His big, hard, Liefeld-style day.

Yeah I'm quite sure now that must have been it; Grant wrote most of Apocalipstick heavily influenced by Oliver Stone's Natural born killers, trying to have Jill Thompson draw in different styles: Jaime Hernandez in the childhood scenes of Fanny; Frank Miller's Sin City in the nightclub scene; Watchmen in the King Mob/Edith scene; Rob Liefeld in the KM flashback.

Oh, I like Jill too, BTW. Don't know why, just do. Her art was kinda, umm...curvy/womby...no hard lines/angles...Sheman completely. Bubbles of MM ready to ripple. Liked the time-whizzing-by-Fanny panels in vol 3. Lubberly.

I'd just like to vehemently disagree with Big Nemo; Ron Howard's work was beautiful stuff; Otto Sump, Pug Ugly etc... and Richard Case on the Doom Patrol was also incredible work. Yer needs yer eyes cleaned, pal...

Smith, dammit, I meant to write Smith... although Ron Howard was pretty good in Happy Days. Not too sure about A Beautiful Mind.

Richard Case was indeed great for Doom Patrol, though somewhat limited in his drawing.
Bad artists... I really dislike Kelley Jones.

Re: Smith and Case

Hmmm. I'll give my peepers a good soak and get back to you.

Russell Braun, Vertigo fill-in artist extraordinaire. Look for his name on a Vertigo cover and be prepared to scream when you see between the covers.

Following on from Cameron's excellent defense of Quitely I have a bit of a problem with him when it comes to drawing figures and I think this is an area (says the person who can't draw a convincing stick figure) where artists can fall down. Compare Quitely's Professor X from a couple of issues ago, with his King Mob from the last issue of Invisibles. For the majority of his characters they all seem to be skeletal-thin (Cyclops especially) or hugely obese (the guy pushing past Gideon and Boy in Invisibles). There seems to be a problem when it comes to filling people out according to their size.

But then, I seem to be the one person who didn't like the art from the first arc of s. 3 (not appropriate to the Invisibles, not crap) so what do I know.

Why was Bond, in yr opinion, inappropriate?

Thought his cutesy pop-art perfectly summed up the whole, artificial, ad-chic, simulation vibe.....vol 3 in a nutshell.

Our Lady of The Two Towers

Mainly because his Lord Fanny looked like a fucking three year old. I quite like it in 'Kill Your Boyfriend' but the scene with Mob and Mr Six on Glastonbury Tor was crying out to be drawn by someone with a more 'realistic' style.

At the risk of becoming Ho Garden:

Jill Thompson - already much discussed, won't get into it all again

Melinda Gebbie - does the 'Cobweb' stuff for Moore's ABC line; awful anatomy and facial rendering - wonder if she'd have attained any mainstream comics work if she weren't Moore's main squeeze...

The guy who does 'Greyshirt' - same reasons, really.

RICK VEITCH???? NO WAY!!!!
Rick Veitch fookin' rocks! Oh, my. Is Greyshirt all you've seen of his, Ganesh? His style's loose and, yes, well, UGLY, but ugly in a good way, I think. Ah, it's all subjective anyway.
And Jilly Thompson is awesome. I shan't take much more of this Jill-bashing, you hooligans!

No, I've seen other stuff of Rick Veitch's (sp?) and I agree, his 'Greyshirt' stuff is unrepresentative - to the point that I didn't realise it was him.

An eensy bit of thread rot...but really just an addendum to my previous post.
I may be wrong here, but...is Jill Thompson married to Brian Azzarello? I'm thinking that's right but I'm not sure.
