every issue though.lol

This is Salvador Larocca's alternate cover for House Of M#7 and one of the worst examples of published artwork I've ever seen.
http://www.samruby.com/Series/HouseOfM/Large/HouseOfM7a.jpg

The fact that this is not just a cover, but a cover to high-profile crossover event boggles the mind. It's like he didn't even lay out the shot first, and just started drawing figures. First, there isn't even a discernable surface--what are the characters standing on? Any dramatic tension the cover should've had
is ruined by the fact that the two groups are only 4 feet away from eachother and don't seem to be existing on the same plane. Because of the jack-up perspective, the characters in the immediate foreground can't possibly be existing in the same place that Wolverine and the others are (look at where Wolverine's feet touch the "ground" in respect to where Namor's feet should touch it--impossible!). This gives the impression that Namor and Warbird are simply watching the fight on a giant TV instead of actually there. Sal was too lazy to even draw most of the characters' lower halves, deciding instead to just let their upper bodies gradually disappear into the nothingness
that's supposed to be the ground. Good thing Magneto and Doom are there to raise there hands stupidly while their assmbled masses (consisting of four guys) charge toward the heroes, who are standing tritely and ducking out of the way of nothingness. Yo, Iron Man, the battle's that way...no THAT way. Really, go back to art school, Sal.

http://www.samruby.com/Series/HouseOfM/Large/HouseOfM7a.jpg

I'd like to ask some questions about this cover, only some of which can actually be answered.

Why is Cage ducking?
What is Spidey's web sticking to?
Why is Iron Man seemingly flying backwards? (Actually, without jets it looks like he's floating there.)
Who all is on Magneto's side? It's a little hard to tell.
I don't remember Doom or Nightcrawler being on Mag's side?
Why is Magneto wearing his regular costume?
What's that random energy bolt on the right?
How are we supposed to know that's Namor at the bottom?
Who's the girl above Warbird/Ms. Marvel? And how is she higher?

[colossus34]

:eek: Who, in God's name, drew that?

Some hack named Toby Cypress, he made everyone look gangly and misshapen. The story is pretty good and Nightwing kicks some ass in it but overall there's nothing at all attractive in this book!! I barely could read it the art was soooo bad.

Here is the cover by the way...more uglyness
http://www.xraycomics.com/scans/batman_nightwing_bloodborne_1.jpg

On Rob Liefield, funny thing is his work looks more dated than anything else. I actually use to like the whole angular drawing, bodies, at least they looked detailed...back in the 90's.

[The Punished]

Ever heard of Ernie Steiner?

Artist on the late 80s early 90s Nick Fury: Agent of Shield series. He doomed the series which was incredible with Jackson Guice art [ah, the babes!]

[ocelotrevs]

The art in Wolverine: The End.
It was ugly.

Not only that, but they messed up his feet so he can't run away even if he gets loose.

[Deadpooligan]

Ed McGuinness.

Every comic book he's ever touched is butt-frickin'-ugly.

To be honest, I actually enjoy his over-exaggerated style. This may or may not be due to him being a co-founder of the Deadpool ongoing.

Also, I really can't stand anything done by Tim Sale. It's just so bland.

[lonewolf23k]

Ron Lim's work on Sonic the Hedgehog. His mobians just didn't look right.

I'd also like to know why Cage is hovering in mid-air while ducking. The place where he feet should touch the ground are level with Cyclops's shoulder.

Why did Mystique fall asleep during the leading charge?

Why do some characters have their House of M costumes and others
don't?

Awful.

[Reptisaurus!]

Interesting, ask him if he was on drugs when he did it...only explanation.;)

Nah. Take a closer look at the first panel. That's some really interesting use of blank space. The guy's obviously got some skillz.

I tend to pay more attention to page and panel design than the actual drawing. Therefore: I love Ed Mcguiness, and Sam Keith is a God amongst men.

[Lurch]

There are a lot of artists that are popular that I don't care for, like Mike Grell, who's a very nice guy, by the way, but he does not seem to understand anatomy. I remember his old LSH stuff looking like Neal Adams drew it with his feet. And McGuiness, who just starts making up muscle groups when he runs out of real ones. Humberto Ramos needs to be doing Japanese comics or something, and frankly, I never really liked J.R. Jr. (I was spoiled by his dad, which is a switch, I guess.) and even though Jim Lee got himself out from under Liefeld's influence and actually learned how to draw, all of his work looks stilted to me.

But then there are the supposed artists that I wonder why they were ever, ever hired to work in the field of comics...

Liefeld is the main one, but can anyone name the guy that did the fill-in issues for Frank Quitely on Morrison's X-Men run? Good Lord that was some awful art! And it was so much more pronounced because Quitely is so good!

[Stretch Dude]

I'm not too fond of Quitely, myself. His stuff isn't truly bad, per se, but I just don't think he should be drawing superhero comics given his tendency to make everyone look 20 pounds overweight.

[Hush Little Batman]

Back when Marvel was still publishing Generation X, they came out with a special called, 'Generation X: Underground' drawn by Jim Mahfood with art that looked sloppy and rushed. This was especially hard to take as the cover price was either $2.99 or $3.99 and I was both a Gen-X fan and completionist back then.

That's just a sample as I couldn't find any pics of the interior "artwork".

[Alan2099]

Mahfood's art always looks like that. In fact, that was one of his more detailed works.

personally, I like the style but it's no good for standard super heroic stuff.

[monolith_xyber]

The correct answer is...Alan Davis.

Being neither able to write nor draw Davis should be kept at least 50ft away from comics at all times. But sadly isn't.

And Liefeld RULES!!! TO THE MAX!!! TO THE EXTREME!!!!!!!

[Lurch]

I don't care what the common fan says, personally I've always hated Frank Quietly's artwork. Everyone always looks fat or bloated.

Well, it actually took me awhile to start appreciating his work. I think he's sort of an acquired taste. Like Doug Mahnke for instance. His work is really very good also once you get used to all the stringy-haired women and the stylized faces. (Steve Dillon is sort of in that category too in my book, except he's way better than Quitely and Mahnke.) Mahnke and Quitely both have very good layout skills and are very detailed, but some people can't get used to their quirks. It's funny how artists develop those and never get away from them. When I was in art school there was a girl that I called Big Feet because she always drew everyone with over-sized feet. She in turn called me Little Feet because I did the opposite. It was just a funny thing because she was a tiny little girl and I'm a really big guy.

To be fair, the first to shots of Cap were done by Bart Sears. The Cap "redesigns" are drawings of Fighting American, a character from Liefield's Awesome Comics. He has quite a history, actually.

On topic, that first picture of Cap has to be the worst Captain America drawing EVER.

[Erebus]

I remember reading "Knightfall" for the first time, and halfway through, they show a picture of Robin doing a kick in midair. On leg looked like a toothpick, while the other one looked like a Christmas ham. I tried to read the rest, but my mind kept going back to that pic, so I just stopped.

[Lurch]

Hey lets be fair about the Sears drawings. They're only slightly more ridiculously muscle-bound than what McGuiness does with Superman. (or Batman, or any other character, for that matter.)

[Fallman]

Meh. Never had a problem with McGuiness. His stuff looked cartoony, but the compositions were alright and he never made anything out and out ugly like some of the people here.

[Lurch]

Yeah, I'll give credit where it's due, and he really does have good layout and comp skills. I remember in particular the stuff he did on Superman/Batman was good, and the JLA stuff he did with Morrison was a particularly fun read because I think Morrison's scripts are really detailed.

He says he's studied Kirby, and I guess that shows in terms of his dynamics. But then again, Kirby was brilliant and all, but he could have stood a little influence from Hogarth too.

To be fair there are PLENTY of artists who are wonderful, and yet woefully miscast in Super-heroes. Skottie Young I love if he is drawing teens. However put people in costume and it looks awful.

Chris Bachalo comes to mind. His art is very quirky but not good for superhero stuff. I didn't particularly care for it when he was on Gen-X and it got even worse when I saw Steampunk - which I had a lot of trouble deciphering visually .

[Damo]

The worst I've ever seen from a book published by a professional company blows all of these out of the water, and that's not just me trying to top everyone else.

Sonic Super Special #15: Naugus Games, art by "Many Hands".

Aside from the fact that the drawings of the main characters were what I'd expect to find on some worried parent's fridge (and I'm not kidding, it was that bad) half of the panels had no art at all. Sonic walks into a snowstorm, so all the panels are white. Then Sonic falls down a hole, and all the panels are black. And that's for half the dang book. I mean, wow, I know Archie isn't DC or Marvel, but they're not stapling together pages as they come out of a photocopier either.

Right, that's it for the story! Let's check out this "Arte" (A trademark of Extreme Studios, not to be confused with 'Art,' an industry-wide standard of quality not subscribed to by Extreme Studios and its management). Here, one of my favorite scenes, the soon-to-be Bucky (Designed to look a heck of a lot like Carrie from Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns) confronts her brother and his friend, a tremendously-huge freak ... and no one seems to think this is weird. Check it out, looking at where 'John's' feet would most likely end, his pal is probably buried about three feet in the sidewalk. Not to mention that his gargantuan arms would easily scrape pavement were they ever in a relaxed position. AND on top of all of this, the stoop on which Bucky sits appears to go up about one story, officially making it the largest stoop I've ever seen ... and if that IS the entrance to their building, then having the stairs go up to the second floor kind of defeats the purpose of having first-floor apartments.

why is Supes leg so distorted, its terrible, and the shadow isnt right

[Young Avenger]

Frank Miller. He should never be allowed to draw.

[G. Wayne]

At least McGuiness is consistent with his style, compared to a lot of the artists who just get sloppy and have a lot of difficulty drawing the same thing from panel to panel. I happen to like McGuiness too.

I don't have scans, but my picks are the JSA classified Vandal Savage arc, particularly the second issue, and there's a Claw the Unconquered/Red Sonja cover that's all kinda of messed up with proportions and planes and perspective.

[jwilds73]

Ed McGuinness.

Every comic book he's ever touched is butt-frickin'-ugly.

Yeah I seen the toys based on his art every character looks constipated.

[The Mirrorball Man]

I have to admit that I'm usually embarrassed by this kind of thread, because most traditionalist superheroes fans tend to express very strongly how much they hate any artist with any sense of style, and how much they love a very academic kind of artwork that can basically be described as "Curt Swan with more brush strokes".

I'm sure that no matter our personal preferences, we can stomach a little diversity. I'm not necessarily a huge fan of Ed McGuinness or Frank Quitely, but seeing people mentioning their names in a "worst comic art ever" thread is embarrassing.

That being said, the worst comic book art I can think of right now (though it's probably not the worst in the world), is Mario Gully's work on "Ant (http://www.brokenfrontier.com/img/2005/may/fundr/antASP1_1.jpg)", especially what I've seen of the early issues. There are lots of perspective and anatomy errors, amateurish linework, derivative character designs and sloppy visual storytelling.

[SamuraiJack]

I see your Ethan Van Sciver, and raise you Mike Mignola.

I've seen LEGIONS of fans raving about his Hellboy stuff, and I think it looks like what comes up after a bad night pub-hopping. Just my personal opinion, of course.

And the top five answers to that question are;

5) Had recently used leg as a stand-in for the street in "Billie Jean" video.

4) Is currently modeling tights designed by H.R. Geiger.

3) Forgot to wash it after using it to kick Dr. Light's ass for trying to put the moves to Sif.

I hate the artwork for the current ultimate x-men run, I want to stab the artist repeatedly with a rusty screw driver.

Who's the artist?

[Kage Kisaragi]

It was Ben Oliver but as of now (I just went to the comicbook shop today.) its a new person, Yanick Paquette, whos art seems fairly good to me. Paquette isnt revolutionary but now I can tell the characters that are supposed to be good looking from the ones that arent now. :)

Nightwing: Bloodborne is a well told story but has absoultely THE WORST ARTWORK in a mainstream comicbook ever!

a sample of the horendous work:

who IS this person? it looks like a VERY bad Ted McKeever impression!

There's sooo much wrong with that picture.

I just had to post one of the classics. :p

the old online magazine "Sequential Tart" actually had something akin to a 500 word essay describing everything that was so horribly wrong about Cap and his man-boobs. it was written by Laura DuPuy, I think. as part of their old "bizarre breasts" column... and it was one of the funniest things I've ever read on the internet. that picture always makes me laugh whenever I see it.

I second Frank Miller. The first time I came across DKR I didn't pick it up because of the art, but thankfully I did the second time.

It's especially apparent in Ronin. The giant super computer is a giant gelatious blob apparently.

That's why All Star Batman looked like a good idea on paper, but we didn't account on Miller's writing skills going down the drain too. DKSA should have been the first sign.

Dark Knight Returns had an award-winning story, but I think you and I will agree that the art was butt ugly.

Too bad it's not available anymore. I would've loved to have read that.

visit

http://www.sequentialtart.com and look up the archives in the 'search' directory for "bizarre breasts' or "Laura Dupuy".

it's a nicely balanced online mag written by women, for women, that focuses on anime, comics, and manga. it's not quite as awesome as it was back in 98-2003 but it's still pretty solid. out of all the comics journalism out there it and CBR are my two favorites... comics journal leaves a sour elitist vanity press taste in my mouth. :(

Almost forgot one. Marc Campos's work on Extreme Justice.

Look, I LIKE Liefeld's stuff most of the time and I still have to criticise this guy for overusing those little detailed lines and having absolutley no concept of pannel layout of anatomy.

You'll have to scroll down a little bit to get to his "good stuff."

What has he done to you Booster?
