You wish you could draw that good after you're 100 years old.

I like how this is clearly 2 different images spliced together with photoshop. Frank only drew the bubbles around let's say that's Wolverine mouth, while the air bubbles around Batman are all digital

1. Alcoholism damages your nervous system. Especially prolonged alcoholism.

2. Drug use damages your nervous system. Especially prolonged drug use.

3. Chemotherapy damages your nervous system.

Bottom line: The man probably can't even hold a pencil steady.

Now stop making this thread.

>>149557425
Wrong. See above.

>Rob Liefeld tries to give this some context "It's the exact style he's been utilizing for the past 25 years since his final days on Sin City, prior to his Dark Knight Strikes Again, the sequel to Dark Knight released in 2001. It was during his press cycle for DK2 that Frank invoked the independent influences that were informing his own stylings circa 2001. He cited Tony Millionaire and Paul Pope as talents that were turning him on at that period. Frank is fluid, as Bruce Lee encouraged, be like water. Frank is. During a lengthy phone conversation with Frank in 1996, Frank told me he utilizes an "ugly style". He said, "Y'know Rob, I don't draw pretty, never have, never did." Why on earth would he? He changed the world with his unique, ugly approach.

>"Frank Miller, two months shy of Sixty-Eight years old, is still putting pen to paper and stirring the masses. He has illustrated my own creation, Deadpool, twice in the past year, two striking cover images, both thrilled me. They gave me goosebumps. It's electric seeing one of my favorite creators and one of my biggest influences produce modern, relevant work. It's modern because it's happening right now, it's relevant because you can't stop talking about it at this very minute… He's not moving backward; he's deliberately crafting this new style as he has been evolving over the past 3 decades. His younger self incorporated vast servings of Gil Kane figure work and Will Eisner storytelling, but those works stand on their own merits and his new work is defining its place in the artistic pantheon. It's far more underground than mainstream by design. Enjoy the work as it arrives. Appreciate it while it flows. And thank him for all the oxygen he gave us. Comics wouldn't be breathing without the air he provided."

Nah. Like it’s said here
>>149558338
He was already on track to do his modern style in the 90s before he got sick and old. He’s definitely degraded but he was already leaning that way anyway.
I think the issue is more his compositions became less interesting and less dynamic or busy, which makes the issues strand out.

It’s very likely Laird is the only reason we know Kevin Eastman’s name

He may have made a conscious stylistic change, but you can tell that his line work in shaky after a certain point. Dude was literally having trouble holding a pencil steady.His health DID affect his ability to draw dramatically.
