I agree with you guys-- in other words, 7 + 10 doesn't always equal "17".

The pairing of penciler and inker can go so many different ways. It's a magical process.

When I found that image at the top of the thread, I was moved by it because I seriously doubt Starlin or Sinnott was trying to evoke Steranko --I think it just "added up" that way.

I've been checking out THE WALKING DEAD, and there's a phase of Charlie Adlard's art that strikes me as a cross between JB and Walt Simonson.

Which I feel odd for saying, because there are actual examples of "Byrnonson" art but it doesn't really like that.

Are there any 'bigfeet' artists lurking in your hopper as well? There's a very organic cartooniness to your work that it seems like you can turn up and down like a dimmer switch.
