Rob Liefeld's 40 worst drawings. I searched and didn't see it, so I thought I'd repost this which has brought me alot of joy. It's linked off of his wikipedia now, which is harsh.

I wondered how "a good read" and "Rob Liefeld" could possibly go together.

Although you may be surprised based on the art, at one point in the early to mid 1990's, he was one of the most popular comic book artists and creators. He and 4 other artists who worked for Marvel left and formed their own company called Image. His series Youngblood was a phenom seller.

I was taking a shit and reached behind me for something to page through, and came up with a Cable/Deadpool trade from the toilet tank. I looked at the cover and thought 'who the fuck drew this' and when my eyes drifted down to the sig I said 'oh'

I remember that. My friend was trying to get me back into comics and forced me to buy the first four issues of one of the first Image comics. I have no idea where they are or what the name was. I remember my friend was buying their big hit, and told me I should get the second most popular title. Are they worth anything?

No.


There's not many books that are worth anything from that period. They effectively flooded the market.

If it was just 4 issues, maybe it was WildC.A.T.S? I think that was initially a 4 issue mini series that just continued with #5 six months down the road when they were ready to publish monthly.

[EliSnow]

Haven't looked at the list yet, but I'm betting the Heroes Reborn Captain America with the oversized chest is one of the top worst drawings.

The only good thing to have come out of Image was The Walking Dead and Liefield didn't have shit to do with that.

5 years from now when I find them in the attic, I may be able to confirm this. Stick around.

Powers and Invincible are great. Cassanova is another good ongoing series. Sam & Twitch was very good when Bendis was writing it, plus his Jinx, Goldfish and Torso minis.

Wildstorm is with DC right now, but Jim Lee actually created apretty good universe with cool concepts for creators to play with...see what Warren Ellis did with Stormwatch and then the Authority (and also what Mark Millar and Ed Brubaker did with the latter). Brubaker's Sleeper wa outstanding, too.

Alan Moore's work with Wildstorm and Liefeld's characters and other Image characters isn't his best work by far, but it's still fun, especially the stuff with Supreme.

Image in the 90's was pretty heinous, but it's not a damn good resource for smaller names to get started and get noticed and still retain control of their characters. It's actually come around to become what it started out to be in helping the "little guy" make it in comics.

Now if McFarlane would just stop dicking around and let someone release all those old Miracleman/Marvelman stories...

Is it so wrong to ask for women to have huge breasts, ass-length hair, and no feet?

The only good thing to have come out of Image was The Walking Dead and Liefield didn't have shit to do with that.

Also Astro City, The Maxx, Leave it to Chance and 1963 all say hello. While they didn't start at Image, they also published Groo and Bone for a little while.

I also enjoyed Savage Dragon and the related spin offs. Not high art by any means but fine examples of popcorn comics. Especially Freak Force, which had Keith Giffen co-writing and bringing a JLI vibe.

That guy's pretty funny.

Rob Liefeld is still getting commissioned to do work for both major comics publishers. He is one of the most successful, recognizable, well-known and popular comic book artists in history despite being difficult to work with, egotistical, contrary and missing deadlines on a consistent basis. He has made more money than most of us will ever see in our lifetimes. He still cannot draw a foot.

[Sue_Bender]

I have no interest in comic books, but I found the diatribe against Mr. Rob to be hilarious.





That is all.

Greg Land has replaced Liefield as the dickbag comic artist du jour I want to harm repeatedly.
