Superman Through the Ages! Forum

In my opinion Brian Bolland is fantastic to capture the spirit of the Silver Age. I like see a new serie in this style.Alan Moore for text and Brian Bolland for art...Wow! a real dream!!                                                                                                    (http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/4087/imaginarystoriesqh7.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)                                                                                                           (http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/2411/zatanna02adw5.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)                                                                                                            (http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/3359/gothamknights43kk9.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)                       

You know, you're right.... Bolland is the creme de la creme.  His original looking stuff (like Camelot 3000) was great, but as a "ghost artist" he is ultra talented.  THE most amazing artist out there. 

Oh... don't forget the cover to World's Funnest...

He would make the perfect Superman artist:

One of my favorite covers:

And this is the demonstration that can be made great things also with the Mort Weisinger's stuff.Alan Moore teach.

My favourite are the two guys low,in center. ;)                                                                             (http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/9836/worldsfunnestwm7.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Since he has worked with Grant Morrison many times before, on covers at least, why not have him take over All-Star Once Franks leaves after issue #12?

"Since he has worked with Grant Morrison many times before, on covers at least, why not have him take over All-Star Once Franks leaves after issue #12?"

Because we'd be lucky if they shipped  one issue a year?

To his credit, the great Mr. Bolland doesn't want to make books late because he knows he can't do a 20+ page book on a regular schedule.

So he makes Frank look like Sergio Aragones?

Never mind then, but at least get him to draw covers, his covers are amazing!

His line work is tremendous, razor sharp. Proportion appears fabulous. His covers are always expressive and usually give the reader an understanding into the character's mind. He's a grand cover storyteller, a real throwback with modern touch.   

Yeah Bolland is ssssssllllllooooooooowwww.

I always find him a little stiff and a little to "EC-ish" --my pref is for Jaime Hernandez or Steve Rude.

That would ruin the interior art cause it would pale compared to the cover!

I'd love to see a superhero comic illustrated by Jaime Hernandez; you can't help wondering what his Lois would look like. As for Steve Rude, hey, I just remembered -- is The Moth still going?

I think there is a new Nexus coming out.

As for Hernandez, outside of a few fanzine submissions from the early 80s, a few Legion femmes for the "DC Handbook", a few covers, and a Capt Marvel page for "World's Funnest", the only superheroes he's done have appeared in his own Love and Rockets stories --great characters like Comrade 7, Spacegirl, Cheeta Torpeda, & Ultimax.  But your right, his Lois would be interesting.  His Mary Marvel was really cute.

Xamie's Supergirl!

This is a funny thread about a sketch Bolland did at a con.  It doesn't sound like he's slow when drawing at cons.

I read his responses and they seem logical to me.

And I actually love that Batwoman sketch!

Wow, this thing just keeps getting weirder:

Now Bolland is trying to get the whole discussion to go away by using a lawyer.
