    Default Underrated comic book artists?

    Comics are a visual medium, so it goes without saying an artist is important. But not everyone can be a George Perez or a John Byrne, even if they're really good in their own right. Here is where we appreciate those who need appreciation more. Also, include art!

    I'll start:

    Ron Frenz

    A part of the Marvel stable in the '80s, he's the most frequent collaborator of the fan-favorite writer Tom DeFalco. I think his stuff is stellar. He can do environments, consistent character models, and fight scenes really well, especially in capturing the movement of it. I've read Spider-Man comics drawn by him, and he can captured the frenetic nature of an attack. As controversial as the Spider-Man vs. Firelord fight is in certain circles, it really displays the strengths of his artwork and all of what I mentioned.





    Anyways, what other underrated artists would you like to mention and display?

    Kyle Baker

    His graphic novels Why I Hate Saturn and The Cowboy Wally Show, while forgotten now, are among the greatest comics of all time in my opinion.

    A Japanese manga artist named Itou Ei whose cute and gorgeous artwork deserves more attention.

    Naoshi Onizuka has a distinct art style that I think everyone should notice.

    Okada Kou is also underrated and has a clean and polished art style.
