Coming from it as a layman, I can see what you're getting at in terms of distinguishing key aspects distinguishing between Iconic vs Realistic artstyles, but I'm not really convinced by how you're presenting these as a binary between two "schools", as if comparing specific artistic movements. Doesn't feel particularly reflective of Comic Book history.

Even with publishers strict about enforcing a cohesive artstyle between different artists (like Bonelli's Tex there), I don't think there has ever even been a point in comic book history where a formal "Realism school" as strict as you're describing extended to more than a couple of series within the same wheelhouse. By contrast, in your definition "stylized" covers extremely broad spectrums even within each individual category.

Were you thinking of any specific examples or a time period in particular?
