I enjoy Marvel comics (from the various Spider series, some comedy such as Squirrel Girl that just ended, and a few others) but I began reading in late 2014. For a school assignment I have to make a 16 page comic about two basketball players in the style of comicbook artists that came about from 1989-1994 and to all be made within a short time period.
Not having great drawing skill but still wanting to try my best I'm wondering what past artist's works, references, and styles are recommended and maybe even issues of notable art I might be able to get.
