Rocafort is a personal favorite, along with Ed McGuinness...

To be honest, of all modern artists, his Superman reminded me the most visually of the golden age iteration. Yeah, he's muscular as all hell, but he retains that square jaw and those squinty eyes that Shuster drew him with. Looks like what Shuster's Superman would look like today if artists considered the traits his creator gave them more reverence.

In agreement with you, marshal88. McGuinness will always top my list:

Agreed.
There was just something that really clicked w. his Superman for me, and reading your post I can see what it was!

I've grown to like McGuinness's take in a pin-up sense. I still think its too bulky and caricaturist for what I might enjoy inside the pages, in an ongoing story, but in terms of posing in grandeur and whatnot I appreciate it more than I did back in the day, when I kinda couldn't stand it.

I'm not entirely sure what "stylized" means if we're including Adams, Reis, Churchill, etc. The was an issue Loeb did with splashes from around the industry, and though I think Joe Mad is phenomenal I wish I liked his part better.

But of very distinct styles, I've always really enjoyed Giffen getting to do it. Bogdanove is simultaneously perhaps the most studied and maybe the longest reigning king of style.

Warhol would generally lift from comics to make his image. The second image is definitely Curt Swan.

Ed Benes

That's Ian Churchill.

I do also have a soft spot for Jerry Ordway Superman.

Yeah, a lot of the choices here are just mainstream superhero stuff (not an insult either, Ivan Reis is pretty much as good as it gets- just saying).

[Vordan]

Agreed about Swan. His Superman always just kinda looked like an overweight guy to me, honestly. Likewise I respect his longevity and that he fostered an iconic look for the character, I just think visually others have done it much better. If we're talking flashier/stylized looks, to me this takes the cake:


How stylized it would be considered if it wasn't for the costume I don't know, but I consider his work in that realm.

He’s the only one who made me like all the Jim Lee “lines”.

[Sacred Knight]

Yeah, I appreciated when most artists ended up toning them down, but something about Rocafort's style, its like he was born to draw the suit exactly as Lee designed it and did it better.
