In Reply to: It was almost better than Frank Miller... nt posted by clarkjohnsen on June 20, 2005 at 07:58:25:
Miller had a flashy drawing style that was all surface with no substance, and unfortunately an entire generation of comic book artists grew up aping his art. He was utterly unable to do the most important and basic element of comics: tell a story with pictures! The truly great comic book artists such as Jack Kirby and John Buscema had such strong storytelling ability that you could pretty much follow the plots of their comics without reading anything. If you removed the dialogue from a Miller comic book on the other hand you'd be completely lost. His storytelling and page composition was so poor that he sometimes had to resort to inserting arrows to show the reader which panel to go to next. Miller also was a mediocre draftsman at best. His characters changed proportion from one panel to the next, and even in a single frame Batman might have forearms of two different sizes.Miller is the John Tesh of comic book artists. I ran into him at a movie in NYC once and told him that I thought he should stick his hands in a blender.
